Personalised Pet Portraits

Personalised Pet Portraits

Personalised pet portraits are a thoughtful way to celebrate a much-loved dog, cat, horse or family pet. Simply use a favourite photo and create a custom printed portrait that can be kept, displayed and enjoyed for years.

They make ideal gifts for pet owners, families, friends, dog lovers, cat lovers, horse owners and anyone who wants a personal keepsake featuring their animal companion. Pet portraits are also a meaningful choice for memorial gifts, helping remember a special pet with a printed design made from a favourite image.

Whether you are ordering for yourself or as a gift, a personalised pet portrait is a unique way to turn a favourite pet photo into something more special than a standard print.

Why choose a personalised pet portrait?

A personalised pet portrait is more personal than a standard gift because it is created around a real pet and a meaningful photo. It can celebrate a new puppy or kitten, remember a much-loved animal, or create a fun display piece for the home.

Pet portraits work well as gifts because they are emotional, personal and unique to the person receiving them. They are especially popular for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries and memorial occasions.

What photo should I use?

Choose a clear, high-quality photo of your pet. The best photos usually show the pet’s face clearly, with good lighting and minimal blur.

Good pet portrait photos usually have:

• A clear view of the pet’s face
• Good lighting
• Sharp focus
• Minimal blur
• Enough space around the pet
• Natural expression
• High image resolution
• No heavy filters or screenshots

Avoid very dark, blurry or low-resolution images, as these may affect the finished result.

Dog, cat or horse portraits

Choose a dog portrait for a thoughtful gift for dog owners, puppy owners, rescue dog families or anyone who wants to celebrate their favourite companion.

Choose a cat portrait for cat lovers, kitten owners or families who want a personalised print of their favourite feline.

Choose a horse portrait for horse owners, riders, equestrian gifts and stable memories.

Choose a pet memorial portrait if you want a respectful keepsake to remember a much-loved pet.

HOW TO ORDER

1. Choose your portrait

Select your preferred size, print or framed option, frame colour and personalisation.

2. Send us your photograph

Upload your favourite pet photo with your order. Clear, well-lit photographs give us the best results.

3. We create your portrait

We’ll transform your photograph into your personalised watercolour-style artwork and send you a digital proof to review before we print it.

4. Approve & enjoy

Once you’re happy with your proof, we’ll print your portrait and, if selected, mount and frame it before carefully packaging it for delivery.

PRINT SIZES

Our unframed portraits are available in:

A5 – 148 × 210mm

A4 – 210 × 297mm

A3 – 297 × 420mm

Your portrait is professionally printed on high-quality 170gsm satin paper, chosen to give excellent colour reproduction, crisp detail and a smooth premium finish that complements the watercolour artwork.

FRAMED PORTRAITS

For an extra-special finish, choose one of our mounted framed options.

Your portrait is presented behind a white aperture mount, creating a clean, gallery-style border around your artwork.

Choose from:

• A4 Frame – with A5 portrait
• A3 Frame – with A4 portrait
• A2 Frame – with A3 portrait

Frame colours available:

• Black
• Oak effect

Our frames use a clear polystyrene glazing panel rather than traditional glass. This gives you the appearance and protection of a glazed frame while making it lighter, safer and more practical for delivery and displaying in your home.

The lightweight glazing means:

• Less risk of breakage or damage during transit
• Lighter and easier to hang on the wall
• No shattered glass if accidentally dropped
• Helps protect your portrait from dust and everyday handling
• Particularly practical for our larger A2 framed portraits

NOT JUST DOGS!

Although you may see dogs featured in our photographs, we can create portraits from photographs of all kinds of pets and animals.

Dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and other much-loved companions are all welcome.

If you’re unsure whether your photograph will work, simply send it to us through Etsy Messages before ordering. We’ll be happy to take a look and advise you.

YOUR PROOF

We want you to be happy with your portrait before anything is printed.

We’ll send your digital proof through Etsy Messages for you to review. One set of minor amendments is included should you want a small adjustment before approving your artwork.

Please keep an eye on your Etsy Messages after ordering, as we won’t print your portrait until you’ve had the opportunity to review your proof.

PET MEMORIAL PORTRAITS

We understand that sometimes the photograph you’re sending us is of a pet who is no longer with you.

A personalised portrait can be a beautiful way to remember them. You can add their name, dates or a short meaningful message beneath the artwork, or leave the portrait completely unpersonalised.

PACKED WITH CARE

Every physical order is carefully checked before leaving us.

Unframed prints are protected to help prevent bending and damage during transit, while framed portraits are securely packaged to protect the frame, mount and artwork on their journey to you.

Your portrait is created and printed in the UK by our small, established print business.

PHOTO PERMISSION & PRIVACY

By submitting a photograph, you confirm that you own the photograph or have permission from the copyright owner to use it for the creation of your portrait.

We may occasionally love a finished portrait so much that we’d like to feature it in our product examples or social media. We will not use your photograph or finished portrait for promotional purposes without your permission.
