Choose between optional text and clip art, print engraving or both. Each print is engraved without the use of ink or dyes of any kind. The crisp and elegant engraving mark is created by thermally fusing a nano-ceramic coating that is as hard and resilient as the stainless steel metal itself. The print quality is promised for life. If the print quality ever degrades, we will replace the piece free of charge. The print appears black in contrast.

How do I Collect prints? Taking a high resolution digital photo is the easiest way to capture your pet’s paw or nose prints and there is no mess! For best results use high resolution setting- photo must be in focus with sharp detail with good exposure (see above paw photo for example). Take several photos and send us the best ones. (Resolution recommendation- 300 dpi or higher or around 2000px x 1500px or higher. If unsure, use the highest resolution setting. JPG format works best).

If using ink prints, we recommend using “baby/child-safe” or “non-toxic” ink pads and plain white paper. Black ink works best. Begin by studying the pawprint of the animal whose print is being taken. Select the area of the paw that is the most interesting. It is generally the area on the center of the paw. This is the area you will want to ink. Practice taking prints on any blank white sheet of paper. Lightly touch the inked surface twice and then press downward on the paper. Use more of a tapping motion than a rolling one. When you are satisfied with the look of the practice prints, place five good prints along the bottom of plain white paper or a white card. Artisans will select the clearest portion of the best print for casting. To scan your print- lay print flat against scanner glass (you may need to apply gentle pressure to scanner lid). Scan at 600 dpi and save in JPG format. Review your prints. If prints look blurry at 100% on screen, you will probably need to adjust your settings. Place your order, then submit your high resolution digital file in JPG format to info@mypetforlife.com with your order number.

About engraving:

We offer your choice of block or script fonts for engraved cremation jewelry. Please keep in mind the fact that script engraving in all caps is not legible, so engraving entries in all caps will be changed to have only the first letter of each word capitalized if submitted that way. We cannot be responsible for submission errors or costs related to the correction of them, so please check your entries carefully. Additionally, a greater number of characters does result in a smaller character size, so please bear that in mind if you are considering a long sentiment.

Having experienced the pain of pet loss, we ultimately found the inspiration for these offerings in the realization that a treasured keepsake does, in time, provide some small degree of comfort. Displaying your special family member’s remains is a beautiful way to memorialize them for a lifetime. Unlike burial sites, small urns can travel with us and enable us to keep the beloved lost ones in our hearts and lives forever.
