Pet memorial books

A personalised pet memorial book for the friend you never want to forget.

When a pet dies, you do not just lose an animal. You lose routines, nicknames, greetings, sounds, habits and a presence that made home feel like home.

Illustrated portrait of Puffin, a fox-red Labrador, from a personalised pet memorial storybook

A Puffin memorial book helps you gather those memories and turn them into a personalised illustrated storybook.

It can include where they came from, the names you called them, their favourite places, funny habits, family adventures and the role they played in your life.

More than a photo book

A photo book shows what they looked like. A Puffin book tells the story of who they were.

It captures the details that made them yours: the way they greeted you, the places they loved, the names they collected, the mischief they caused and the moments that became part of your family's story.

Helping children remember

A personalised storybook can help children remember a pet in a way that feels warm, familiar and easy to return to. It gives them something to hold and read. It helps keep the pet's name, personality and story alive in the family.

That was why the first Puffin book was made. So Zara could remember Puffin not just as a dog in photos, but as a much-loved friend who had been part of our lives.

A keepsake made with care

A way to remember who they really were.

Whether it is for you or a gift for someone grieving, a memorial book is a meaningful way to remember a much-loved pet.

Deeply personal

Built from your own photos, memories and the little details that made them unmistakably them.

Beautifully illustrated

Your questions, answered.

What is a pet memorial book?
A pet memorial book is a personalised illustrated storybook created from your photos and memories, made to remember a pet who has died. Puffin Story Co. illustrates your pet's story in a warm picture-book style, so you have a keepsake to remember who they really were.
Can I make a memorial book for a dog, cat or other pet?
Yes. We create memorial books for dogs, cats, horses and other companion animals. Whatever your companion was, we will build their story from the photos and memories you share.
Is a memorial book a good gift for someone grieving a pet?
It can be a meaningful dog memorial gift or pet remembrance gift. You can build it yourself from photos shared with us, or send a gift voucher so they can create their own when they feel ready.
Will the book look like my pet?
We work from your photos and the details you share, and you will always see a digital preview before anything is printed. Revisions are free, so we can keep refining until it captures them. Every book is hand-illustrated rather than an exact photographic copy, so it has its own warm, storybook character.
How long does a memorial book take?
Most books are illustrated and previewed within 2 to 3 weeks. Once you approve your digital preview, printing and delivery takes a further 7 to 10 days. There is no rush. We will work at a pace that feels right for you.
