It’s no secret that Americans love their dogs. Most of us consider their dog a part of the family, and not just a pet. One of the ways we show our love for our family is through portraits. My parents had portraits done of me and my brother and sister when we were small children, and I did a portrait of our son a few years after he was born. These are representations of those we love and whose image makes us happy. So, why shouldn’t we also have portraits done of our dogs? Crown & Paw is the best place to go when you want a beautiful portrait of your beloved dog or dogs. If you have a cat as well, you might well want to include them in the portrait, too. Take some time to browse the Crown & Paw website and you will be amazed at the creative effort that has gone into their line of products.
Custom Portraits
Crown & Paw is the perfect place to order a portrait of your pet, and while we are dealing with dog portraiture here, every pet is welcome, from the smallest gerbil to the biggest horse. The skilled artists at Crown & Paw will work to produce a lovely, lifelike portrait of your dog in a variety of styles. After you submit a photo, staff artists will work to get it that personal touch by blending and re-touching to help assure that your devoted friend looks his or her best. Once the artwork is finished, it will be submitted to you for approval. You can choose a Digital Download or prints available in 8” x10”, all the way up to 32” x 48”, although not all sizes are available in all styles.

If you’re a history buff, you will love Renaissance Portraits. Your dog (or cat) can be depicted as The General, The Princess, The Ambassador, or The Duchess, and even more. Period costumes with your pet’s head placed at the collar make these unforgettable portraits. As with the Modern Pet Portraits, Renaissance Portraits come with a free mug to match the artwork.

Watercolor Portraits are yet another approach to pet portraiture. Rather than using a photo directly, Crown & Paw artists create an original piece of artwork for you. These portraits can help really capture the spirit of your dog. These portraits come framed and ready to hang. Up to six pets are allowed for these posters.

Featuring your dog as your favorite TV show or film is really a fun way to showcase him or her.

Crown & Paw Pet Portraits are a great way to keep our pets always in our lives, and they just look great hanging on the wall or decorating a shelf.

Custom Pet Face Pattern Socks put the face of your pet right on your socks. These socks make great presents, too. Available in 7 colors, you can also choose between Socks or Socks with Black Tip (heel and toe are black). These are one-size-fits-all, and have ribbing from the heel to the top of the sock, which makes for a much more comfortable fit.

Custom Knitwear is another way to show off your dog. These lovely sweaters get the Christmas Holidays off to a great start with the Ho Ho Ho Custom Dog Face Sweater. For year round wear try the Fair Isle Pattern Dog Face Sweater. Both these sweaters, and the others from Crown & Paw are made of a cotton/poly blend that is lightweight and comfortable. All sweaters come in a choice of colors and feature your pet’s face. I personally liked the Custom Knitted Dog Face Sweater with Heart Sleeves.

Crown & Paw’s Custom Embroidered Pet Face Sweatshirt adds another level of elegance to what is usually considered to be practical, everyday clothing. The photo you submit of your pet will be transformed into embroidery. These soft and snuggly sweatshirts are perfect for walks in the park on a brisk autumn day, or for lounging with your dog at home. They are available in sizes from S to 2XL and come in 6 colors. You can choose to have the embroidery done in full color, white, or black.

Other Ways to Celebrate Your Pet
Some years ago, I was fascinated by felted animals and even bought a book that gave instructions on how to make them, including a French Bulldog. However, I’ve simply never had the time to do this myself, so I was really excited when I saw that Crown & Paw now offers Custom Felt Replica items. These lifelike ‘pets’ will be crafted to look just like your dog (or cat). You will be astonished at the amount of detail and realism that can be captured with the Custom Pet Lifelike Replica or the Handmade Pet Felt Miniature Ornament. A good deal of work goes into these beautiful creations.
If you’re looking for a personalized keychain, look no further than the Handmade Leather Pet Face Keychain – an artist will paint your dog’s portrait on a handmade leather disc to capture the good looks and character of your dog. For those who are fascinated by felt, Crown & Paw presents the Handmade Pet Face Keychain from Photos. This keychain is a felted masterpiece.
Crown & Paw has put together an awesome collection of products to put your dog on a pedestal, as he or she deserves. What better way to show our love for our pets?
