Why Pets Love the Kitchen: Custom Chef Pet Portraits

Golden Doodle Puppy Portrait - The Chef's Companion, custom pet portrait, hand-painted and digital artwork by artist Enzie Shahmiri

If there’s one place in the house that always seems to have furry company, it’s the kitchen! Whether I’m chopping veggies, stirring soup, or sneaking a cookie, my pup Trixie is never far away—usually stationed right underfoot with that hopeful, “Did something just drop?” look. I thought it would be fun to create a portrait that features a pet in a fictional kitchen setting to give you an idea how you can have your little furry friend incorporated in your kitchen setting as well.

But have you ever wondered why our pets love hanging out in the kitchen so much? Turns out, it’s not just about food (well… mostly). 

1. The Kitchen Is the Heart of the Home
Pets pick up on our energy, and the kitchen is often where families gather, chat, and laugh. It’s warm, lively, and smells like love—especially when a roast is in the oven or bacon hits the pan.

2. The Smells Are Irresistible
Let’s face it—dogs and cats have super sniffers. Every aroma from simmering soup to freshly baked bread is like a five-star sensory experience. Even the sound of a knife on a cutting board probably means “treats are coming!” in their language.

3. They Want to Be Near You
At the end of the day, our pets just want to be part of our world. If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, it becomes their favorite hangout spot too. The floor might be cool, the light might be cozy, but mostly—it’s where you are.

So next time you trip over a tail while reaching for the fridge, just remember—it’s a sign of love (and maybe a bit of snack anticipation).
