Animal Checks, from Wildlife to Your Own Pet
Animal checks cover just about every creature you can think of, dogs and cats, horses, birds, wolves, dolphins, butterflies, farm animals, and wildlife scenes. They are one of the most popular check themes overall, because almost everyone has an animal they love. Whether you want a majestic eagle or a goofy golden retriever, there is a design for it.
And if you want your own pet on your checks, photo checks let you upload a photo and build a custom design around your actual animal.
Ready-made animal designs: our wildlife checks guide covers wolves, owls, deer, elk and sea life, and our cute checks guide covers teddy bears, puppies, kittens and Precious Moments, with Checks Unlimited prices checked October 20, 2026.
Dog breed designs: see our Dalmatian checks and Corgi checks pages, or browse every breed in our dog checks guide.
Hunting and conservation designs: our Ducks Unlimited checks guide covers the licensed Ducks Unlimited design plus Buckmasters, Mossy Oak and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation checks.
Designing an animal check
A single clear, well-lit animal photo reads best on a check. Landscape orientation fits the layout, and a simple background keeps the focus on the animal. A free online editor can help you crop and brighten before uploading.
