One pet, made official. A certificate of adoption for the day they came home, their official record — also known as, distinguishing marks, loves, known offences, status — or an award for outstanding service in the post they hold. Their portrait engraved, the household's seal with a paw at its heart, an inked stamp. Type the facts and the document sets itself while you watch.

Made properly

Set by a typesetter that measures every line — the name sized to fit, the dossier's rows with their dotted leaders, the sentence wrapped to the page — with an engraved portrait from our own library, a seal drawn for the household, and the range's lettering, papers and backgrounds. When the record is long, the sheet tightens rather than cuts.

  • A certificate of adoption, signed and witnessed. This is to certify that Biscuit, a Cocker Spaniel, was welcomed into the Thompson household on 14 May 2021, and is hereby declared, for the record, a very good boy. The household's seal beneath, a paw at its heart, your signatures either side, and an inked stamp at the head.
  • The official record: the whole dossier. Also known as, born, came home, colour, weight, distinguishing marks, loves, known offences, official title — and the status, confirmed. Every row set with dotted leaders like a proper form; a long entry wraps under itself and the record never runs off the sheet.
  • An engraving-style portrait. Thirty-two animals from our own engraved library — from the Labrador and the cockapoo to the ginger tabby, the tortoise and the budgie — drawn in the sheet's ink: black on cream and clay, white on midnight. Or leave the portrait off and let the words do it.

Questions

Can I use my own photo?
Not on this print: the portrait is one of our engravings so that every sheet prints crisply at any size. Choose the animal nearest to yours, or leave the portrait off.
What goes on the award?
The post they hold — Chief Nap Officer, Head of Security, Minister for Noise — set large in the accent, and a citation of up to ninety letters in your own words. The seal and the signatures are the same as the certificate's.
Can I change it later?
Yes. Keep the link to your design and open it again — a new offence, a new title — and order another. Nothing is drawn by hand. The share link carries the whole design, so it keeps working; an unfinished design saved at the basket is kept for 90 days, and a bought print's approved artwork is kept for reorders.
