Pet Memory Books

At Wander Wild Press, we believe stories create lasting bonds. Whether it’s the wag of a tail on a trail or the pawprints left on your heart, our books preserve those memories in ways that are personal, timeless, and meaningful.


Wander Wild Pets Memory Books help families preserve the memories of their pets—through every stage of life.

Each book is custom-created to capture the small, meaningful moments that define daily life together: from daily routines, to quirks, favorite places, and quiet companionship. These are not just stories, and they are not only for remembrance. They are living memory books—designed to grow alongside your pet and remain as a lasting keepsake long after the moments have passed.

FAQs

Is the Classic Edition a finished book?

Yes. The Classic Edition is thoughtfully written, illustrated, and designed to feel complete and meaningful on its own.

Can I personalize the story?

Yes. You’ll share details and photos during personalization, and you’ll choose the story focus that best fits your pet’s journey.

How many pets are included?

The Classic Edition includes one pet per book. Options to include additional pets are available before final production.

Do you recreate photos exactly?

No. Illustrations are created in a gentle, expressive storybook style. Photos are used as reference for appearance and personality, not copied exactly.

What format is the book?

All Pet Storybooks are created as 8 in x 8 in hardcover keepsakes.

How many photos do I need to provide?

For most stories, 4–8 clear photos are ideal. Fewer photos are perfectly okay, especially for older or memorial stories. Clear, well-lit photos are more helpful than a large number of similar images.

How do I add multiple pets to my book?
