Working from the photos you still have

Several imperfect photos can be more useful than one perfect one

Do not dismiss a meaningful photograph because it is old. Send a small group when possible: a favourite image for the expression, a clearer image for the eyes, and another that shows coat colour or markings. We will contact you if the likeness cannot be made responsibly from what is available.

See the photo guide

Keep the likeness specific

Tell us which expression feels most like them and point out any markings that must not be missed.

Review before shipping

A proof is sent by email so the purchaser can approve the likeness or request a minor adjustment.

Send it directly

Use the recipient’s address and add a short gift note. Free worldwide delivery is included.

A gift for the person who is grieving

Personal without asking them to explain the loss

A memorial gift can simply say that their dog mattered. Choose a size and format that suits the recipient, keep the note brief, and do not worry about finding perfect words.

For a friend or colleague

A small framed portrait and a private note can acknowledge the loss without demanding a response.

For a partner or family member

A necklace or hand-painted miniature can preserve a familiar face in an everyday place.

For a senior dog remembered years later

The gift does not need to arrive immediately after the loss. An anniversary or birthday can be meaningful too.

For a home with more than one dog

We can paint one or two dogs in a framed portrait, or place up to three portraits on a leather keepsake.

Ordering with care

Dog memorial gift FAQ

What is a meaningful memorial gift after the loss of a dog?

A gift based on the individual dog often feels more personal than a generic paw-print item. A familiar expression, ear shape, coat marking, or favourite photograph can make a portrait feel immediately recognisable to the family.

Can you create a dog memorial portrait from old or blurry photos?

Often, yes. Upload every useful photograph you still have. One image may show the eyes clearly while another helps with colouring, markings, or ear shape. We may carefully restore a reference image before painting when needed.

Can I approve the portrait before it is sent?

Yes. We email a proof before shipping. You can approve it online or request a minor adjustment before a hand-painted piece is dried and safely packed.

Can the gift be sent directly to the person who lost their dog?

Yes. Enter the recipient’s address at checkout and add an optional gift note of up to 20 words. The proof is sent to the purchaser, so the finished gift can remain a surprise.

How long does a dog memorial gift take?

Most parcels arrive in about two weeks when the proof is approved promptly. Hand-painted artwork needs several days to dry before packaging, and Christmas periods may take longer. Worldwide delivery is free.
