Animal Paint by Numbers: Dog, Cat and Wildlife Kits for the US

Animal paint by numbers kits cover dogs, cats, and wildlife subjects. The numbered canvas format handles the color complexity of fur, feathers, and scales in a way that makes detailed animal portraits achievable for any skill level.

Animal paint by numbers kits are among the most searched and most gifted categories in the hobby. Dogs, cats, and wildlife subjects are all well suited to the numbered canvas format: the distinct color areas of fur, the contrast between an animal's coat and its background, and the expressiveness of animal eyes all translate naturally to a paint by numbers grid. This guide covers what catalogue animal designs are available in the US, how to choose the right one, and how to turn a photo of your own pet into a custom numbered canvas.

Dog Paint by Numbers

Dogs are the most popular animal subject in the paint by numbers catalogue. The combination of expressive faces, varied fur textures, and strong contrast between coat and background makes dog subjects technically rewarding and visually satisfying as a finished piece.

Cat Paint by Numbers

Cat subjects are among the most technically interesting in the animal range. The fine texture of cat fur, the reflective quality of cat eyes, and the range of poses and environments cats are photographed in give the catalogue strong variety across subjects.

Wildlife Paint by Numbers

The wildlife range covers ocean, arctic, and tropical subjects with strong atmospheric backgrounds. These designs tend to have bolder color contrast than pet subjects and often feature large background sections that fill quickly before the detailed animal work in the foreground.

Custom Pet Paint by Numbers

A custom pet paint by numbers kit converts your own photo into a numbered canvas. The result is a painting of your specific pet, not a generic animal design.

A custom pet paint by numbers kit converts a photo of your own pet into a numbered canvas. This is the most personal version of an animal kit: you paint your specific dog, cat, horse, or any animal subject rather than a catalogue design. The numbered sections are designed from your uploaded photo by a real artist, not automated software, which makes a significant difference for pet portraits where the likeness depends on accurate color mapping of individual fur texture and eye detail.

For the best result, use the original full-size photo from your phone or camera. A photo taken at the animal's eye level, in natural daylight, with the pet filling most of the frame produces the clearest likeness. Our custom pet portrait guide covers exactly what makes a good photo upload for an animal subject.

Custom pet kits start from $34.99 USD and are produced by an overseas production partner with fresh paints on every order. The artist design step adds 2 to 3 business days before shipping, so allow 7 to 11 days total for delivery to any US address.
