Taking a picture of your pet can be difficult. Here are a few tricks and ideas on how to get the best shot of your furry friend.

1. Be prepared and patient. It might be hard at first, but keep persevering. The good thing about digital cameras is that you can take several shots, and the more you take, the more you’ll be able to choose from later. Bring treats and toys to help get your pet’s attention.

2. Take the shot from their eye level. You might have to sit or lie down to take the photo from their eye level, but the beautiful photos you’ll get will be worth it.

3. Let them be the center of attention. Photos look better when they are filled with only your pet. Get close to your dog or cat, or use the zoom function on your camera to let them fill the frame.

4. Minimize red eye. I always have this problem when photographing my bunny or my dog. To prevent red eye from happening, use natural light or turn off the flash function on your camera.

5. For more information, check out, “Learn How to Take Great Photos of Your Dog” by Sarah Dawn. For a video on how to get them in the right position see, “How to Take Your Dog’s Picture” by Eric Letendre.

After you’ve got the best shot, show it off with one of these adorable Photo Dog Announcements from Tiny Prints.

This will either sound outrageous to you or normal cause you’ve done it before. Have you ever celebrated your pet’s birthday? Because there are a number of Doggy Bakeries popping up everywhere with birthday cakes made especially for your pooch, I wasn’t too surprised when I also found a lot of websites devoted to helping make your pet’s day special too. Nor was I shocked to hear that there was about 700,000 pets in the US lucky enough to have owners help them celebrate their birthday.

While I’ll embarrassingly admit that I don’t know the exact date of my dog’s birthday, I do know that she is turning 13 this year. No small feat for a dog. If you have a good dog like mine, you’ll want to celebrate another year with them as well. I found this cute Pet Announcement on Tiny Prints. I edited the text and made them into adorable pet party invites for friends and family.
