Loads of online companies do it and post to you already mounted in a wooden frame.
Photobox.co.uk is who I would usually go for.

Aslong as your picture has a large enough resolution as canvas prints need big files with high-res. 
Photobox.co.uk gets my vote.

canvas can be printed large with small images because the texture and lack of sharpness of the print means that it does not really show on canvas compared to gloss. you can get prints done from fluid images but ultimatly canvas is shit. A nice fibre base print of that dog would look sweet

If you have average resolution they should still work, they just Interpolate the image before they print it.

I used a local place recommended to me by a family friend who is a photographer.
Cost £60 to be printed and stretched which is a decent price seeing as its 24" x 16" 
I will post up a picture of the finished item in a bit.....
