Custom Pet Portrait Slate, Engraved Dog or Cat Portrait from Your Photo, Personalized Pet Lover Gift, Dog Mom Gift, Pet Christmas Gift

Celebrate the pet who makes every day better.

Send us a favorite photo of your pet, and we'll design a detailed portrait and laser-engrave it onto a natural 4" x 4" slate, with their name and a few words that capture who they are. Perfect for a birthday, a gotcha day, a new puppy or kitten, or a pet lover's Christmas. Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and every kind of companion are welcome. All we need is a clear photo.

The slates in our photos were made for our own two girls. Bones, a stray cat who came to us with so little and left us with so much. And Roxy, our kind and gentle dog, who loved lying under her favorite tree. They're the reason Kindred Keepsakes began. We've had pets in our family for as long as we can remember, and we know they're family. Every slate is designed, finished and packed by hand with that in mind.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Order and fill in the personalization box (name, nicknames, a birthday or gotcha day, a short saying).
2. Upload your pet's photo when you order. A clear, well-lit close-up of their face works best: square, centered, and looking at the camera, against a background that contrasts with their fur (a dark pet on a light background, or a light pet on a dark one). The clearer the photo, the better the portrait. Engravings are an artistic interpretation, so small differences from the photo are normal.
3. We design your portrait based on the photo and details you send, then engrave it. Want to see it first? Choose "Yes" for the preview question.
4. We seal, pack and ship your keepsake with tracking.

DETAILS
- Natural slate, about 4" x 4", roughly 3/16" thick. Each stone is unique, with rustic edges, so thickness and texture vary slightly.
- Laser-engraved in natural slate tones (shades of gray, not color), then sealed with clear coats
- Stands on its own for a shelf or mantle, works as a coaster, or can be set on a garden stone
- Small foam pads on the back protect your surfaces and let it double as a coaster, without getting in the way of displaying it

PERSONALIZATION IDEAS
Name, nicknames, a birthday or gotcha day, a favorite saying. Or choose from ours:
- "Best boy" / "Best girl"
- "Our favorite family member"
- "Home is wherever you are"
"Loved more than words"
