Every euthanasia includes an ink pawprint and noseprint on a 4"x6" white cardstock card. We usually use a front paw to get the best pawprint. Please note that with declawed cats we often use the back paw to get a better pawprint. We generally shoot for a 'solid' print, that will engrave or tattoo well. If you have a specific request (using for tattoo, necklace, etc.) or have a specific vision (would like lighter print, want prints together, etc.) please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

If your pet has long/matted hair between their toes, no worries! We shave all feet before making the print in order to get the best pawprint. We also may give your pet a manicure if nails are long.  With self burials we will leave the prints with you to dry. With communal cremations you will see the prints in the mail in 1-2 weeks. With private cremations the prints will be delivered to you with your pet's ashes. 

Although we do our best to make every print exactly how you desire, please note that some paws and noses print differently than others.   Some dogs with severely thickened toe-pads or cats with severe arthritis may have less defined prints.  With brachycephalic dogs (short nosed dogs like pugs. bulldogs, etc.), we may not be able to capture a noseprint. Although we try to include whiskers/beards in the noseprint, depending on the shape of your pet's nose there may be more/less that takes up ink. There are also certain conditions (nasal tumors, severe heart failure, etc.) that may make a noseprint more difficult or impossible. We will inform you at the time of your appointment if we think we may struggle getting a noseprint. 

Each euthanasia appointment includes one complementary ink noseprint/pawprint. Additional prints can be selected on the memorial products form for $10 each. Below are some examples of previous prints.
