From
£50.00
Pet Memory Dog
Celebrate the life of a much-loved pet with a handcrafted keepsake dog made from their favourite blankets, bedding or clothing. Each memory dog is individually handmade using your treasured fabrics, creating a comforting reminder of the love and companionship you shared.
Our pets leave paw prints on our hearts forever. Whether they've been by your side for a few years or a lifetime, saying goodbye is never easy. A Pet Memory Dog offers a comforting way to preserve those precious memories by transforming your pet's favourite belongings into a beautiful handmade keepsake.
Each dog is individually handcrafted using your supplied fabrics, creating a unique keepsake that reflects your pet's personality and the memories you shared together.
Favourite blankets, bedding, dressing gowns they loved to snuggle in, jumpers, pet coats and even cherished toys can often be incorporated into the finished design, making every memory dog completely unique. Every keepsake is lovingly handmade in my North East England studio.

Why You'll Love It
Every pet has their own personality, favourite places and treasured belongings. Perhaps it was the blanket they curled up on every evening, their favourite fleece, a much-loved dressing gown they always slept on or the little coat they proudly wore on every walk.
Rather than keeping those treasured items folded away, I can carefully transform them into a keepsake dog you'll always be able to display and treasure.
Each one becomes a lasting reminder of the unconditional love, loyalty and companionship that only a beloved pet can give.

Clothing requirements for keepsake dog
To create one Standard Memory Dog, I recommend:
Large pet blanket, jacket or coat
2-3 small pet blankets, coats or jackets
Most fabrics work well, however very thick or heavy fabrics are not recommended, as they can affect the finish of the keepsake dog. If you’re unsure whether your items are suitable, I’m always happy to advise before you send anything.
All clothing should be clean and in reasonable condition. Signs of wear are normal and often add to the character of the finished keepsake.
Personalisation (Optional)
Personalisation is available as an optional extra.
Embroidered foot pads
Up to 8 characters per line
Maximum of 3 lines per foot pad
£5 per embroidered foot pad
This is entirely optional and can be added if it feels right for you. Please note if you wish to have handwriting recreated this is an additional charge for each piece of writing and can be added here

Memory bears are keepsake items and not toys
They are not intended for play and are not suitable for under 14 year olds.
Unused Fabric/Items
I treat every piece of clothing you send me with the utmost care and respect. Once your custom keepsake is complete, any remaining, usable fabric and buttons will be neatly packed and returned to you in a clearly labelled, sealed bag alongside your finished order.
I keep these pieces safely protected so that if you ever decide you would like to order additional keepsakes in the future your cherished textiles are perfectly preserved and ready to be used.
