A custom pet plush is a miniature wool felt sculpture hand-crafted from your pet's photos. At Furfond, each custom felt plush is shaped by hand in 4", 6", or 8" sizes using pure or mixed wool, takes 3–5 weeks to craft, and starts at $139. You approve a preview photo before it ships.
Every pet leaves pawprints on our hearts, and we believe those memories deserve to be held close forever. This personalized pet plush — a custom pet stuffed animal made from your photos — captures your pet's exact coat, markings, and the expression that is unmistakably theirs.
Not a breed toy. Yours.

Pure Wool vs Mixed Wool — Which Should I Pick?
- Pure Wool → Softer, fluffier texture. Best for: long-haired breeds, fluffy cats, Pomeranians, Chow Chows, Persian cats.
- Mixed Wool → Firmer structure, crisper definition. Best for: short-haired breeds, Labs, Beagles, Shorthair cats, or any pet with distinct markings.
Not sure? Choose Mixed — it works beautifully for most coat types.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Pure and Mixed Wool?
Pure Wool uses a single fiber type for a softer, fluffier result — ideal for long-haired or fluffy-coated pets. Mixed Wool blends fibers for more structural definition — ideal for short-haired breeds or pets with complex markings. When in doubt, Mixed Wool is the safer choice as it suits most coat types.
What photos do I need to upload?
Aim for 3–5 clear photos: a straight-on face shot, a side profile, and a full-body photo. Natural light (outdoors or near a window) is best. Avoid blurry shots, heavy filters, or photos where part of your pet is hidden. The more angles, the better the likeness.
How long does it take?
Crafting takes 3–5 weeks. Shipping adds 5–10 business days (US, EU, UK) or 7–14 business days (AU, NZ, Asia). Total: approximately 4–7 weeks from order to delivery.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
We send a preview photo before we ship. If anything is off, you get one free revision — just tell us what to adjust. If the final piece still doesn't delight you, we offer a full refund, no questions asked.
Can you make a plush of a pet who has passed away?
Yes, and this is among the most meaningful pieces we make. Upload the best photos you have — even older or scanned photos work as long as the fur colour and markings are visible. Many customers order a memorial plush as a way to keep their pet's memory close.
Can I include two pets in one plush?
Single-pet plushes are our standard offering, but contact us before ordering if you'd like a two-pet piece — we'll discuss sizing and confirm pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to make a custom pet plush?
Crafting a custom wool-felt plush takes 3–5 weeks from the date your order is placed. This covers hand-sculpting, color-matching, and a final quality review. After crafting is complete, we send you a preview photo before it ships — so you can approve the likeness or request one free adjustment.
What sizes are available, and which should I choose?
The custom pet plush comes in three sizes: 4-inch (palm-sized, perfect for display on a desk or shelf), 6-inch (the most popular size — a comfortable handful), and 8-inch (ideal as a gift for children or anyone who wants something truly huggable). All sizes capture the same level of detail; choose based on how you want to display or hold it.
What materials are used?
Each plush is hand-needled from pure or blended wool felt over a flexible wire armature. Pure Wool uses 100% natural wool fiber for the softest texture; Mixed Wool blends wool with synthetic fiber for slightly more vibrant color reproduction. Both options are cruelty-free and dye-safe.
Can you make a plush of any pet?
Yes — we've made plush sculptures of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, hamsters, horses, and exotic pets. The only requirement is clear reference photos. The more distinctive your pet's markings, the more striking the finished piece.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
Every order includes a preview photo before shipping and one free revision. If the finished piece still doesn't meet your expectations, we offer a full refund — no questions asked. Our goal is a keepsake you'll love for years.
What photos should I submit?
Submit 3–5 clear, recent photos of your pet taken in natural light — no flash, no filters. Include a face-forward shot, a three-quarter view, and at least one full-body photo. Avoid heavily edited or darkly lit images, as they affect color accuracy. Smartphone photos taken outdoors on a bright day work perfectly.
