At Animal Family Pet Preservation, we understand that pets hold a special place in your heart. They are more than just animals; they are family members who offer unconditional love and companionship. When the time comes to say goodbye, the emotional toll can be overwhelming. As pet lovers ourselves, we recognize how important it is to honor their memory in a meaningful way. That’s why we offer Pet Pelt Services—a unique and personal option for preserving your pet’s legacy.
What is a Pet Pelt?
A pet pelt is the preserved skin and fur of your beloved pet, offering a tactile and visual reminder of their presence. Unlike taxidermy, where the entire body is preserved in a specific pose, a pet pelt is a less rigid, more comforting way to memorialize your pet. The pelt can be kept as a soft, huggable keepsake, displayed, or stored for future generations to remember your beloved companion.
Many of our clients find solace in the simplicity of a pet pelt, as it offers a way to hold on to the familiar feel and look of their pet without the formality of full-body preservation. Our goal is to give you a comforting and dignified way to remember your pet, allowing you to keep their memory alive in your own special way.

The Preservation Process
Our pet pelt preservation process is done with the utmost care and respect. We understand that your pet was an important part of your family, and we treat each animal with the dignity it deserves. The process begins with a consultation, where we discuss your wishes and guide you through available options. Every pet is unique, and we tailor our services to meet your needs, ensuring that the final result is something that truly honors your pet.
The preservation process involves carefully removing and treating the animal hide. We use traditional animal hide tanning techniques combined with modern preservation methods to ensure the pelt maintains its softness, color, and texture. Our expert team ensures that your pet’s fur retains its natural beauty while preventing deterioration over time.
Why Choose Pet Pelt Preservation?
Grieving the loss of a pet is a deeply personal experience, and everyone finds comfort in different ways. Preserving their pet’s full body through taxidermy is the most fitting tribute for some. For others, the idea of a pet pelt offers a more subtle yet meaningful way to memorialize their companion. Here are a few reasons why families choose our pet pelt service:
- Tangible Comfort: Many people find that having their pet’s fur to touch and hold provides immense comfort during the grieving process. The softness of the fur can evoke memories of the times you spent petting and holding your animal.
- Versatility: A pet pelt offers versatility in how you choose to display or store it. Whether you want to keep it as a keepsake, frame it, or store it in a memory box, the pelt offers flexibility that fits your personal preference.
- Simpler Preservation: While taxidermy can involve complex forms and poses, preserving your pet with a pet pelt is a simpler, more natural option. This option focuses on the beauty of your pet’s fur and its tactile presence rather than capturing a specific expression or stance.
- Long-Lasting Tribute: Our animal hide tanning process ensures your pet’s pelt remains soft and preserved for many years. Our high-quality materials and careful preservation techniques are designed to last, allowing future generations to remember your beloved companion as well.
Animal Hide Tanning: The Craft Behind the Pelt
The art of animal hide tanning has been practiced for centuries, and we bring that traditional skill into our pet pelt services. Tanning is the process that transforms a raw animal hide into a stable, long-lasting material. We use only the most ethical and respectful tanning methods for your pet’s pelt. Our goal is to preserve the natural beauty of the fur while ensuring that the pelt remains soft and durable for years to come.
We handle every pet hide with meticulous care, paying attention to the unique characteristics of your pet’s fur. Whether your pet had a smooth coat, long hair, or curly fur, we make sure the preservation process enhances its natural qualities. The result is a lasting tribute to your pet that feels just as comforting as the day you last held them.
Personalizing Your Pet Pelt
We understand that every pet is unique, and the way you want to remember them is deeply personal. That’s why we offer a variety of options to help you customize your pet’s pelt. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss ways to tailor the preservation to your preferences. Some of the customization options include:
- Size and Shape: Depending on the size of your pet and your preferences, we can customize the size and shape of the pelt. Whether you want a full hide preserved or just a portion of the fur, we’ll work with you to create a keepsake that feels right for you.
- Display Options: We offer suggestions for displaying your pet’s pelt, whether you choose to keep it as a soft, comforting keepsake or want to frame it for display. We can also recommend storage solutions that will protect the pelt while allowing you to revisit it whenever you want to feel close to your pet.
- Personal Messages: Some clients choose to add a small, personalized message or engraving to their pet’s preserved pelt. This can be a favorite quote, your pet’s name, or a loving reminder of your time together.
