If you’re stuck for a gift for a pet lover, custom pet portraits make the ideal gift. A portrait of a beloved pet can be enjoyed long after the pet’s death and can be a wonderful reminder of happy times. Portraits make great gifts for just about any occasion, including birthday, anniversary, Christmas or of course, national pet day. Although you can have your pet’s portrait painted in person, many companies offer the service by mail. You’ll need to send a clear photo of your pet, and in return will receive a professionally created drawing or painting, ready to frame. Most portraits are of dogs or cats, but if you have a rabbit, hamster, bird or Guinea pig, you can capture their likeness in a portrait. Portrait prices vary, although expect to pay between $50 and several hundred dollars for the service.
