A custom pet portrait is more than a picture—it’s a story about love and companionship. Whether your pet is a playful puppy or a wise old cat, the right portrait captures their personality forever.
But with so many styles and materials available, how do you choose the one that truly fits your furry friend and your home? Let’s go step by step.
1. Decide on the Art Style
When it comes to custom pet portraits, there are three main styles:
Oil Style – Rich in texture and detail, perfect for pets with expressive fur and soulful eyes. It gives a classic, timeless look—ideal for living rooms and study walls.
Watercolor Style – Soft, warm tones with a gentle charm. Perfect for smaller pets or a bright, cozy home aesthetic.
Line Art Style – Minimal and modern. Clean black or colored lines capture your pet’s essence in a sleek, contemporary way. Perfect for apartments or Nordic-style interiors.
2. Choose the Right Size
Size determines the impact of your artwork:
- 8×10 in (20×25 cm): Small and intimate, perfect for desks or bedside tables.
- 12×16 in (30×40 cm): The most balanced choice—fits any wall.
- 16×20 in (40×50 cm): Large and expressive, great for living rooms or offices.
Tip: measure your wall space before ordering to make sure the portrait feels balanced in its surroundings.
3. Pick the Best Photo
The magic of a perfect portrait starts with the right photo.
Here’s what works best:
- Good lighting—natural daylight is ideal.
- Sharp focus on your pet’s face and eyes.
- A relaxed, natural pose (avoid far-away or blurry shots).
- Send a few options; the artist can help choose the best one.
4. Select the Material and Finish
At WVPET, we offer two professional finishes:
- Canvas Print: Matte, durable, and ready to hang.
- Premium Poster Paper: Lightweight and easy to frame—great as a gift.
Optional framing (black, walnut, or white) adds polish and convenience.
5. Review the Proof Before Printing

You’ll receive a preview to confirm the likeness, colors, and layout before production begins.
This ensures your artwork is exactly how you imagined it—no surprises on arrival.
6. Shipping & Packaging
