Custom Dog Gifts
Custom Dog Mugs
A custom dog mug printed from your own photo. Upload the picture, we cut your dog out of the background, lay him into the mug design and print it. A name can be added. This is the gift for the person who would rather look at their dog than at whatever is printed on their current mug — and we check the photo before printing it.
Also searched as personalized dog mug, custom pet mug, pet mugs, personalized pet mugs, or personalized dog mugs — different words for the same photo mug. Some people search for it as a dog on a coffee mug, a coffee mug with dogs, or personalized dog coffee cups.
1. Upload your dog's photo
Pick a product, upload one clear photo of your dog and add a name if you want one. See which photo works best.
2. We check the photo and prepare the artwork
We look at every photo before it goes to print. If it is too small, too dark or too blurry to print well, we email you and ask for another one first.
3. We print and ship
Your product is printed from your photo and shipped with USPS tracking. Production takes 2-3 business days, then 3-5 business days in transit inside the US.

What makes a photo print well
- Good, even light — daylight works best; avoid harsh shadows and backlighting.
- Sharp focus on the face — you should be able to see individual fur detail.
- The whole head in frame — ears, top of the head and chin, nothing cropped off.
- The biggest version of the file you have — send the original, not a screenshot or a photo re-saved from a chat app.
- One dog per photo, unless the product has a multi-dog option.
- You own the photo, or you have permission to use it.
If the photo you upload will not print well, we email you before printing and ask for a different one. Full photo guide.

Custom Dog Mugs: common questions
What kind of photo works on a mug?
A clear, well-lit photo where the face is in focus. The print wraps a curved surface, so a face that reads at a glance works better than a busy scene with the dog somewhere in the middle.
Does the original background get printed?
No. Your dog is cut out and placed into the mug design.
Can I put a name on it?
Yes, a name is optional and prints exactly as you type it.
Will I see it before it is printed?
No — there is no proof stage. We check every photo before it goes to print and email you for a better one if yours will not work.
Can I get more than one dog on a single mug?
On mugs with a multi-dog option, yes. Upload one photo per dog.
Can I order the same design on something else?
Yes. The same photo can be used for other MyDogPics products — a blanket, an ornament, a portrait — ordered separately.
