Pet Portraits

Do you allow edits?

- To preserve the ugly nature of these pet portraits, I don’t allow edits. One exception to this is if I misspelled your pet’s name.

Can I have more than one pet in a portrait?

Yes, I can add as many as five animals per portrait. When placing an order, on the first question of the order form, select the amount that you want on one portrait to make it a group portrait.

How fast is delivery?

By the very next day.

Do you draw just dogs and cats?

No, I can draw any animal you consider a pet, whether it's your pet rock or your pet alligator.

Do you create pet memorials?

Yes, we can also add in special requests such as a small halo and/or wings.

Can I change my order after it’s been placed?

All orders are final once they are placed. It's important to make sure to mention what you want to include in the notes box and to make sure the pet's names are spelled correctly.

Can I receive the portrait without a name?

Yep. Names are optional. The portrait text
also doesn’t have to be your pet’s name. It can be dates, quotes, or your pet’s nickname.

What makes a good photo?

We generally accept any photo as long as the photo isn’t tiny, blurry, or extremely dark/bright. Also we only accept jpeg, png, or any image format. Refrain from sending pet portraits in word documents or pdf files.

What are the dimensions of your digital prints?

Every portrait order will be sent in a jpeg and png file that can print in 8x10in (20.32 x 25.4 cm).

How long does it take to receive the pet portrait?

All orders placed before midnight (CST) will receive their order the by the end of the next day.

What is a digital download and how does it differ from a physical portrait?

A digital download is a high-resolution file of your custom pet portrait that’s delivered to your email — no physical item is shipped. You’ll receive a print-ready image that you can use however you’d like: print it at home, send it to a local print shop, or even turn it into gifts like mugs, cards, or canvases.

Unlike physical portraits, digital downloads give you:

* Instant access once your artwork is complete — no waiting for shipping

* No risk of damage or loss in the mail

* The freedom to print it as many times as you want, in any size or format you prefer

* Cost savings — no shipping fees or handling costs

It’s the most flexible and convenient way to enjoy your custom art — whether you hang it on the wall, frame it, or share it online.

Can I make a tattoo out of my portrait drawing?

Yes.

How do I leave a review?

To leave a review, click here and right underneath the listing, click on the yellow “write review” button on the right.

Can I request both a group portrait and an individual portrait on one order?

Yes you can if you placed two separate orders (one for the individual portraits for each animal and one for group portraits). You can't request individual portraits if you only placed a group portrait order and vice versa.

How do I place an order if I want multiple portraits of my pets but I want them to be separate and not grouped?

When you make your order on the product page, select "One" on the first order question. This means that you want only one pet on one portrait. Finish the rest of the questions in the form and include your photo and add it to your cart. Repeat the same for each pet.

Can I use your drawings commercially?

Yes. Once you place a custom order you can use it for personal use and commercial use.

Do you draw humans?

Not at the moment but custom ugly human portraits are something that will happen in the near future.

Returns & Refunds

Can I return my pet portrait if I’m unhappy with it?

Since it’s a digital download and it’s a custom order, returns are not allowed. If you are not satisfied with your order, we can offer a refund.
