Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about ordering a pet portrait? We've got you covered! Review our handy guide below for our most frequently-asked questions.

Pet Portraits

Yes! We create portraits for unique pets around the world. From cute bunnies to pet birds. Odds are, if it's an animal, we will create a portrait for you. Please note: at this time we do not create portraits of humans (no matter how cute you are!).

Yes. Nothing is printed until you have seen it and said yes.

Your artist finishes the illustration within 12 hours and we email it to you. You can approve it, or reply and tell us what to change — the eyes, the coat, the background, the placement of the name. We would far rather redraw it now than have you open a parcel you do not love.

Please reply within 72 hours. If we do not hear from you we print the artwork as it stands, so your order is not left sitting in the queue. Once approved, it prints and ships within 1-2 business days.

Yes! Many of our portraits are available with one, two or three pets. If you would like more than 3 pets in a single portrait, please reach out to our support team at info@petgoghstore.com and we will help.

PetGogh is honored to create portraits in memory of pets who have passed. We work with customers to find the perfect photo out of the (potentially limited) photo choices you have. Please contact us at info@petgoghstore.com if you have any further questions.

Yes! We are happy to help with changes to your pet portrait order as long as you reach out to info@petgoghstore.com within 30 minutes of your order being placed. After 30 minutes, most changes — including address updates — can no longer be made. Please note that in some cases changes to orders may result in shipping delays.

Yes! We appreciate modern, simple design just as much as you do. If you prefer to have the portrait designed without your pet's name, please write "NO NAME" in the name box.

1.) The photo is taken in a well lit area — ideally without a filter and in natural lighting. 2.) Close up and head on, showing as much of the ears, head, neck and chest as possible. This lets us get a good crop of your pet's face. Photos of your pet laying down are not ideal. 3.) Avoid overhead or blurry photos. Review our Image Guidelines for more information.

Frame moulding size varies from 1" to 1.5" depending on your portrait size.

8x10 in (20.32 x 25.4 cm) — 10x12 in with frame
12x16 in (30.48 x 40.64 cm) — 14x18 in with frame
18x24 in (45.72 x 60.96 cm) — 20x26 in with frame

We offer limited edition backgrounds every season. Once the season has passed, those limited editions will never be available for purchase again. They are truly unique and collectable!

We offer a high quality digital file of your completed artwork as an add-on to any physical product. You will receive your file digitally once your order has shipped. Please note that we currently do not offer Digital Downloads as a standalone product.

Skip the Line is an optional add-on that pushes your custom portrait's artwork to the front of our artists' queue. By moving ahead in the queue, your artwork will be finished and on the way to you quicker than orders without this option. Please note that it does not change the shipping speed or transit time.

Returns

Because every piece is custom made for you and your pet, we are unable to offer returns. Your artwork is designed with care and is personal to the photo you provided.

However, if your order arrived damaged or the artwork is not quite what you were expecting, we will put it right:

Order arrived damaged? Email a photo of the damage to info@petgoghstore.com and we will arrange a replacement.

Artwork not what you hoped for? Email info@petgoghstore.com and our care team will follow up. We offer a personal satisfaction guarantee for up to 60 days after your order is placed.

We review these every day, so there is no need to email twice.

Shipping

Your order spends time in two places, and it helps to see them separately.

Making your portrait: 3-5 business days. An artist puts your portrait together by hand and emails you the artwork within 12 hours. Once you approve it, it prints and ships within 1-2 business days. How fast you reply is the one part of this we do not control.

Then in transit:

United States: 3-5 business days
Canada, UK, Australia & New Zealand: 5-7 business days
Europe: 5-10 business days
Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, Israel & UAE: 10-15 business days

The delivery estimate shown at checkout is the one to go by. In November and December couriers are slower everywhere, so allow up to a week more. All packages ship with tracking.

United States: a $10 flat rate under $100, and FREE shipping on orders over $100.

Everywhere else we ship: a $10 flat rate, whatever your order comes to. Free shipping is a US offer — international postage costs us the same on a large order as a small one.

See our shipping guide for the full details.

Due to the custom nature of our portrait products, we begin work on each order promptly after it is placed. To cancel an order you must email info@petgoghstore.com within 30 minutes of your order being placed and we will process a refund at our discretion. After 30 minutes it is not possible to cancel your order.

While we always strive to deliver your items together, occasionally one item in your order will be completed ahead of the others and shipped out first. For example, if you order a framed portrait and a phone case, the phone case may arrive separately.

Your feedback means a great deal to us. Open the product you ordered, scroll to the reviews at the bottom of the page and click Write a review. You can read what other pet parents have said on our reviews page.

Still need help?

Please note, we are unable to make any order changes — including cancellations, photo swaps and size upgrades — more than 30 minutes after your order is placed.

Order arrived damaged, or the artwork is not what you hoped for? Email info@petgoghstore.com with your order number and, for damage, a photo. We will reproduce or redesign it under our Satisfaction Guarantee.

We review these every day, so there is no need to email twice.
