Can You Use Instagram Face Filters On Dogs and Cats?
If you have always wanted to use an Instagram filter on your dog or cat’s face, you are in luck! It is possible to use any one of the Instagram filters on your pets. Whether you have a dog, cat or even a hamster, you will be able to add an Instagram filter to their face. Some filters are harder to use on pets than others. It just depends on which filter you are trying to apply to your cat or dogs face.
Most Instagram Filters change the lighting or change the color of the background. Others actually physically change something about your face. For example, some change the color of your eyes or add moving animated hearts that follow the movement of your face. Any filter that adds an element that follows your face is harder to use on a pet but is still possible. Any filter that just changes the lighting or background color is easy to use on pets.

What started as a funny pair of dog ears superimposed on your face circa 2015 has progressed into a catalogue of huge lips and doll faces that make you look so good youre low-key considering botox.
But problematic filters aside, if theres one we can all get on board with its a filter that makes your dog look like a Disney character.
The filter was first tipped-off by a member of the Dogspotting Society Facebook group, who shared with their fellow pooch-lovers: “For those that dont know… Snapchat has a new filter and it basically Disneyfies your dog. YOU ARE WELCOME. Plz post your Disney dawgs here.”
The poster clarified the filter is called Cartoon Face for those searching, and it simply turns your dog into a doe-eyed character worthy of the magical animations.
The post has since gone viral, wracking up over 15,000 likes and more than 3200 shares, and hundreds of posters sharing photos of their own pets animated-up – and the results are SO good.
As is with any filter, simply find it on Snapchats filter section, find your pooch and point. Enjoy!
It was only in October last year that Snapchat introduced the ability to filter animals faces, such as dogs and cats, which delighted fans of the app.
Previously, the apps filters were only programmed to recognise the human face, which made it really frustrating when you tried to do a face swap with your furry friend.
But now, filters allow pet owners to make their furry friends look even cuter with a unicorn horn, glasses or a flower crown.
You can distinguish which filters are specifically made for your pet by looking for the blue paw icon.
At first, the filters only worked on cats (which infuriated dog people everywhere), but Snapchat has since sorted that out.
