Choosing the Best Keepsake for Your Pet

Collar Jewelry: Pet keepsakes come in all shapes and forms, but there’s no better way to keep your pet’s spirit alive than with a wearable vestige that reminds you of all the adventures and cuddles you shared. Using your pet’s collar, leash, or ID tags, you can create a fashionable artifact that will make you smile each time you glance downward.

DIY Paw Print: Paw prints are just as unique as fingerprints, and you can easily turn your pet’s paw print into a work of art. Using just a few pet-friendly materials, you can commemorate your beloved companion in a sentimental way. Paw print art can be made of salt dough, sand, paint, and other materials.

Shadow Box: If your pet had a lot of squeaky toys, bones, or stuffed animals, you can compile these items to create a one-of-a-kind remembrance box that you can pass on to your children. You can also add favorite photos, collars, or locks of fur to treasure for years to come. You can simultaneously design a keepsake box while storing ashes with a wooden urn. Wood urn boxes are made from a variety of wood species and finished with a veneer for durability.

Urn Jewelry: Would you prefer a portable memento of your cherished companion? Cremation jewelry is a popular option for both humans and pets. Cremation pendants are designed to hold a nominal portion of ashes, usually up to one cubic inch. You can also share your pet’s ashes with other family members, children, or friends by dividing ashes between bracelets, necklaces, key chains, and other artifacts.
