"There is a special kind of joy in unpacking the holiday decorations and finding that one ornament that looks exactly like your best friend. Custom pet ornaments are more than tree décor — they are physical tokens of the bond that greets you at the door every day. Whether it is a ceramic photo ornament of a new puppy's first Christmas or a personalized keepsake honoring a senior pet who has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, these pieces ensure your furry family members are always part of the festivities."

Pro tip: the "eye-level" photo strategy
Great ornaments start with great photos. When submitting your image for a custom pet photo ornament, the angle of the shot makes all the difference.
The strategy: Photograph your pet at their eye level rather than looking down. This creates a far more engaging, lifelike keepsake — it feels as if they are looking right back at you from the tree.
Lighting tip: Natural, indirect light near a window prevents the "glowing eye" effect and keeps colors vibrant on the finished personalized dog or cat ornament.
Common questions
Do you make ornaments for both dogs and cats?
Yes — we make personalized dog ornaments, personalized cat ornaments, and ornaments featuring both together. If you have a multi-pet household, we can fit them all on one ornament or create individual pieces for each.
What photo format works best?
A clear, well-lit photo taken at your pet's eye level gives the sharpest result. JPG or PNG files work fine. If you are unsure whether your photo will print well, our team will reach out before production.
Can I order a pet memorial ornament with dates?
Absolutely. Our personalized pet memorial ornaments can include a photo, your pet's name, birth and passing dates, and a custom message such as "Forever in our hearts." Choose ceramic for the most vivid photo reproduction.
What shapes are available for dog ornaments?
Popular shapes include round, bone, paw print, heart, and photo-frame silhouettes. Acrylic ornaments also come in breed-specific shapes for select breeds.
Do you offer family ornaments that include a dog or cat?
Yes. We carry personalized family ornaments with pets — great for couples, families, and households where the dog or cat is as much a part of the portrait as anyone else. These are some of our most-requested holiday items.
How early should I order for Christmas delivery?
Custom ornaments sell out fast in the holiday season. We recommend ordering by early December to allow time for production, quality check, and shipping. Rush options may be available — check the product page for current lead times.
Every ornament is printed and quality-checked in Florida.
