Corgi in a Santa hat and fur-trimmed red coat sitting in the snow on a Christmas village street lit with fairy lights — Santa pet portrait

For the dog lover

Santa Paws dresses their dog as Santa Claus: a red velvet hat and coat with white fur trim, in gently falling snow. Behind it, one of three Christmas scenes is picked automatically for each photo. For something that is not only for Christmas, Regal General shows the dog in a 19th-century military dress uniform, in the style of an oil portrait.

For the cat person

Royal Renaissance shows their cat as a 16th-century noble in the style of an oil court portrait, in one of four court costumes of velvet or silk, picked automatically for each photo. For a Christmas look, Nutcracker dresses the cat as a toy soldier in a red jacket and a tall black hat, beneath a sparkling Christmas tree.

For someone who wants something for the wall

Classic Oil Painting shows their pet as itself, with no costume, in the style of a traditional oil painting: thick brushstrokes and warm glazes on a muted backdrop. It is a digital download, not a print: once you have paid, you may have it printed for personal use at any photo lab or online print service, on paper or canvas, and framed. Before you pay, you see the largest standard print size the file fills sharply, if any.

For the Christmas-card sender

Holiday Sweater puts their pet in hand-knitted winter knitwear by soft firelight, with one of three sweaters picked automatically for each photo. Once you have paid, you may print the portrait on your own Christmas cards, for personal use. The Collection also includes a greeting card made from a portrait, in a Classic or Holiday red design, to print or send as an e-card.

For a household with several pets

Portraits are made for one pet, and photos with several pets work less well. Upload a photo of each pet and make a portrait of each; choosing the same style for all of them gives you a matching set.

For last-minute shoppers

Nothing is shipped: the portrait is a digital download, ready as soon as you pay, so even an order on Christmas Eve is on time. The Collection also includes phone wallpapers, so their pet can be on their lock screen the same day.

Getting a photo without spoiling the surprise

One clear photo of one pet is enough, with its face visible and in good light. Use a photo they have sent you or one you took yourself. Avoid blurry photos, pets far away, several pets in one shot and heavy filters.

When to order

There is no shipping cut-off, so you can order as late as Christmas Eve. Your download link stays valid for 30 days after you buy, and the files are deleted after that, so if you buy early, download the portrait and keep a copy before then.
