Custom pet pillows have become one of the most meaningful personalised gifts in Australia — perfect for dog lovers, cat owners and anyone wanting a cosy reminder of their furry best mate.

At Snapshell, all pet pillows are hand-designed, ultra-soft, and made with premium materials, making them ideal for home décor, gifts, or memorial keepsakes.

If you’d like to design your own pet pillow, here’s an easy, step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Choose Your Pillow Size & Shape

Before you upload your pet photo, pick the pillow style that suits your space:

Standard Square Pillow

Large Decorative Cushion

Silhouette-Cut Pet Pillow (shaped like your pet)

Different sizes are great for bedrooms, couches, offices, or gifting.

Step 2: Select the Best Photo of Your Pet

Your pillow’s artwork is only as good as the photo you upload.
For the best results, choose a picture that is:

✔ High resolution
✔ Clear and well-lit
✔ Shows your pet’s face or full body
✔ Captures their personality (playful, sleepy, cute)

Pro Tip: Natural daylight photos produce the cleanest artwork and most vibrant colours.

Step 3: Upload Your Photo and Choose Your Illustration Style

On the Snapshell product page, you can upload your favourite photo and choose the drawing style:

Hand-drawn portrait

Cartoon style

Watercolour-inspired art

Realistic digital illustration

Minimalist outline art

Every pet portrait is created manually — no AI, no templates — ensuring 100% uniqueness.

Step 4: Personalise Your Pillow Design

This is where your pillow becomes truly personal. You can customise:

✔ Background colour
✔ Name or short text
✔ Art style & layout
✔ Pattern options
✔ Print on one side or double-sided

Whether it’s a modern look or a fun colourful design, this step lets you reflect your pet’s personality.

Step 5: Approve Your Artwork Preview

Before we start printing, you’ll receive an artwork preview.

Review carefully:

Is the portrait accurate?

Is the name spelled correctly?

Are colours and layout exactly how you want them?

Once approved, your pillow goes into production.

Step 6: Your Custom Pet Pillow Is Handcrafted & Delivered

After approval, the artwork is printed on premium, ultra-soft plush fabric and sewn with high-quality stitching.

Your finished pillow will be:

✔ Soft and comfortable
✔ Durable and long-lasting
✔ Perfect for hugging, décor or gifting
✔ Safe for kids and pets

We deliver Australia-wide and internationally, so your personalised pet pillow arrives ready to brighten any room.
