About Pawprintify
We make the products. You and your pet make the moments.
We're four founders. A teacher, two designers, and a watercolor artist. But before any of that, we're pet parents, just like you.
It started with loss. After my dog passed away, I did what a lot of us do: I tried to hold on. I found a custom pet portrait service online, placed an order, and waited. What arrived barely looked like her. The eyes were wrong. The fur wasn't right. When I asked for a revision, they weren't interested.
So I called my friend, a painter and also a dog parent, and asked if she could try. She did. And somehow, she gave my dog back to me.
That moment is why we exist.
At Pawprintify, we understand the unbreakable bond between pet parents and their animals. Whether you're commemorating a pet you've lost, celebrating one you can't imagine life without, or simply want their face on something beautiful in your home, we get it, because we've lived it.
We've learned to see the way a dog smiles with the corners of their mouth. The way a cat holds their gaze. The slight curl of a lip, the depth behind two very different-colored eyes. Every order has taught us something, and that curiosity about the animals we paint has never left us.
What makes a great pet portrait
A great pet portrait isn't just a drawing. Get any one of these pieces wrong, and you've just got an image. Get them all right, and you've got something truly yours.
Illustrators Who Look Closely
The corners of a smile. The curl of a lip. We paint personality, not just fur color, because that's what makes the portrait feel like them.
Designers Who Get The Detail
Every illustration is composed by a graphic designer so it works at the scale and surface you chose. A canvas, a blanket, a tee — each one is its own craft.
Materials Worth The Bond
Framed canvas, fleece and sherpa throws, soft cotton tees. We've sourced every material we sell so the finished piece feels worthy of the pet on it.
Tell us about your pet — get a free portrait
We're collecting 100 stories from pet parents like you. Share the bond you have with your animal — the small things, the everyday moments, the loss or the love — and we'll select the most meaningful ones to receive a free custom portrait. It's our way of honoring the relationships that remind us why we started this in the first place.
Share your story →Our team is small on purpose. Four people who care deeply, built around one idea: that your pet deserves to be remembered or celebrated exactly as they are. The size of their ears. The texture of their coat. The way they curl up next to you on the couch and look at you like you're their whole world.
