How It Works
Wool Base: Building the Structure
Every portrait begins with a sturdy wool base that forms the structure of your pet’s face and body. This foundation ensures the portrait has the right shape and proportions.
How It Works
Customized Eyes: Hand-Painted Details
Your pet’s eyes are the heart of their portrait. Each pair of eyes is meticulously hand-painted to capture their unique expression and personality.
How It Works
Customized Nose: Handmade Clay Feature
The nose is crafted with care using clay. Each nose is sculpted by hand to match your pet’s unique shape, texture, and color, adding a touch of realism and charm.
How It Works
Customized Mouth: Tongue, Teeth, and Tiny Details
The mouth is a focal point of your pet’s personality. We carefully sculpt the tongue, teeth, and even the tiny teeth using clay to ensure every detail is perfect. Whether your pet’s mouth is open or closed, we’ll capture their unique expression.
How It Works
Realistic Fur: Mixed and Planted by Hand
To achieve the most realistic look, we carefully mix wool fibers to match the exact colors and tones of your pet’s fur. Each strand is then planted little by little, layer by layer, to create a lifelike texture and depth.
How It Works

FAQ
Do you ship overseas?
Yes, we ship all over the world.
How long will it take to get my orders?
As each Pet For Life is handmade, the process takes time. Our current estimated turnaround time is 2-3 months for completion(refer to the product page for specific estimates), with an additional 2-4 weeks for shipping, depending on your location. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
How are Pet For Life made?
Each Pet For Life is custom-made exclusively for your pet using the needle felting technique with 100% natural, soft wool. Needle felting involves compressing wool fibers together by hand to create specific textures and shapes. The nose and mouth of each Pet For Life are also handmade. Full-body Pet For Life include a wireframe to support the stability and mobility of the paws and tail.
How do we make sure your are happy with your petforlife friend?
Throughout the production process, we'll send you pictures and videos for review. If you have any concerns, we'll discuss and make modifications to ensure your Pet For Life closely resembles your pet. We pay attention to detail and strive to capture your pet's unique qualities.
Please note that while we do our best to accurately depict your pet's likeness, slight variations in color may occur due to differences in electronic device displays. Additionally, the texture of wool material and limitations of the needle felting technique may prevent a 100% exact match.
