Many of us have experienced the sadness of losing a beloved family pet to illness, accident or old age. It’s hard for someone who hasn’t had a close relationship with an animal to understand what a void the loss of a pet can create. Especially for a single person living alone with a pet or an older person who had come to count on the companionship of a dog or cat the loss can be very hard to accept.
Mourning the loss of a pet can take many forms, from the practical clearing away of bowls, toys and anything that acts as a reminder to very elaborate memorial and burial rituals. Explaining the death of a pet to young children in the family can also be painful.
Whatever customs are followed, it is pretty certain that the one item everyone who has lost a pet would probably agree would be a comforting gesture is making a pet portrait.
Pet portraits from photos are easy to order, inexpensive, and tasteful. Using a favorite photograph of a pet to create an oil or watercolor portrait results in a meaningful reminder of a valuable and beloved companion.

"This portrait of Dakota, my 12-year-old Brittany, was the best present I could have ever imagined. I was going to just have her picture taken at the local pet store but my friends convinced me to hold off - I'm sure glad I did because this oil portrait is so true to life.."
