FAQ and Care

Ordering

How does it work?

Order on Etsy and upload your pet’s photo with your order, along with the name, dates and saying you’d like. We design your portrait, engrave it, seal it and ship it to you.

What photo works best?

A clear, well-lit close-up of your pet’s face, square and centred, at the angle you love most.

Is the engraving in colour?

No. Engraving on slate shows in natural shades of grey.

Which pets can you do?

Every kind of companion is welcome. All we need is a clear photo.

Can I see a preview first?

Yes. Choose “Yes” for the preview question when ordering. It adds 1–3 days, depending on how quickly you reply. Our designs are an artistic interpretation of your photo, so small differences are normal. Your text is engraved exactly as written, so please check the spelling.

Pricing

How much are multiples?

The first slate is CA$29.99. Each extra copy of the same design is +$20 per copy, and each extra pet (a new design) is +$25 per pet. For example: 2 of the same pet is $49.99, 3 is $69.99 and 4 is $89.99. Four different pets is $104.99. For larger or event orders, message us for a quote.

Shipping

How long will it take?

Made to order and ready to ship in 3–5 business days (after preview approval, if you asked for one). It ships from Ontario, Canada, with tracking. Need it by a certain date? Message us before ordering.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship within Canada only.

What if it arrives damaged?

Message us through Etsy within 7 days of delivery with photos of the package (with the shipping label visible) and of the slate from several angles. We review every case. Because each piece is custom-made, we can’t accept returns, exchanges or change-of-mind refunds.

Care

How do I clean my slate?

Wipe gently with a damp cloth and water only. Please don’t scrub, and avoid alcohol and harsh cleaners. It isn’t dishwasher safe.

Can it go outside?

Indoors keeps it looking its best the longest. Outdoors, choose somewhere sheltered and out of direct sun, and re-seal now and then with a clear sealant spray. It isn’t strong enough to be stepped on, so place it somewhere secure. Water freezing in cold weather can crack natural stone, which isn’t covered.
