The #1 Mistake People Make Buying Pet Portraits (And How to Fix It)
We see it happen every Christmas.
A thoughtful friend or family member wants to surprise a pet lover with a custom portrait. They scroll through Facebook or Instagram, screenshot a photo of the dog, and send it to us.
The thought is beautiful. But the result?
Often, it's a painting of a photo the owner doesn't actually love. Or worse, a low-quality social media screenshot that results in a blurry print.
The Hard Truth About Custom Art
A custom pet portrait is a collaboration. It captures a specific moment, expression, and soul of the animal. And only the owner knows which photo truly captures that "spark."
When you guess, you risk missing the mark. You risk choosing the photo where the ears look "wrong" or the one where they just don't look like themselves.
Why the Best Gift is the Gift of Choice
This year, swap the "surprise" for something better: Perfection.
Giving an Eterna Portrait Gift Card isn't a cop-out. It's a strategic move to ensure they get the best possible piece of art.
1. They Pick the "Soul" Photo
They know exactly which photo makes them smile every time they see it. By letting them choose, you ensure the final art will be cherished forever.
2. Master Quality Requires Original Files
To get that museum-quality, heirloom finish our customers search for, we need high-resolution original photo files. The owner has these on their phone camera roll. Your Facebook screenshot? It's compressed and pixelated.
3. They Can Customize the Style
Maybe they prefer our Modern Minimalist style over the Classic Oil Painting look. A gift card lets them match the art to their home decor perfectly.
