Then **Share**. ## Getting good pet photos and clips Pets are the hardest people to direct, so a little planning helps: * **Get down to their level.** Photos from dog height look far better than from above. * **Use treats for attention.** Hold one just above the phone to get them looking into the camera. * **Film in short bursts.** Five-second clips of a head tilt or a happy spin are the gold. * **Mine the archive.** Puppy photos next to recent ones make a lovely “then and now”. ## Happy birthday, cat Cats get a page to themselves: [happy birthday cat](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-cat) has drier lines to match their attitude and a square GIF that opens with their name. Many rescue pets don’t have a known birthday, so families celebrate the day they came home instead. Write “Happy gotcha day” in **Message** and add the photo from the first day. ## The office dog and the class pet A birthday video for a workplace dog is a gentle way to cheer up a team; the [coworker page](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-coworker) covers collecting clips from colleagues, and a card for the [boss’s dog](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-boss) has been known to work wonders. Schools with a class pet can make one with the children, following the photo advice on the [teacher page](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-teacher). ## Dog birthday videos: questions ### How do I make a happy birthday GIF of my dog? Choose a pet template, type their name, add a photo or a short clip and press **Export video**, then choose **GIF**. It loops on its own in any chat. ### Can I use video clips of my dog? Yes. **Add photos and clips** takes short clips as well as photos, so the zoomies can go in. ### Can I make one for my cat? Yes. The pet templates suit cats too; the [happy birthday cat](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-cat) page has lines written for them. ### What about a pet’s gotcha day? Same templates: write “Happy gotcha day” in **Message** instead of happy birthday. ### Is it free? Yes. No account, no watermark, and your photos are never uploaded. ## Birthday videos for other people * [ Birthday video maker Start from an animated template, add their name, photos and a song. ](https://birthday.video/) * [ Funny happy birthday GIFs and videos Meme captions, a fake age and their worst photo, as a GIF or a video. ](https://birthday.video/funny-happy-birthday) * [ Happy birthday GIF maker Animated cake, balloons or confetti that loop, with their name on. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-gif) * [ Happy birthday coworker (colleague) wishes Office-safe lines and a team-signed video for a colleague. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-coworker) * [ Happy birthday teacher wishes and class video Lines from the class and a video organised by one parent. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-teacher) * [ Birthday video ideas Twenty-four ideas, quick and ambitious, each with where to start. ](https://birthday.video/birthday-video-ideas) * [ Birthday video templates Every template in the editor, by occasion, with the formats it suits. ](https://birthday.video/birthday-video-templates)
