Make my wall artHow we compared
- We read each company’s own website on October 15, 2026: its product pages, its help pages and its shipping and returns policies.
- Prices are in US dollars as each company lists them for one pet, before tax and shipping, and we say when a price is shown as a sale.
- Every comparison says where the other company does well and who should choose it. We do not repeat complaints or say anything we could not check on their website.
- We make the calendar on the right of every table, so read us knowing that, and check with each company before you buy.
Questions about choosing pet art
What is the best custom pet portrait company?
It depends on what you want on your wall. For one portrait in a costume or a theme, Crown & Paw, Purr & Mutt, West & Willow and Pop Your Pup each have a look of their own, designed by their artists from your photo. If you would like more than one picture of your pet, our calendar paints them 14 times from your photos, a cover, every month and a birthday picture, and we make single paintings as wall art too.
Which companies make a calendar of my own pet?
Photo calendar companies such as Shutterfly, Mixbook, Zazzle and PetCalendar.com print your own photos into a calendar you design. We paint your pet into a new seasonal scene for every month, so there is nothing to design, no photoshoot, and one clear photo of each pet is enough rather than twelve or more.
Is a portrait or a calendar the better gift?
A portrait is one picture to hang for good. A calendar is a new picture every month for a year, plus a birthday painting for each pet, and it comes back out of its envelope every month. With us you can have both: any painting can also be ordered as wall art.
