Ordered a bust of our recently passed, much loved Labrador. The quality and likeness is incredible and even though the sadness is still very much there, it brings us comfort to see it everyday.

  1. We had to say goodbye to our little fur baby earlier this year and I wanted something special to remember her by. I actually teared up when I opened the box. Now she sits on our shelf and I give her head a little pet every time I walk past.

    I was worried she’d end up looking like a generic cat, especially as I really wanted them to capture her little sassy head tilt, but they absolutely nailed it! It looks just like her from her ears and eyes to her tiny button nose.

    I’m so happy with it. If you’re looking for a pet memorial or just a different kind of pet portrait, I’d 100% recommend this. I’m already looking at the Viking/Caesar busts…. Which might accidentally become my husbands Christmas present (mostly just a gift for myself with a reason for it 😂)

    Thank you so much!!!

  4. Ordered two busts of my dog who recently passed. One as a gift and one for myself. Very well done and they were quick to respond and work with me. I received it faster than I thought with no complications.

About this piece

Turn favourite photographs of your dog, cat or other pet into a personalised pet sculpture, with your chosen wording on the base. Choose Warm Marble Grey or Pure White for a shelf, mantel or sideboard.

A sculpted likeness from your photos

This is a three-dimensional pet portrait based on reference photos, rather than a copy of one photograph. Clear photos help us understand the shape, markings and features that matter to you; each personalised pet sculpture is approximately 18 cm tall and made for indoor display.

How it works

  1. Choose the finish and add your pet's name, dates or one short line for the base.
  2. Upload 1 to 5 clear photos on this page. Buying as a gift? Tick the gift option above and send the photos later.
  3. We check the photos. We send the design proof to the email you use at checkout and ask there if another photo would help.
  4. After checkout, your private order page keeps your photos, messages, proof and production updates together.

We send a design proof before we make anything. One change is free. If it's still not right, we refund you before we start.

Details

  • One custom pet bust made from your photos
  • Approx. 18 cm tall; width and depth vary to suit the pet
  • Warm Marble Grey or Pure White finish
  • Lightweight, with a marble-effect finish, hand-finished in Cumbria
  • Free engraved base wording included
  • Suitable for dogs, cats and other pets where the photos show enough detail

Is a sculpted pet bust right for you?

Choose a bust when you want a three-dimensional likeness based on your pet's features and photos. If preserving one exact photograph matters more than a sculpted interpretation, a conventional photo print or flat photo gift may be the more direct choice.

Very small, blurred or heavily filtered photos can limit the detail we can work from. Send the clearest image you have; extra clear angles are helpful, and we will ask if another photo would help.

Choosing between a portrait and an urn

Choose this bust for a lightweight indoor portrait made from your photos. If you need an urn for ashes or a memorial intended for the garden, compare our pet memorial options by placement, material and whether they hold ashes.

Photo guidance

A clear front-facing photo is the best starting point. Side views and photos taken in natural light help us understand the shape, markings and features that matter. Exact proportions vary with each pet and clear references give the strongest result.

Care and timing

Keep indoors and wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Dispatched in around 7 working days after we have your photos and details. Delivery time is additional. Custom or personalised items do not normally have the change-of-mind cancellation right. Your statutory rights still apply if the bust is faulty, damaged or not as described.

Common questions

What finish will I receive?

Choose Warm Marble Grey or Pure White on this page. Your basket will show the exact finish selected.

How do I send my photos?

Upload 1 to 5 clear photos on this page before adding the bust to your basket. After checkout, your private order page keeps your photos, messages and proof together.

Will I receive a preview?

Yes. We use the proof email you provide for your preview and to contact you if another photo would help.

How long does it take?

Production is around 7 working days once we have your photos and details, before dispatch. Delivery time is additional and the available delivery options are shown at checkout.

Can I add engraving?

Yes. Free engraving on the base is included. Add your wording on the product page when ordering.

Can I return a custom bust?

Custom or personalised items do not normally have the change-of-mind cancellation right. Your statutory rights still apply if the bust is faulty, damaged or not as described.

Can you make a bust from one photo?

Yes. One clear, front-facing photo is often enough. You can provide up to five photos, and extra clear angles can help us understand the shape and markings.
