Why we do this

Losing a dog is a real, deep grief. They were woven into your life — the walks, the greetings at the door, the steady company. And then suddenly, that weight is gone.

We started Dog Memorial Gifts because we wanted to create something small and lasting that people could hold onto. Not a product that felt mass-produced, but something made specifically for their dog — from their photo, with their name.

What we make

Every portrait begins with the photo you share with us. We work from that image to create a pencil-drawing-style portrait that captures your dog's coat, colouring, and face — not a template, not a stock dog.

The portrait includes a soft rainbow-bridge sky and your dog's name written in warm script. We create several versions so you can choose the one that feels most like them.

Before anything is sent, a real person reviews each portrait to make sure it looks genuinely like your dog. That check matters to us. A memorial gift that doesn't resemble the animal it's meant to remember isn't a memorial gift — it's just an image.

What we promise

We'll take care with your photo and your dog's name. We'll create something that actually looks like them. And if it's not right, we'll remake it — as many times as it takes.

That's the whole thing, really.

We also make cat portraits

If you've also lost a cat, or know someone who has, our sister site Cat Memorial Gifts offers the same gentle process — the same pencil style, the same care, for cats.
