Pet memories collage for a custom dog diamond painting — DYCDIY turns beloved photos into a sparkling memorial keepsake.

A keepsake that brings Max back to the doorway—one sparkle at a time.

Still Waiting by the Door

“Max was with us for 14 wonderful years.”
Every evening he waited by the door, tail wagging as if to say, “You’re home, everything’s okay now.” When he passed away last winter, the silence in our house was almost unbearable.

It was my daughter who suggested turning one of Max’s photos into a diamond painting. We worked on it together, carefully placing each tiny piece, and somehow it felt like Max was still part of our home—like he was guiding us through our grief.

Now the finished painting hangs in our living room. It’s more than a picture—it's our way of keeping his spirit alive. Every time I see it, I smile, as if Max is still waiting by the door.

FAQs

Can I use a phone photo of my pet?

Yes! Most customers use everyday phone photos. Just make sure it’s the original file (not a screenshot or social media download) for the clearest result.

What size is best for a pet portrait?

For a single pet, we recommend 16"x20" (40×50 cm) or larger. For two or more pets in the same photo, 18"x24" (45×60 cm) or bigger helps preserve fur detail and expressions.

My pet has dark fur—will the details show clearly?

Yes. Our designers adjust contrast and colors so your pet’s unique features—eyes, fur texture, markings—shine through in the diamond painting.

Can I combine multiple pets into one painting?

Yes. If you don’t have a single photo of them together, you can upload separate images and leave a note. Our designers can help combine them into one composition.

What if my pet has passed away?

Many families create memorial paintings as a way to keep their pets close. We’ll handle your photos with care, making sure the final piece feels warm and true to their spirit.

How long does it take to receive my order?

On average, 5–7 business days for production, plus 7–15 days for shipping, depending on your location.
