Every year, as Christmas approaches, millions of people around the world look forward to sending and receiving greeting cards. It’s a tradition that never loses its charm, and for pet lovers, there’s something extra special about finding the perfect Christmas card that features their favourite animal — especially when it’s the same breed as their beloved pet.

Christmas cards with dogs and cats have become increasingly popular in recent years. Many people enjoy choosing a card that looks just like their own pet, whether it’s a cheeky Terrier in a Santa hat, a sleepy Persian cat by the fire, or a proud Labrador surrounded by snowflakes. There’s something heart-warming about sending a festive message that reflects the joy and companionship our pets bring into our lives all year round.

It’s easy to see why so many dog and cat owners love this idea. Our pets are part of the family, and including them in Christmas traditions feels completely natural. A card featuring a familiar breed can feel personal and meaningful — almost like the card is being sent from the pet itself! For many, it’s a lovely way to celebrate the bond they share, and a charming reminder of how much love animals bring into our homes.

Christmas and pets go together perfectly. Whether it’s a cat trying to climb the Christmas tree or a dog eagerly unwrapping presents, our furry friends always add fun and laughter to the season. They make us smile, remind us to live in the moment, and fill our homes with warmth. No wonder people want to see them on their Christmas cards.

In my own collection, you’ll find a variety of high-quality Christmas cards featuring different dog and cat breeds in festive scenes. Each design is based on my original artwork, created with love and care to capture the character and charm of every animal. These cards make wonderful gifts for pet owners or simply a delightful way to send Christmas wishes from “the dog” or “the cat.”

For those who would like something truly unique, there’s also the opportunity to have your very own pet featured on a greeting card. This begins with a commissioned portrait or sketch of your dog or cat, painted in your chosen style. From that artwork, I can create beautifully printed Christmas cards that are completely personal to you. Some of my clients even choose to allow their pets’ portraits to appear on my wider card collections, which means their furry friends can be loved by people all around the world.

A custom pet Christmas card is more than just a card — it’s a little piece of art, a keepsake that celebrates the special relationship between you and your pet. It’s something to treasure long after the decorations come down.
