How Long Does a Custom Pet Portrait Take?

A custom pet portrait is made for one customer rather than taken from ready-made stock, so it cannot be delivered instantly. Turnaround depends on the artist’s queue, the number of pets, the clarity of the photographs and the type of artwork ordered.

The process starts with usable photographs

At Kiock, the turnaround begins after suitable reference photos are received. An order without an order number, a very dark image or a heavily compressed screenshot may require follow-up before drawing can begin.

How long does Kiock take?

Kiock portraits are normally delivered within 5–7 working days after clear photographs arrive. Finished high-resolution JPG and PNG files are sent by email, so there is no additional postal delivery time.

What can affect the schedule?

  • Waiting for replacement or supporting photographs
  • Several pets in one composition
  • Unclear instructions about markings or placement
  • A requested revision after the first artwork is delivered
  • Busy seasonal periods such as Christmas

Ordering for a deadline

Place the order early enough to allow time for the artwork, one minor revision and any printing or framing you plan to arrange. Digital delivery is faster than physical shipping, but a professional print service may still need several extra days.

How to avoid delays

Email the order number with the original photo files, name every pet and include important notes in one message. If multiple photographs are supplied, indicate which is the preferred main reference.
