Eyedogise
Iris Photography for Dogs
A Unique Way to Celebrate The Dogs You Love
Eyedogise is the only iris photography service run by a commercial photographer and a veterinary surgeon. This combination of technical skill, animal understanding, and photographic precision makes us uniquely qualified to capture a dog’s iris safely, calmly and beautifully.
We believe we are the only iris photography business in the world offering this level of expertise.
Eyedogise is designed for people who adore their dogs and want a piece of art that celebrates their personality and the bond you share.
Whether displayed alone or paired with your own iris, the result is a stunning, one‑of‑a‑kind artwork that feels deeply personal.
How Eyedogise Works
Capturing a dog’s iris is different and more challenging than photographing a human eye, which is why we have dedicated Eyedogise events. We can still photograph human eyes at an Eyedogise event, but the day is focused on the best set-up for dogs.
Here is a simple guide to help you assess whether your pet is a suitable candidate.
1. Sit & Stay
Your dog should be able to sit calmly and look at their owner or someone else for a few seconds at a time. Treats or favourite toys help to keep their attention.
2. Holding your dog
If sitting isn’t ideal, they can be gently held in someone’s arms or on a lap, as long as they can still look towards their owner or another loved one.
3. Both Eyes Photographed
We photograph both eyes and choose the best images.
It is rare that we can obtain a picture of the entire iris in a dog, so we usually have to use multiple images and blend them together. This may take some time, so you and your dog must be patient.
4. Camera Familiarisation
Your dog should be comfortable around new people and happy to have a camera brought close to their face.
A great tip: take a few photos at home using your phone with the flash on so they’re used to the light. If you have a proper camera or can create something that looks like one then familiarising your pet to this is ideal.
5. Suitability
Not every dog can be photographed. If your dog is anxious around strangers or gets stressed with the camera flash then they won’t be suitable. Some dogs have excess skin or hair around their eyes.There are many issues that can make iris photography physically impossible and/or unethical in dogs.
Our veterinary team will help assess your dog’s suitability.
We always take time to help your dog settle, but if they show signs of stress or fear, we won’t proceed.
6. Pricing
Dog iris photography takes more time and requires more detailed editing, so the cost is higher than a human iris session. The high-res images will be emailed to you within one week.
The cost to capture a dog's eye is £60 per dog.
This is fully refundable if we are unable to obtain adequate images.
7. Dedicated Calm Space
At Eyedogise events, we use a dedicated gazebo to create a quiet, comfortable environment away from noise and distraction.
We can also photograph the owner's eyes on the same day.
At Eyedolise, we’ve always believed that eyes tell a story.
For many of our customers, their dogs are a big part of that ‘tail’.
Let us tell your story in a truly
unique and stunning way.
