📸 HOW TO TAKE A GOOD PHOTO AND VIDEOS OF AN ANIMAL
🧼 1. PREPARATION – VERY IMPORTANT
➡️ Animal must be washed, brushed, dry, and clean
➡️ Best time: after grooming or before/after a vet visit
➡️ Remove dirt from eyes, nose, and fur
🐾 2. KEEP THE ANIMAL CALM
➡️ Choose a quiet moment
➡️ Let the animal relax first
➡️ Stay patient – don’t rush
🌿 3. CHOOSE A CLEAN BACKGROUND
➡️ Use grass, neutral walls, or nature
➡️ Remove clutter (buckets, rubbish, cages)
➡️ Area must look clean and tidy
☀️ 4. TIMING
➡️ Best: combine with the day of a vet visit
➡️ Avoid harsh midday sun if possible – however you can use AI to clean up photos

📐 5. GET TO THE ANIMAL’S LEVEL
➡️ Take photos at eye level
➡️ Focus on the face and eyes
🎯 6. KEEP THE ANIMAL IN FOCUS
➡️ Tap on the animal on your phone screen
➡️ Eyes must be sharp and clear
📷 7. TAKE MULTIPLE PHOTOS
➡️ Take 10–20 photos
➡️ Choose the best later
🐶 8. TAKE DIFFERENT PHOTO TYPES (MINIMUM 3)
➡️ Photo of the animal on someone’s arm
➡️ Photo of the animal on the ground
➡️ Photo of the animal sitting nicely
➡️ Photo and video of the animal playing or moving
🍖 9. GET ATTENTION
➡️ Use a treat or sound
➡️ Try to get the animal to look at the camera
📲 10. SEND PHOTOS & VIDEOS TO OWNER (IMPORTANT)
➡️ Send photos via WhatsApp
➡️ You can use the free WiFi
➡️ Send separate messages for each pet
➡️ Clearly label each message (e.g. “Puppy 1 – Male”)
