Pop Your Pup or My Dog Calendar: which is right for you?
What Pop Your Pup makes
Pop Your Pup has made custom pop art of pets since 2013. You upload a photo and choose a style, from its bright Pop Art to costume portraits and its Super Portrait, and one of its artists makes your portrait using studio painting techniques and its own digital methods. It says every portrait is made by a real artist from start to finish, with no filters and no bots.
You see the artwork before anything is printed and can ask for as many changes as you like; the first proof arrives in 2 to 3 business days, it says. The finished art can go on a poster, a canvas or one of more than 100 products, and if you are not happy before it prints, it offers a full refund.

“I’m am so so pleased with my calendar and I have ordered a second one as a gift. Delivery was quick and the service was second to none. Tilly was at the groomers yesterday so I have added a photo of her ‘normal’ look. I would not hesitate in a recommendation.”

Questions about Pop Your Pup and My Dog Calendar
Does Pop Your Pup make calendars?
No calendar was on Pop Your Pup’s website when we read it on October 15, 2026: it makes pop art portraits for posters, canvases and gifts. A calendar of your own pet, with a different painting for every month, is what we make: a cover, twelve months and a birthday painting for each pet.
Does Pop Your Pup use AI?
No. Pop Your Pup says every portrait is made by a real artist from start to finish, with “No filters. No bots.” Ours are made differently: painted from your photos by Google’s image AI, then checked against your photos, and you can change any picture before we print.
Is Pop Your Pup legit?
Yes. Pop Your Pup is an American company that has made custom pet pop art since 2013, with unlimited revisions and a full refund if you are not happy before your art is printed.
How long does Pop Your Pup take?
Pop Your Pup says the first proof takes 2 to 3 business days, making your order adds 5 to 7 business days and US shipping takes 7 to 10, so US orders average about two weeks. With us, your artwork is painted within 24 hours and most calendars arrive within 5 business days after you approve.
How much does Pop Your Pup cost?
On October 15, 2026, its posters started at $28.99 and its canvas wraps at $89.95, with $8.99 more for two pets and $15.99 more for three or more. Our printed calendar is $52 with shipping included, for 14 paintings of one pet, and our wall art starts at $29.
Which is the better gift, a pop art portrait or a calendar?
A portrait is one picture to hang for good. A calendar from us is a new painting of their pet every month for a year, plus a birthday painting, so it is a gift they enjoy again every month. With us you can also order a single painting for the wall.
