Double-check all spelling, dates, and details before submitting your order. Once production begins, changes typically cannot be made. Contact customer service immediately if you notice an error.

What image quality do I need for the upload dog tag necklace?

For best results, use high-resolution images (at least 300 DPI). Clear, well-lit photos work best. Avoid blurry, pixelated, or low-quality images as they won't reproduce well.

Absolutely! Each necklace can feature a different location. This is popular for families with members in different cities or couples commemorating multiple special places.

Any location works! Popular choices include hometowns, where couples met, engagement locations, wedding venues, military bases, college campuses, favorite vacation spots, or places where loved ones lived.

What file formats can I upload for the custom dog tag?

Most common image formats are accepted including JPG, PNG, and PDF. Check the product page for specific requirements and file size limits.

How detailed will my pet look in the Pet-stronaut figurine?

The figurines are crafted to capture your pet's unique features, colors, and personality. Providing multiple clear photos from different angles helps ensure accuracy.
