Hi, I'm Anastasia — founder of Petslify.
When my pug Coco crossed the rainbow bridge after 14 wonderful years, the silence at home was crushing. I looked everywhere for a plush that actually felt like her — something that captured her face, her markings, the way she looked. But everything I found was tiny, overpriced, or stiffly mass-produced. Nothing came close.
So I dusted off my sewing machine, recruited my parents and siblings, and turned our spare room into a small family workshop. I made Coco myself.
When I held that first plush, I understood something I hadn't been able to put into words: what grieving pet owners need isn't a generic toy, it's something that looks like them.
I realized I wasn't alone in that feeling. Every day, millions of pet owners go through the same grief — the loss of an animal who was family, not just a pet. And every day, they search for something to hold onto. Something that looks like them. Something real.
In 2022, I turned that first handcrafted plush into Petslify — a belief that every pet deserves to be remembered with the same love they gave.
Since then, Petslify has grown into a real company, family-owned and managed, not a spare room, with our own dedicated workshop and a team of skilled artisans who hand-craft every single order from scratch.
We are not a large corporation processing thousands of orders on an assembly line. We are a family business, and that difference shows in every plush we make.
Here is what every Petslify customer receives — things you will not find bundled together anywhere else at this price:
A 14-inch handcrafted custom plush starting at $159 — larger and less expensive than anything comparable in the market, where similar products start at $210 or more for a smaller 10-inch size
Sneak Peek preview before shipping — you see detailed photos of your finished plush and approve it before it ever leaves our studio. If anything needs adjusting, we fix it. Free.
Edits during production — we revise until it looks exactly like your pet. No extra charges, no back-and-forth fees.
A premium gift crate box — every order arrives beautifully packaged, ready to give or keep. Other brands charge up to $40 for this separately.
A lifetime warranty* — covering fading and defects, for as long as you own your plush. No other leading custom pet plush company offers this.
30-day money-back guarantee* — if you are not completely satisfied after your plush arrives, we will refund you in full. No questions asked.
We make custom stuffed animals for dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, and more. If you have clear photos, we can create it — regardless of breed, coloring, or markings.
Since 2022, Petslify has fulfilled over 5,000 orders. We ship to all countries worldwide, with customers across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Europe, and the UAE.
Most of our customers come to us through one of the hardest moments of their lives — the loss of a beloved pet. We take that responsibility seriously. Every plush that leaves our studio carries the same intention I had when I made Coco: to give someone back something they thought they'd lost forever.
Whether you are honoring a pet who has passed, celebrating one who is still by your side, or searching for the most meaningful gift you can give to someone grieving a pet loss — Petslify exists for that moment.
We handcraft each custom stuffed animal from your photos. We let you see it before it ships. We stand behind it for life.
Because I know exactly what it means to need something that looks like them.
— Anastasia, Founder of Petslify
Each plush animal is handcrafted by our team of talented artists to capture everything that makes your animal unique.
