Bespoke Paintings & Portraits from Your Photographs
We are unable to refund paintings that are personally and specifically designed for a customer. These include all portraits including dogs in uniform paintings. All paintings will be of the same standard as shown on the website and the client can request unlimited changes (within reason). However, once you have approved your portrait, no further alterations can be made and since Dog Artists will be unable to resell such paintings, no money back offer can be given.
Gift Vouchers
Personalised gift vouchers are available upon request. Please note that monies paid upfront are non-refundable.
Our Commitment
We are committed to protecting your privacy. We use the personal information you give us, such as your billing, delivery and e-mail addresses, to process and keep you informed of your order. You may, from time to time, receive information from us about new services and special offers we think you’ll find valuable. Under no circumstances do we rent, trade or share your e-mail address with any other company for marketing purposes.
Privacy Policy
We do not store credit card details nor do we share customer details with any 3rd parties. Ever.
Delivery Policy
Please allow between 4 – 6 weeks from commissioning your painting to receiving it. We need to make sure the oils have sufficiently dried before we can safely deliver your oil painting to you. Your painting will be delivered by Royal Mail’s special delivery service and will also be insured against loss and damage. Special delivery means that you will receive your painting before 1pm the next day. We will of course notify you of your own personal delivery date. If for some reason your painting unfortunately gets lost in transit, we will of course redo your painting at our own expense. No refunds however will be given.

Refund Policy – Portraits from Photographs
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to commission a portrait based on a photograph. If you are not satisfied with your portrait and would like the artist to make changes, your artist will be happy to do so. Changes requested must be written down by you in an email or letter to avoid any confusion and sent to Dog Artists. Dog Artists will then pass on your instructions to your artist. A new photograph will then be taken of your amended portrait and be sent to you for your approval. If you still would like alterations, your artist will be happy to do so (within reason) until you are delighted with your painting. Upon approval, you will then be asked to settle the remaining balance and once the oils have sufficiently dried we will then post your painting to you via special delivery. It is important to note, that once you have approved your portrait, no further alterations can or will be made and no refund can be given.
