Choosing a Frame That Does Not Fight the Artwork
A frame is a border, not a feature. Three rules that keep it from competing with the portrait.

The frame is the last decision and the easiest one to get wrong, usually by making it too interesting.
Match the frame to the room, not the pet
The portrait already refers to your pet. The frame needs to belong to the wall it hangs on.
Leave a margin
A mount board of at least five centimetres gives the image somewhere to breathe. Without one the artwork reads as crowded.
Go simpler than you think
Ornate frames date quickly and pull attention away from the face. A plain profile in oak, black, or white will outlast the trend.
