Let the dog break the news.
Some announcements land better coming from the dog. This is your pet's portrait, hand-drawn from your favorite photo and embroidered onto a heavyweight canvas pillow cover, with your own words stitched underneath — big brother, big sister, big cousin, or anything else you want to say in 23 characters.
Prop it in the nursery, hand it to the grandparents, or put it in the announcement photo. Afterward it stays on the sofa or the reading chair, long after the news has stopped being news.
Real embroidery in premium Madeira European thread — never a print. You can run your thumb across every stitch.
Choose your words
Big Brother · Big Sister · Big Cousin · Little Brother · Little Sister · your baby's name · your due date · or anything at all, up to 23 characters. Block or script lettering, in white, light beige, light brown or black.

Send us a clear photo of their face
A well-lit, front-facing photo taken at your pet's eye level works best. Upload up to three and we will choose the strongest. Our artists hand-draw the portrait before a single stitch is made, so the likeness comes from real drawing, not a filter.
A note on sizing
This 16"x16" cover shows your pet's face. If you would rather have their face and chest, our 20"x20" cover gives the portrait more room. Covers ship without an insert — a 16" insert gives the fullest look.
30,000+ Stitches
More detail than you'll find anywhere else
Ships in 1-2 Weeks

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.
