FAQs

What photo works best?

A clear, well-lit photo where your pet is facing the camera and their face fills most of the frame. Daylight beats flash.

Send whatever you have. If it will not work we will tell you and ask for another before any design work starts.

What size is it, and is it for me or my dog?

It is for you. Our photos star a very patient puppy, but this is a cap for people — with your pet embroidered on the front.

One size, unisex. An adjustable strap at the back fits most adult heads.

Do I see the design before I pay?

No — you order first, then we draw your pet and email the design to you, usually within two working days.

Nothing is embroidered until you approve it, and changes are free until you are happy.

Can you embroider any breed?

Yes — dogs, cats and most other pets. Your design is drawn from your photo, so the breed, colouring and main markings come through.

Very fine detail is simplified. The embroidery is about 5 cm across on a cap, so we aim for a clear, recognisable likeness rather than a photograph.

What if the artwork does not look like my pet?

Tell us and we will change it. Nothing is stitched until you approve the design, and revisions are free.

Can I put more than one pet on it?

On a cap, one pet works best. The embroidered area is only about 5 cm across, and two faces at that size lose the detail that makes them recognisable.

If you would like two, email hello@eragoya.com before ordering and we will tell you honestly whether it will work.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash cold with a little mild detergent, reshape it and let it air dry.

Do not machine wash or tumble dry — it pulls the cap out of shape. Never iron directly on the embroidery.

Got this with my puppy embroidered on it and it was the best decision ever. I honestly wasn't sure how much detail would come through in thread but the second I opened the package I could immediately tell it was him. The little face, the coloring and even his expression somehow came through. I've worn it almost every day since. The cap fits comfortably and the embroidery feels like it'll last for years. Already thinking about ordering another one with my other dog.

My dog goes everywhere with us. Hikes, road trips and weekends away. This cap has basically been on every single trip since it arrived. The embroidery still looks perfect, the stitching hasn't loosened at all and the black fabric has held up way better than I expected. I've gotten caught in the rain wearing it twice already and it still looks brand new. Worth every penny.

I was a little nervous ordering something this personalized because you never really know how the photo will translate into embroidery. They absolutely nailed it. My beagle's face is instantly recognizable and the details are way better than I expected. The hat itself is comfortable, adjustable and doesn't feel cheap. Honestly one of the best personalized purchases I've made.

Never thought a hat would make me this happy but here we are. The little embroidered version of my schnauzer is ridiculously cute and somehow looks exactly like him. The stitching around the face is what sold me. They actually captured his eyebrows and beard. Great fit too especially if you like a relaxed everyday cap. This is now basically my weekend uniform.

The custom puppy embroidery seemed like it might be gimmicky but it gets SO much attention. People stop to ask where I got it, friends immediately recognize my dog and everyone smiles. Meanwhile it's actually a really solid cap. Comfortable, easy to adjust and the embroidery feels extremely secure. Sentimental and fun in one.

I ordered this using one of my favorite photos of Rex and I was nervous about how it would turn out. This cap gave me and everyone who knows him the biggest smile. The thread colors make his markings easy to recognize and the stitching is surprisingly detailed. The fit adjusted perfectly even though I usually struggle with caps. Would absolutely order another one.

My boxer has the funniest face and somehow they captured it really well. The embroidery looks great and everyone in my family immediately knew which dog it was. The cap itself feels solid and the stitching hasn't moved at all. Only giving four stars because I personally wish the cap sat a tiny bit deeper on my head. Still really happy with it and I'd order another.

My fluffy girl is basically my entire camera roll so I wanted something that actually felt personal instead of another generic dog item. This custom cap changed everything. The portrait really looks like her and I can wear it everywhere. The photos we got of me wearing it with her? Priceless. Fits perfectly, feels secure and the embroidery still looks crisp after a ton of wear. 10/10 would recommend to every dog mom.

I was honestly worried the embroidery would look nothing like the photo and I froze when it arrived. I finally ordered one and I should have done it sooner. The second I saw the little embroidered face I knew exactly which photo they had worked from. No weird proportions, no random colors. It just looks like her. I genuinely wear it constantly now.

Honestly bought it for the look but kept wearing it because the quality is so good. The little details in the puppy's face are a game changer. You can actually see the different shades in the fur instead of it looking like one flat patch. Quality is way better than I expected for the price.

My golden is probably the most photographed dog on earth so I thought I already had every personalized dog thing possible. Then this arrived. The embroidery actually captures her expression which I did not think was possible with thread. The cap itself is comfortable and the stitching feels extremely sturdy. The portrait alone is worth the price.

I was skeptical at first because I don't usually wear hats. But I barely noticed this on after the first few minutes. The puppy embroidery is just a bonus. The quality is legit. My dog's face came out way more detailed than I expected and the cap doesn't feel stiff or cheap. Worth every penny.
