Clay Paw Prints

An imprint can be made of your faithful companion’s paw.  This is a wonderful remembrance.  The imprint is made in polymer clay.  After it is baked, it hardens into a permanent, resistant artful piece, that you will cherish along with all the memories of your friend.  

If you would like to have this wonderful remembrance, you may fill out this form.  You can choose from the following models:

The Basic Paw Print (cost $40)

This paw print is simple, yet made with care by Home Pet Euthanasia.  It is the imprint of your faithful companion's paw in polymer clay.  There is no engraving, finish or dyes.  It is made using a technique which will prevent imperfections such as dirt or hair from getting into the clay, without using paint as a cover up. 

Please note that the Private Cremation includes a similar basic paw print, courtesy of Peaceful Paws.  This print is not made by Home Pet Euthanasia and is a bit thinner than the one we make, is cut with a cookie cutter and the top surface is painted to mask any imperfections.
