A Mother’s Day Pet Portrait She’ll Keep
In the US, Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday of May, and a Mother’s Day pet portrait is one of the few gifts that brings the whole family into it. Kids can give Mom a portrait of the family dog “from all of us,” you can surprise your own mother with a portrait of the cat she dotes on, or a partner can help little ones give a gift from the pet itself.
It also works for grandmothers, mothers-in-law, stepmoms and new moms whose first baby had four legs. Upload a photo, choose a style and see a free preview in about 30 seconds. If you love it, pick a framed print from $129 or a canvas from $89, add the pet’s name free, and approve the digital proof we email.
Order at least 1–2 weeks ahead so it arrives in time. Left it late? A gift card is emailed instantly. Shopping for a dog-obsessed mom year-round? See our dog mom gift and cat mom gift pages.

Picking a Photo for Mom’s Portrait
You probably already have the perfect photo somewhere. Here’s where to look and what to choose:
- Search the family group chat. The photo everyone reacted to is often the one Mom loves most.
- Choose the pet as she sees them. Her favorite is usually the face she sees every day: on the couch, at the door, in her garden.
- Make sure the pet is the star. Pick a shot where the pet’s face is large and clear, not a group photo where they’re small in a corner.
- Daylight wins. Photos taken outdoors in open shade or near a window show true coat color and sharp eyes.
- Grab it on your next visit. Visiting Mom before May? Snap a few photos of her pet at eye level while you’re there.
- Use the original file. Ask whoever took it to send the full-size version, not a screenshot.
Mother’s Day Styles She’ll Love
Think about Mom’s home as much as her pet:
- Watercolor Blue — soft, calm and classic. The safest choice for most moms and most rooms, and it flatters almost any coat.
- Sparkle — polished and semi-realistic on a dreamy blue sparkle background. Sweet and a little glamorous, perfect for a mom who calls the dog her “grandbaby.”
- Pop — bold colors and paint splatter for a fun-loving mom with a bright home, and a great pick when kids help choose.
For frames, White Oak feels fresh and springlike, Pecan suits traditional homes, and Matte Black looks crisp in modern spaces. For a warmer, rustic feel, try Watercolor Earthy.
Mother’s Day Pet Portrait FAQ
Mother’s Day in the US is the second Sunday of May. Order at least 1–2 weeks ahead: we email a digital proof first, production takes 1–2 business days after you approve it, and free USPS Priority shipping usually takes 2–5 business days. Approving your proof promptly keeps things moving.
Send a gift card. It’s emailed instantly, so you can print it or tuck it into a card on Mother’s Day morning. Mom then uploads her favorite photo, previews styles for free and chooses her own size and frame, which many moms enjoy as much as the portrait itself.
Yes, and it’s fun. Previews are free and take about 30 seconds, so children can upload a photo and try different styles to see which they like best. Older kids can pick the frame, too. You’ll complete the order and approve the emailed proof before anything is printed.
Yes, if you have a photo of them together. Upload one photo with both pets in it and we’ll include them at no extra charge. Choose a photo where both faces are clear. Our two pets in one portrait page has tips for getting a good joint photo.
It’s a lovely one, especially if her pet is her constant companion. If you’re unsure about her wall space, a 12″×12″ ($89) or 12″×16″ ($99) gallery-wrap canvas fits a shelf or side table. A 16″×16″ framed print ($129) suits most walls. Add the pet’s name for free.
