How Peartree helps
Veterinary clinics

build client relationships with Peartree.

Peartree’s clay impression kits are convenient, relationship-building tools. With minimal effort and cost, your practice can make an impression to last a lifetime: a memento that reminds pet owners of the quality of care you provide and celebrates the bond between owner and pet.

Here's how they can work best at your clinic:
  • Take an impression at milestone veterinary care visits and at euthanasia procedures. It’s one less decision for the pet owner.
  • Build the cost of the impression kit into the procedure.
  • Present the pet owner with their gift. It's that easy.

Pet owners then have the option, when they’re ready, to send their clay impression to Peartree for personalizing that suits their taste and budget. The kit container preserves the impression and all the personalizing information is enclosed.

Peartree has been delighting pet owners with our handcrafted impressions for more than 25 years. Here's what just a few of those customers had to say.

“I found Peartree Impressions back in 2011 and have been working with them ever since. I have never seen a product that comes close to matching the quality of theirs. I have done a paw impression and personalized it for every pet I have owned since finding Peartree. The incredible detail that depicts a reflection of my pet is just incredible! Thank you everyone at Peartree for sharing your talent with the pet parent world, you all do an amazing job. Thank you, Karen, for having the vision and holding your standards in an amazing product, we all appreciate it!!”

“Oh my goodness!! We are speechless!! We are absolutely blown away by Levi's imprint. If I didn't know it wasn't an actual physical print, I couldn't tell. I can't begin to express the comfort this brings us. My dad passed away two weeks ago today, just 6 weeks after Levi. Our hearts are shattered. Thank you so much to you and your team for putting a few of its pieces back together. We will be forever grateful.”

“I am a current worker in the veterinary industry and have always been amazed at the impressions I have seen come back. I just wanted to pass along how happy I am with the outcome of my Peartree impression for my kitty.

"We have received Honeydew's prints and we absolutely love them!!! The colours and all the details are gorgeous. We were speechless and had tears when we took it out of the box for the first time. The colours really represent Honeydew and his prints look truly authentic even with the enhancements. We truly appreciate all the attention to detail and for all your support and compassion to us as we went through this process. Thank you so much again for this beautiful keepsake!"

"I have had the pleasure of working with Peartree for decades as both a veterinary employee watching clients receive their beautiful paw prints and a grateful recipient of a number of my own mementos from lost fur-kids... This most recent piece of art you talented folks created surpassed even my expectations! So SO worth the wait and the cost! Please, I cannot thank you enough! ❤️"

"Thank you to all of you so much for the beautiful impression that you did for our sweet Henrik. You folks do incredible work and we’re so grateful that we brought the impression to you rather than using the other company. You can see the heart and soul that goes into each one."

"Yesterday we received the pawprint impression for my Chihuahua, Chester. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to whoever it was that worked on it. You painted his little toes to match his actual toes and the plaque to match his fur. Chester was 17 years old, and this will be something we will treasure always."

I would like to thank you for the wonderful job you did on Meka’s footprints and the enclosure of his fur. It made me feel so much better about his passing. He was a wonderful little guy and made me very happy for 16 years.
Shirly P.
"We have received Tabi’s impression and would like to thank you for the beautiful memento you’ve created. The dark black colour reminds me of the dark black coat he had when he was young. The two paw prints, one of his front paws and one of his back paws, are nicely defined and lifelike. I’m so glad that I found your impression kit at our primary veterinarian’s office."
Erika K.
“Our clinic has collaborated with Peartree for years to capture lasting memories of our patients through their outstanding artistry. Their services provide a unique and special way of honouring one's pets. Their new pastel line includes a beautiful variety of colours, which have provided a quick turnaround & cost-friendly option. There is great fluidity throughout the team with caring for attention to detail, and ensuring any errors are smoothed out prior to production. With this comes kind communication. It is a pleasure to offer clients Peartree's options as a staple aftercare option in our clinic.”

frequently asked questions.

Find answers to some of the common questions Peartree receives.

How does a pet owner personalize their impression with Peartree?

Fill out the personalizing information card that came with your impression kit. Then ship the completed card with your pet’s imprint to our studio. Be sure to note the tracking number provided by your shipping company!

Once your imprint arrives at our studio, we'll contact you to confirm receipt,review your order details and take payment for personalizing. Your imprint will go into the queue to be personalized and when it's completed, we'll ship it back to you.

What happens if pet owners don’t want to send their imprints for personalizing?

The natural clay in our kits is intended to be kiln fired and personalized. However, if a pet owners chooses, they can allow the clay to air dry by removing the lid and plastic seal. They should leave it in its container in a safe place. Dried clay is quite fragile so it's important to avoid handling the dried impression if possible. Personalizing is available even if the clay imprint has dried out completely.

We purchased several wholesale kits. Do we need to use them immediately?

No. Our kits are packaged so they can be purchased ahead of time. It is best to keep the container sealed until you are ready to use it. However, if a kit has been opened but is not used, replace the plastic seal and container lid. If the clay isn’t soft enough when you are ready to use it, you may soften it by referring to the “Can I make the clay softer?” question below.

What is the difference between the Pastels by Peartree™ impressions and the Peartree original impressions?

Peartree original impressions refers to our original impression kit and premium personalizing options, including 31 standard imprint and background colors (including Snow White), custom colors, pattern matches and Yin Yang color combinations. This customization makes these impressions more labor-intensive, so they cost a little more and take a little longer than the Pastels by Peartree™ impressions.

Pastels by Peartree™ impressions utilize our exclusive tinted clay in six pastel colors. Once they arrive at our studio, these impressions are simply trimmed, glazed and kiln fired. These impressions receive the same care as our original impressions, however the process is simpler, which results in cost and time savings.

What is the best way to take an impression of a large pet’s paw?

Take off the lid and plastic seal from your kit and place it on the floor. Position your pets foot on the clay disc then lift the opposite leg so weight is shifted to the imprint foot. Gently but firmly press down with the heel of the hand to ensure all the digits are captured. You may require the help of another person to make this easier.

The pet owner has an ink print of their pet’s paw, but no clay impression. Can they still get a Peartree impression made?

Yes. We can create a Peartree referencing the ink print. Provide us with a photo of the ink print with a ruler next to it for scale. Our artists will carefully represent the size, shape and texture from your pet’s ink print. These impressions can be made and personalized with either the original Peartree or Pastel’s by Peartree ™ all-natural clay.

The pet owner already has an impression and would like a copy made. Can Peartree make another identical clay impression?

Yes. Peartree has a special process to make duplicate impressions. We take a mold of the original imprint then transfer it to a clay disc. This process allows us to make as many copies as you would like, while ensuring that the size, shape, and texture of the imprint are carefully replicated. These impressions can be made and personalized with either the original Peartree or Pastel’s by Peartree ™ all-natural clay.

If a pet owner is shipping from outside of Canada, is there anything they should know?

Yes. If a pet owner is sending an impression for personalizing from the United States across the border into Canada, they may be asked to declare its value for customs purposes. The pet owner should indicate that the impression, in its original clay kit, is worth no more than$5.00 per kit returned. If they declare the impression kit at a higher value, any customs duties charged to Peartree will be added to their personalizing costs.
