It Starts with Your Photos
Your photos are used to create a custom X-ray of your dog.
Your Art is Sent to Your Inbox
X-ray My Dog is a digital product. Files are sent to your email for feedback.
Add-ons Optional
From physical prints to stickers and blankets, you can choose how you want to see your art used.
How it works
1. Upload Your Photos + Info
At checkout, you’ll be asked to upload clear reference photos of your dog and fill out a short form with key details. This helps me bring your pup’s anatomy to life.
2. Approve Your Draft
You’ll receive a digital preview of your artwork. This is your chance to request edits and get creative with your poster. All communication will be through email.
3. Receive Final Files
Once your artwork is approved, you’ll get a set of high-resolution digital files delivered straight to your inbox (via DROPBOX) — including posters, wallpapers, and transparent PNG files perfect for merch.
4. Order Your Add-Ons
Want to bring your dog’s design into the physical world? Add-ons like stickers, prints, acrylics and blankets are available exclusively to commission customers — and they ship FREE within Canada and the continental U.S.
FAQs
About the process
What kind of photo should I send?
Ideally, a side-view photo where I can see your dog’s full structure — legs, spine, tail, and all. Standing is best, but I'll take what you have. Upload up to four images at checkout, and I’ll choose the one that gives me the clearest view of their build. You can learn more about the process, including what makes a great photo, HERE.
What if I don't have a great side image?
Send what you have! Consider taking a quick pic on your phone. Everything helps.
I can piece together something from your photos and even come up with a custom pose. It'll still be created in your pup's bony image!
Can I request a custom pose?
Yes, once I have a good side profile, I can redraw your dog in a custom pose — play bow, mid-stride, jumping, you name it.
Just know this takes significantly more time (I’m basically creating them twice), so it will take longer to finish your commission
Does my package include revisions?
YES — your package includes alterations like pose changes, anatomy tweaks, or layout refinements.
How will I get the files?
All communication happens by email.
PLEASE make sure to check your spam and/or promotions tab. All emails will come from:
shelley@barkandbone.ca
Drafts and final artwork are delivered through a Dropbox link — no login required. You’ll receive:
- Light and dark versions of your poster (high-res PNG)
- A transparent PNG for stickers or personal printing
- A DIY guide to printing your art
Will anything be shipped to me?
Nope. This is a digital-only product.
The mockups you see on the site (prints, stickers, blankets) are examples featuring my bridge Greyhound, Scotty. He makes a great model, but nothing physical will be mailed.
If you'd like physical items, we have a great lineup of add-ons (from stickers to acrylic prints) for you to enhance your order!
How long does it take?
Turnaround is typically 2–4 weeks, depending on how many commissions I’m working on at once.
There’s no cap on spots right now, but I will close commissions once my queue fills up. If you’re thinking about it, best not to wait too long.
It's just a digital file. Why is it $169.99?
(1) This isn't just a file.
This is the file. The one you’ll turn into whatever you want.
A framed piece. A tattoo stencil. A sticker set. A hoodie. Whatever your wee heart desires.
You’re not buying a product — you’re buying the foundation for every product.
And the personal use license to do so. As many times as you want.
(2) This isn’t a cute pet portrait. It’s a hand-created, bone-deep tribute to your dog’s structure — made from the inside out.
There's no AI here—just the work of one anatomy nerd. The price also reflects the amount of time it takes to render your dog to your wishes and format all the files.
(3) And most importantly? You're getting something that looks nothing like what everyone else is selling.
You can worship your favorite breed's bones on just about anything you can dream up, and in a way that also satisfies that weird anatomy obsession of yours.
This is art you can use. That lives with you. That doesn't rely on crowns, flower wreaths, or soft-focus filters to say something meaningful.
About your dog(s)
Can I add a second dog?
Yes. Simply select "2 Dogs."
Remember:
Adding a second or third dog to your commission is totally possible, but it’s a bigger project that requires double the bone work. Please expect a longer wait time to receive your files.
You'll receive poster and PNG files for each dog.
I'm ordering commissions for 2 dogs. Can I combine them in the same poster?
That depends.
For a FULL custom, YES. We can collaborate on how you'd like to position your dogs and the kind of look you're after.
For the LITE version NO. You'll receive 2 separate packages for each dog. This is because re-imagining a poster meant for a single dog requires extra time and consideration.
What if I have 3 (or more) dogs?
Contact me before you order:
shelley@barkandbone.ca and we'll work out the specifics!
What about my mixed-breed dog? I only see purebred dogs on your site.
You're in luck!
I'm working from your photo(s). So long as you have a decent side view, send it! I can capture you're mixed pups in all their skeletal glory!
What's next?
Can I order a print or a sticker of my commission?
Absolutely! If you'd rather not have to deal with any DIY hijinks, check out our Add-ons page!
Please note that we ONLY ship add-ons to Canada and the continental U.S. at this time.
Can I use the art commercially?
No.
This commission includes a personal-use license only. You’re welcome to print your artwork as a poster, a sticker, a mug, a tattoo — whatever makes your weird little heart happy.
But you may not sell or reproduce it on products for commercial gain, branding, or resale.
Let customers speak for us
I bought the Border Collie stickers specifically to put on my hard hat. But given I own the BC's, Malinois and also German Shepherds, I'll be back for more. Great take on the breeds and 'strong enough' a sticker to put on my pink hard hat at work which if you work blue collar, you understand.
Love the stickers so much. Showshe just how beautiful my boy is inside and out! Really nice product. High quality!
I truly cannot get enough of this art style, being a giant science nerd and dog fancier. I’ve been pretty stingy with using them so far, but one sticker is on my work laptop, and it still looks great after daily use.
Great quality - definitely ordering more!
Everything I ordered is beautifully made and high quality. I have gotten many compliments on the stickers which I put on my water bottle and vehicle.
the product is beautiful and great quality! When my delivery got caught up in shipping/transport, the company was incredibly communicative and pleasant! will definitely order again in the future!
So happy with my art! Shelley was responsive to my questions, was happy to make the changes I asked for, and delivered exactly what I was hoping for. I am excited to use the art I got to print on banners and stickers to bring to competitions with me. We'll be the coolest tent on the block! Thanks Shelley! I'll be buying more art for sure!
Absolutely obsessed with the outcome just a few minor customizations can make for this package. Shelley works lightning fast, and the novelty of this art concept is one of my new favorite things. I’m excited to display the final image in my home, and one of the stickers is definitely going to be on my work laptop.
The prints look amazing! They were well packaged between thick cardboard, and there was even a handwritten thank you. As this company comes out with more products including these designs I will be sure to purchase them!
If you get the custom x-ray of your dog, you have to get the print too! Amazing quality as always!
Had my custom x-ray of me Dogo Nero dock diving and I can't say enough how amazing it is! You know it's him when you see it. You will not regret getting a custom x-ray of your dog!
Absolutely amazing quality stickers! If your get a commission piece done these are a must have!
Excellent art, and awesome service.
Awesome art, great service!
