Pooch in the pearl earring - personalised pet portrait recommendations

Not quite sure how to describe it in the title 🤦‍♀️. But I’m looking for recommendations of personalised pet portraits that look good but are a reasonable price. Thinking along the lines of your dogs face but dressed as a queen/colonel…. If anyone has ever had their horse done in one of these I’d be interested to know if it worked. Thanks

WTF!!
I think this is the first time I have sworn on MN.
You cannot be serious.

Oh goodness what about it has made you swear 😆. It’s not actually cutting their heads off or anything. I’ll add an example photo and then hide just in case it instigates anymore expletives 🙈

Is THAT how you’d want to remember a beloved pet??
It’s really cringey.

Maybe 🤷‍♀️. Said pet isn’t dead. I thought it’d be a nice gift for my ds(16) who has a learning disability and is obsessed with his horse. Thought it would be cute and funny. No one else on my wavelength??!! Might have to do my own research 😆

Hey OP. I love these and have two canvases - one of each of my pets. I love them, they make me smile when I see them. I say go for it. I don’t have a horse but they’re good quality and a little bit different.

MauriceTheMussel · 10/11/2025 19:33

I think this is hysterical. I would do one for my pooch

Enko · 10/11/2025 19:43

I was about to suggest this to dh for dd3 (22) she would love it. So following hoping someone knows a goood place

😳😳😳 I’m almost afraid to admit I got one done for my sister for my sister for Christmas 2020! I used an American company and they were an absolute nightmare so I couldn’t recommend them. She seemed to like it but now I’m wondering if she actually did 😂. What’s more it arrived weeks after Christmas so she was probably expecting something fabulous!!

Ahh I love it and would have done even weeks after Christmas but then again the first replies to this thread are reminding me that we don’t always think the same 😆

So funny, I thought they were hilarious when I saw them. I also think a horse would look great 😂. These are the crowd I used, I suppose we got there in the end albeit a bit late! They are still in business anyway -

You’ll probably find somewhere closer to home.

I’m all for photos of pets, every surface and wall in my house is covered in photos of cats, dogs and ponies, just not in human clothing!

I hope you and your son love whatever you decide to go for, and I’m sorry for coming across so rudely.

No worries 😁. I wouldn’t like them if the pets were actually having to wear clothes

We have some of our dog done and they are brilliant. We used Paw And Glory - think there is a Black Friday sale on at the moment.

Don't pay a company, you can do it for free!

Most of these companies are just using an AI tool (like ChatGTP) to generate the images. Then charging you crazy amounts.

You can go to the ChatGPT website, upload the photo you'd like the image to be based on, then add prompts, like, make the horse an army colonel etc.

See attached examples i created.

I had ds's dog done as a birthday present
I used purr and mutt-cannot recommended them enough and he loved it
I think he asked for his dig to be a king
Not my taste but we are all different
I think it cost me about £20

AnyQuestions101 · 11/11/2025 11:55

A relative had one done for our cat, I think it’s a sweet gift

I used Purr and Mutt for a Christmas present, really happy with the service and the result!

Each to their own but I think they’re funny 😆
