Questions About Paw Prints

How do I get my pet's paw print (take paw photo)?
Getting a good photo is crucial to achieving a high quality keepsake.

Please follow these guidelines and submit your prints promptly for a quicker turnaround time.  While it is possible to capture a pet’s print using ink or paint, it can be very messy!  Flutterbye Prints recommends that you take a photo of your pet’s paw/nose rather than try to capture the print on paper. 

  • Check your camera to ensure that it is set at a high-quality mode(1080p or higher).
  • Locate your pet in a well-lit area; outside in daylight is a great choice.
  • Try to avoid heavy shadowsover the paw/nose. Check that your head, camera or hand are not casting dark shadows. Paws are also best captured if the fur between the paws is trimmed short.
  • Hold your camera steady so that the camera is in focus. It may be easiest to have someone helping you.
  • Take several pictures to ensure you have some that are in focus.  A recommended distance from the paw to your camera is about 8-10 inches.
  • If you have multiple pets, please indicate which photo belongs to which pet.

Inkless Print Kits available at Flutterbye Prints are NOT recommended for use with pet paws/noses; they do not create clear prints in most cases.

If you prefer to try capturing your pet’s prints on paper, please refer to Using Your Own Ink and Paper.

What if my pet has passed away and I can’t take a photo of the paw?

Sadly, our furry family members aren’t able to stay with us forever.  If you have a clay imprint or ink print of your pet’s paw you can take a photo of the imprint/ink print.  Be sure that you take the photo in a well-lit area. Or you can also use the paw print show in the sample product photos.

If you are not sure if it will work, please send it to info@flutterbyeprints.com and the artist will review it and get back to you.

Do I need to use ink to take my pet’s print?

No, Flutterbye Prints recommends that you take a photo of your pet’s paw rather than try to capture the print on paper.  For tips and tricks please read “Taking Paw and Nose Print Photos” on the blog.

You can also use a photo or scan of an ink/paint print you already have.

How many photos should I send?

If possible, submit multiple photos for the designer to get a more accurate shape and to choose the best photo.

Do I have to use my pet’s actual paw?

Can you do other animals besides cats & dogs?
Please reach out to info@flutterbyeprints.com to see if it will be possible.  Flutterbye Prints has so far created prints for horses, cats and dogs.
I have a photo, can you tell me if it will work for this?
You can submit your order with the photo you have, and if there are any problems the designer will reach out when work is started.  Or please reach out to info@flutterbyeprints.com to have your photo checked.

Very Pleased

I had a paw print made for our daughter who lost her childhood pup. I paid the extra monies to use the imprint of his paw from a pic and it was the most perfect amazing gift. She was in awe and it was the perfect keepsake.
