Whether you work in a busy clinic, don’t have access to an oven, or like to allow pet parents the chance to add their own decorations, our Bake at Home Bundle makes the process of sending unbaked ClayPaws prints home with families to bake simple and meaningful.

Ink Nose Prints
Have you wondered about making ink nose prints? Well, first I’ll ask, is there anything better than a dog or cat’s nose? Pets lead with their noses. Their noses help them to interpret their world, find their food, and recognize their people. Their sniffing, nuzzling, and “booping” are some of the most fond memories we have of our pets’ behaviors. So, it makes perfect sense that, in addition to a paw print, pet parents may want to keep a reminder of their pet’s nose after they’ve said goodbye. Because of this need, we’ve done extensive testing to find the best… Continue Reading

One way to demonstrate your heartfelt care, especially during times of loss, is to use our new HeartFelt Stickers. The idea for these stickers, like many of our products, came from you–the experienced veterinary team. How bandage art helped me say… Continue Reading
