National Pet Day Portrait Made From Your Photo
National Pet Day is a fixed date each year for celebrating the dog or cat who does not get a special occasion of their own, marked with a portrait made from your photo.

A National Pet Day Portrait from Pet on Canvas is custom made from your photo and starts at $24.99 for a high-resolution digital portrait; gallery-wrapped Custom Canvases start at $49.99 and include the digital file. A digital proof arrives in 2-3 business days, or 1-2 days with the $10 expedited option, and unlimited revisions are included before you approve anything.

Why choose a custom pet portrait for national pet day portrait?
A once-a-year excuse to do something for the pet who is part of the family every other day too.
National Pet Day lands on the same date every year, April 11th, which makes it one of the easier occasions to plan around if you decide early. It is less a gift-giving holiday than a reason, a fixed date to finally get around to the portrait you have been meaning to order.
For a canvas by April 11th, order at least ten business days ahead: 2-3 for the proof, then about 6-7 more business days for U.S. production and delivery once approved. If the date sneaks up on you, the digital portrait is the fallback, needing only 2-3 business days for the proof, or 1-2 with the $10 expedited option, delivered by email as soon as you approve it.

Frequently Asked Questions About National Pet Day Portrait
When exactly is National Pet Day, and how early should I order?
National Pet Day falls on April 11th every year. For a canvas by then, order at least ten business days ahead: 2-3 business days for the proof, then roughly 6-7 more for U.S. production and delivery once approved. If you are closer to the date than that, a digital portrait is the safer choice.
Is this a gift for myself or for someone else's pet?
Both, and either is common. Plenty of people order a portrait of their own pet as a small yearly tradition, and just as many use the date as a nudge to finally get one made for a friend or family member's dog or cat.
Which style works best for a celebration piece?
Pop art suits the celebratory spirit of the day, bold and a little playful. Watercolor and oil painting both work well too if you would rather have something that reads as a quieter, more permanent piece of art than a one-day tribute.
