    Select the finished size and the production pace that fits your occasion.

  3. Tell Us What Makes Them Special

    Add notes about markings, posture, expression, collar, outfit, or accessories.

Inside the DragonMoss Studio

Every custom pet plush moves through pattern making, hand sewing, shaping, trimming, color work, and a final photo comparison. Our artists keep your reference photos close throughout the process so markings, posture, and expression stay personal to your pet.

What Photos Work Best?

Clear references help our artists understand your pet’s shape, markings, expression, posture, and familiar details.

The more clearly we can see the face, coat, and silhouette, the more useful the reference is.

Made to remember

A Meaningful Pet Memorial Gift

Many customers create a pet memorial gift to remember a dog, cat, or beloved companion who has passed away. A custom pet memorial plush can preserve the shape, colors, markings, and familiar details shown in real photos. For anyone looking for pet memorial gifts with photo, a dog memorial gift, or a cat memorial gift, our team approaches each keepsake with patience and care.

What a realistic looking stuffed animal. My mom is so excited to have it. Thank you for giving her a dog she can keep in assisted living.
