I’ve been on the hunt for something special to remember my dog Max with. He’s still here (thankfully!), but I just really wanted something cozy, personal, and cute that celebrates him in our home. I searched everywhere online for a pet-themed rug that didn’t look tacky or outrageously expensive. Most of what I found felt super generic, or the style just wasn’t my vibe.
Then, I stumbled upon ArtForPet.com and honestly... I was so pleasantly surprised.
Their Custom Pet Portrait Milk Velvet Rug immediately caught my eye — soft colors, super clean design, and most importantly, you can upload your pet’s photo and have it turned into this adorable cartoon-style portrait right on the rug. It felt so much more thoughtful than what I’d seen on Amazon or Etsy.
I uploaded one of my favorite photos of Max, filled out the simple customization steps, and that was it! The checkout was easy, and the price? Honestly way less than I expected for a custom product like this.
It took about 10 days to arrive (I’m based in Ohio), and when I opened the package, I legit gasped. The velvet material is soooo soft, and Max’s face looks perfect — it’s somehow cute and funny and heartwarming at the same time. I ended up placing it in our entryway so everyone sees it when they walk in. And yes, Max actually sits on it like it’s his throne 😂
It’s also washable, which is a huge plus when you live with a fluffy, slightly muddy golden retriever like I do.
If you’re thinking about getting a meaningful, custom piece for your home — or even a memorial gift for a friend who lost a pet — I highly recommend this. It’s sweet, it’s personal, and it honestly makes me smile every single day.
Big thanks to ArtForPet for creating something that really hit the heart. 💛
