Pet portrait gift ideas for dog and cat lovers
The easiest way to delight a dog or cat lover is a gift about their own pet. You need one good photo, which you can usually find on their social media or ask a friend for. Here are ideas at every budget, with how to make each one.
A royal portrait of their pet
Their dog or cat painted as a monarch, a general or a noble, in full resolution and ready to print.
How to do it: Find a clear photo of the pet, paint it on Regalia and send the file or have it printed and framed. Paint a pet portrait
A framed print for their wall
A portrait looks its best printed on good paper in a simple frame.
How to do it: Order the print from a local print shop or online; allow a few days for delivery.
A portrait that moves
A 5-second animated version of the portrait to send on the day, alongside the printed one.
How to do it: On Regalia, an animated portrait costs 5 credits.
A custom pet mug or phone case
Everyday things with their pet on them get used every day.
How to do it: Most print-on-demand shops accept a high-resolution image.
A pet-friendly day out
A trip to a dog-friendly beach, trail or café with a treat at the end.
How to do it: Plan the route in advance and check the pet rules.
A donation in their pet's name
A gift to a local shelter in their pet's name, with a card.
How to do it: Many shelters send a thank-you card you can pass on.
Two pets, one portrait
If they have two pets, paint them together side by side.
How to do it: Use two photos taken in similar light.
Your pet, painted as royalty. Pick a title, add one photo and get a fine-art portrait in full resolution.
