Short answer
Add one sharp photo of your cat or dog, facing the camera, as the Driver. The pet sits upright in the vehicle, paws on the wheel or by the window, and says the lines with comic mouth movements. Run the free 5-second preview before you spend credits.

Pet photos that work
- Big, sharp face: the pet fills at least a third of the frame.
- A front view: it makes the mouth easier to animate for the lines.
- A stern look helps: a flat stare suits a grumpy driver.
- One animal per photo, with nothing over the face.
Which pets, which vehicle?
Cats and dogs both work, and the vehicle and place options let you put a pet in a tractor, a pickup or a toy car. Small animals far from the lens are harder to read. The pet driver guide has more tips and the photo guide the limits.
Questions people ask
Will my pet really talk?
Its mouth moves in time with generated speech. The movement is invented, so expect a cartoon.
Which pets work best?
Cats and dogs whose faces are clear and look at the camera.
Can a toy be the driver?
Yes. A toy or your own drawing can be the Driver, and it keeps its colours and shape.
