Bay Photo Lab. Get it printed on metal and the Dog will jump off the image.

I have used Costco for many prints with good results. They offer many options. Call first if you don't frequently shop there as many of the print centers are closing.

I'll second that!!!! If it's 3:2 aspect a nice 16x24 metal - bodda bong bodda boom. My only concern however your print, is the jpg file attached looks like the whites may be close to blown out(it may be the fact it's a thumbnail) and may not meet you expectations blown up. Good luck!

I find it hard to believe Costco would do a better job than MPix. I have never used Costco but they are not a professional lab. They have automated machines and I would be surprised if they actually had people trained beyond how to run the machine working there. Meaning what do they actually know about what the end result of your photograph is supposed to look like. I guess the advantage of Costco is location. You can go in and work with them to get the print the way you want it as opposed to doing it via mail. I guess you could always try Costco first and see if you have good luck with them. But can anyone who has used both Explain better why they think Costco prints are better? I have never heard of a professional photographer using Costco for their client work. Maybe for test prints because they are local and do a pretty good job. But are there any wedding photographers or fine art photographers out there who use them for their jobs? I am not being snarky. I am seriously interested in the quality of Costco.

Costco like Sam's Club are volume printers not quality. They also tend to add saturation unless you find the little box to check to say hands off. I did use Sam's for quick and Dirty 8x10's to get a enlarged pic to look for the small nuances that don't always show on my monitor. Mind you, not the color. I would then use a local house for the final print. They don't do large metal so I go to BayPhoto. I like to keep the local guys in business as best I can.
I don't Sam's anymore as they don't do in house printing and it takes 7-10 days to get them printed.

Nice photo.
I would use a little “shadows and highlights” to bring the dogs head out and then work levels to adjust. It’s blending into the background.
Bay photo would be my choice but surprised you would not use pix.
Have it done on metal or metallic paper.
