Why You Need Wall Art Of Your Pet

1. Technology Is Evolving And Might Fail

The art of photography transcended from the camera obscura, daguerreotypes, dry plate, calotypes, and film, today we have digital cameras. Think about the CD or USB digital photos you had. Where are the files from those devices now?

Sometimes, newer devices can lack the appropriate drive to give you access to your digital photos, or your USB can get corrupted, hard drives can abruptly get wiped, etc. This clearly tells you that technology can fail and that having only digital photos of your pets is not enough.  

Similarly, your computer can unexpectedly crash before you can back up your files, and there is a possibility of losing your phone either through theft or a hard fall. Whatever the case may be, investing in wall art for your pet can save you the upset of losing precious moments between you and your pet (as well as your gadgets – oops!).

2. Pet Wall Art Makes Awesome Interior Decor

No doubt, having a piece of wall art of your dog can automatically announce to your guests that they’re part of the family. In addition, it’s a huge plus to the aesthetics of your home, making it feel more lived in and comforting. Who doesn’t love to see artwork of pets, right?!

Hang your dog wall art in your living room and be prepared to receive compliments on your home decor. You will naturally have lengthy conversations about your pets as they intrinsically become the focal object for conversations and admiration for your guests – at which point you can even introduce your favorite furry friend to them!

4. Wall Art Can Serve As A Memorial To Your Pet

Sadly, we’re all scared to accept the fact that our pets can’t live forever, especially because of the bond we may have shared with them over the years. Nonetheless, having wall art of your pet will always keep them close to your heart.

Whether you decide to have new pets or not, you always have a constant reminder of your beloved dog.  Your wall art will help showcase how much you valued your dog, and it communicates to friends and family true friendship and a strong bond you both shared.

5. You’ll Look At It Way More Than Your Digital Photos

Truth be told, we may never have the time to refer back to digital photos of our pets, or go through Pinterest boards filled with our four-legged friends, especially when we have a pile of activities to attend to daily. 

Sometimes it can be a hassle trying to find them on your phone. Other times, you are trying to create space to accommodate new files that pop into your phone so you are tempted to delete some pictures.

Keep in mind that digital photos have their place, you may need to email your pets’ digital photos to friends and family. However, don’t forget that the primary purpose of taking your pet photograph is to effortlessly have a glance at beautiful memories, capture your dog’s personality and reminisce over amazing moments.

Even if you have to scroll past your pet’s digital photo 80% of the time on your device, you have your wall art to remind you how amazing your pet is. All you have to do is seek out a professional pet photographer to re-create a stunning piece for you.

6. Dog Wall Art Can Help Create Awareness To Support A Cause

Having your dog’s wall art is a great way to show that you are a social activist against dogs, a veterinarian, works with an animal rescue team, or a dog trainer/walker/sitter. 

Whether or not you are hosting an event to support this cause, you can help communicate to the public with the help of your wall art. It instantly passes a message that you value the lives of pets, hence people are more willing to share their thoughts with you.
