What Pet as Human does
An orange cat sits still on a couch, then a shimmer of light sweeps the frame. When it fades, a smiling person sits in the same spot, with matching hair color and a sweater that echoes the pet's fur.
See your pet as a person
Your pet transforms into an adult person with hair the color of its fur and a sweater matching its markings. Clear pet photos work best.
Still unmistakably your pet
The video opens on your exact photo, so your pet’s fur, markings and surroundings carry through the whole effect.
