Our Dog Models are Pampered with Freebies, below-cost luxury items and great exposure!

Getting your pet's pic online is a great way of establishing an online portfolio for possible pet modelling assignments. What a great way to show agents and Big Wigs your adorable pooch or pampered kitty.

Your pet's pic may not even be limited to online. If you have a great pic, your pet may end up in magazines and anywhere you choose to promote it. We use our favorite pet photos in our many promotions and features in various media.

If you would like a shot at getting your pet online (and getting freebies and free pet gifts like Chingy), please send us your pic (via email attachment) wearing clothing. Not all submissions qualify, but meeting the requirements below for good pictures puts you ahead of the game and on your way. So, if you're timid about Fluffy becoming a huge star and having her picture on Broadway, you may not want to submit her photo. Of course, your submission must be original. We cannot guarantee placement of all submissions. But if your pet is selected, and really, really cute, he or she will probably stay online as long as we do.

Tips for Submitting a Good Photo

  • Make sure the background of your picture does not overwhelm your subject, i.e. the dog model. Watch for clutter or busy blankets. Floor shots aren't always great if they catch the wall and the floor.
  • Remember the theme of this site: Activity, travel, outdoors, play. We favor these types of pictures especially ones that show any of the products we sell.
  • It's usually a good idea to get all of your pet in the picture unless you have a nifty close up of your dog in booties.
  • Check for eyeshine. A good editing program can eliminate it.
  • We love photos taken outdoors. These are more natural and put your pet in the best light.
  • Get up close to your pet. Try taking the photo at his or her level.
  • Oh, and did we mention that we favor pics of dogs with our products and outdoor shots? Both Chingy and Peri were featured in our dog carriers, but we would also love pics of your pets in clothing, costume or close up of dog collars.
  • Watch the edges of your picture...is your pet centered? Did you cut off the sofa or the edge of the item your pet is pictured with?
  • Does the shot show your pet engaging with the product or is Fido just sitting there looking terrified?
  • As much as we love pet owners, you may want to take yourself out of the picture. A Super Dog Model....is a Super Dog Model.
  • Include a little bio about your pet such as the breed, his or her name, and anything else you think we might like to know.
  • Email Us your digital photo with "Dog Model" or "Pet Model" in the header. We would LOVE pictures of cats too.
