Custom Pet Portraits New Zealand
Last updated: May 2026. New Zealand has 64% pet ownership across 4.7 million people — one of the highest per-capita rates anywhere. The SPCA New Zealand reports cats and dogs as the dominant categories, with 41% of households owning at least one cat. SnoutCraft makes custom New Zealand pet portraits on fine-art paper with a solid wooden frame, printed at our trusted print network's nearest facility, and shipped free across both islands in 3–5 business days.
How much does a New Zealand pet portrait cost?
| Size | Dimensions | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 30×45 cm (12×18″) | NZ$189 |
| Medium | 40×60 cm (16×24″) | NZ$269 |
| Large | 60×90 cm (24×36″) | NZ$389 |
Each portrait includes free NZ shipping, solid wooden frame (black, white, walnut, or oak), 24-hour preview, and unlimited revisions.
Why NZ pet owners choose artist-directed portraits
Three reasons: 1. Auckland-printed: no overseas shipping waits or customs delays 2. NZD pricing transparency: no FX conversion surprises 3. Reverse Christmas timing: order by mid-November for Christmas; portraits ship to summer-mood Kiwi homes
