How it works

From a memory to a book on the shelf.

Five simple steps. You bring the photos and the memories. We create the likeness, story and artwork in stages, with private review links so you can approve each one before your keepsake is finished.

1

Tell us about them

Start with their name and a little about who they are: the soppy one, the explorer, the one who steals socks. The details you share shape how we bring them to life and the warmth of the story.

2

Gather your memories

Add the moments worth keeping: a first walk, a favourite nap spot, the day they chose you. Each memory becomes its own illustrated spread. Upload a few photos so the likeness is unmistakably them.

Choose your tale & checkout

Pick a Little Tale (7 memories) or a Grand Tale (15 memories), then choose a digital edition, softback or hardback. Payment is taken securely so we can begin creating your book.

Approve it, stage by stage

We create the likeness, the story and the artwork, and send you private review links along the way. Approve each one or ask for changes, right through to the final PDF proof, so it captures them exactly.

Delivered, digital or in print

Once you approve the final proof, your finished book is delivered as a digital edition, or beautifully printed and posted to your door, ready for the shelf, the bedtime read, or the gift you will never forget giving.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

What is a Puffin Story Co. book?
A Puffin Story Co. book is a personalised illustrated storybook created from your pet's photos, personality and memories.
Can I create a book for a pet who has died?
Yes. Many Puffin books are created as memorial books for pets who have died. They are designed to help families remember the animal's personality, story and place in their lives.
Can I create a book while my pet is still alive?
Yes. You can create a celebration book while your pet is still here. This is a lovely way to capture their character, routines, favourite places and family stories.
Is this suitable for children?
Yes. A Puffin book can be created in a warm storybook style that helps children remember a much-loved pet.
What information do I need to provide?
You can share photos, memories, nicknames, favourite places, funny habits, family moments and any details that made your pet special.
Can I review the book before it is finished?
Yes. We create your book in stages, and you approve each one through a private review link: first the illustrated likeness of your animal, then the story script, and finally a full PDF proof of the finished book. You can request changes at any stage.
Is the book made instantly?
No. Puffin Story Co. is a guided creative process, not an instant generator. We create and review your book in stages, with your approval at each one, so the finished keepsake feels exactly right.
Do you only make books about dogs?
No. Puffin Story Co. can create books about dogs, cats, rabbits, horses and other companion animals.
Can veterinary practices offer Puffin books to clients?
Yes. Veterinary practices can partner with Puffin Story Co. and share a private link or QR code, allowing clients to create personalised pet memorial and celebration books.
