Their face, and what you are to them.
Send us a photo of each pet - one, two, three or four. A real artist hand-draws every portrait, then they are embroidered in premium Madeira European thread, with your word stitched below in a hand-lettered script - Mama, Dad, Nana, Grandma or Auntie.
A print cracks and fades with washing. Embroidery does not. This is the version you will still be wearing in five years.
What makes it different
- 30,000 to 40,000+ stitches per pet - even a short-coat Frenchie runs about 33,000; a furry coat at full size passes 40,000
- Hand-drawn, then hand-digitized - a real artist draws your pet and a person maps every stitch. Never auto-digitizing software, never AI-generated
- Up to 15 thread shades per pet - our machine carries 15 needles, so the full palette runs in one pass. Fewer needles means a simpler palette, and a simpler palette is what makes a portrait look flat
- Real embroidery, never printed - script and portrait both stitched, not printed
- Choose 1 to 4 pets - priced per pet, the whole crew above one word
- Choose your word - Mama, Dad, Nana, Grandma or Auntie, in four thread colours
- Independent Trading Co. SS3000 blank, 288 GSM, 80% cotton / 20% polyester - we choose midweight over heavyweight on purpose: brushed heavyweight fleece has a nap that fine stitch detail sinks into, while a smooth cotton face holds every line
- Properly built - split-stitch double-needle seams, twill neck tape, 1x1 ribbed collar, cuffs and waistband
- 9 colours, sizes S to 2XL
- Embroidered directly onto the garment - never an applied patch
- Stitched and shipped from our own studio in Austin, Texas - never drop-shipped to a third party
- Made to order in Austin, Texas

Send us one clear photo of each pet
Separate photos are fine - they do not need to be photographed together. Well lit, front-facing, at their eye level.
The upload box takes six photos. If you have more than six to send, upload your best six here and email the rest to info@barkndwell.com with your order number.
Want it without the script?
The standard Pet Portrait Crewneck is the portrait alone, and the Multi-Pet Portrait Crewneck takes two to four pets with no script.
30,000-40,000+ Stitches per pet
Every design digitized from scratch, so the count is never the same twice
Ships in 1-2 Weeks
Not 3-4 weeks like other sellers

Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
- Machine wash cold, inside out on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. Do not iron directly on embroidery. Do not bleach or use high heat - this preserves the stitching and color. Do not dry clean
Shipping & Return
Shipping & Return
Cancellations:
Orders can be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund. After 24 hours, if digitizing has already begun, a $25 digitizing fee will be deducted from your refund to cover the artist's time. Please note that digitizing your pet's portrait into a stitch design takes several hours of skilled work - and once approved, our artisan then hand-selects the right thread colors from a palette of 100+ before the embroidery begins, which takes a few additional hours. Every piece is truly made with care from start to finish.
Returns & Exchanges:
Because every piece is custom made to order, we do not accept returns or exchanges. Please make sure to measure yourself and refer to our size chart before placing your order - we want your piece to fit perfectly! If your order arrives with an error on our part, please contact us within 48 hours of receiving it with clear photos and we will make it right.
Revisions:
We want you to love your piece. If something isn't right, reach out and we will work with you until it is.
