Tails We Keep — personalised pet storybooks

Keepsake pet storybooks

Every pet leaves a story worth keeping.

The way they wait by the door. The spot on the sofa that is theirs and no one else's. We take the memories and personality you already carry and turn them into a beautifully illustrated hardcover storybook with their name on the cover.

You know what makes them special. We give them somewhere to live.

Not a template with a name dropped in. Their face, their colouring, the ridiculous way they sit. The walk they insisted on in the rain, the person in the house they quietly chose, the noise they make when you come home. Written and illustrated into a book you can hold, and read aloud, long after the day it arrives.

Celebrate my pet

For the one currently asleep across your feet. A warm, funny book about exactly who they are right now — before the small things fade into ordinary.

Remember my pet

For the one who has gone. A gentle book that keeps what they were like, written so it can be read aloud to a child — or to yourself, on the harder evenings.

Made to be kept

A real hardcover, not a printout.

    Written around your pet's real character, not a stock plot.

  • Their name on the cover

    Plus a dedication page written entirely in your words.

  • One revision round

    For likeness and any factual corrections you spot.

  • You approve the proof

    Printing only begins once you say the book is right.
