Engraved, embroidered, painted or made to measure. The things that could only ever belong to one dog — and the collection we care about most.
Creature Clothes
£46
A leather collar with your dog's name stamped into it — plain, gold or silver — made to order in England.
Why we picked itThe name is embossed into the leather itself rather than on a tag that can fall off, the edges are bevelled and hand-painted, and it comes in six sizes. A small British maker doing a classic properly.

£65
A handmade sterling silver heart pendant carrying the texture of your own dog's paw pad, made from a mould you take at home with the kit supplied.

Fired Rose
From £155
A fine silver pendant made from an impression of a paw pad or nose taken with a kit sent to your home, on a choice of four chain styles.
Why we picked itFired Rose works from a physical mould rather than a photograph, using what the designer calls the toe beans of a paw or the boop of a nose. The mould is kept for future orders, up to three initials can be engraved on the back, and impressions can also be taken in person at the Norfolk studio.

Under the Rose
£180
A solid sterling silver pendant engraved with your dog's nose print from a close-up photograph, optionally paired with a fingerprint, on a 20 inch silver chain.
Why we picked itA dog's nose print is individual to the dog, and this needs only a clear daylight photograph rather than an impression kit, so it can be made from pictures you already have. The seller checks the image quality before starting, and the piece is made and engraved to order in their Surrey studio.

Why personalised
A name stitched into a collar, a portrait of a particular grey muzzle, a bed that fits one very specific way of sleeping — personalised things tend to be made by small workshops and individual makers, and they’re usually kept long after the ordinary things have gone.
We look for personalisation that’s done well: clear lettering, good materials, sensible lead times and makers who explain exactly what you’ll receive.
Before you order
Worth two minutes before you press “buy” on the maker’s site.
