🦔 Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a custom pet portrait take? Most portraits are completed within 2–4 weeks. If you have a gift deadline or special occasion in mind, mention it when booking so your artist can confirm availability.

Can I order a custom pet portrait as a gift? Absolutely — and many PetWorks artists offer gift certificates if you'd prefer to let the recipient choose their own artist and style.

What photos should I provide? Clear, well-lit photos at eye level with your pet facing the camera work best. Providing a few angles gives your artist more to work with. Avoid heavily filtered or low-resolution images.

Can I commission a memorial portrait of a pet who has passed? Yes — as long as you have good quality photos, your artist can create a beautiful tribute to your companion.
