For The Pet You're Still Missing

7 Reasons Grieving Pet Parents Choose Cuddle Clones

There is no right way to miss them. This isn't about moving on, and it isn't a fix for the loss. Ask the pet parents who ordered one and you hear the same seven reasons — and none of them are about a plush.

Still have their photos on your phone? That is all it takes to begin. Old photos work too.

What Pet Parents Say Most “I now get to hold him and spend that extra time with him.” — Terri S., verified customer
01

You want to hold them, not just look at them

Photos do not weigh anything. Ashes sit in a box on a shelf. What you actually miss is the physical part — the shape of them in your lap, something of them in your hands. A Cuddle Clone is the only kind of memorial you can pick up.

02

You want to see them in their spot again

The foot of the bed. Their corner of the couch. The passenger seat.

Nothing fills the absence — nothing does. But the room stops looking wrong when something of them is sitting where they always sat.

03

You don't want to forget the small things

The exact color of their eyes. The ear that never stood up right. The white patch shaped like nothing in particular. Memory softens the specifics faster than anyone expects, and photos flatten them. A Cuddle Clone keeps those details in three dimensions — their markings, their proportions, the face you know by heart.

04

You want something that will still be here years from now

Flowers wilt. Candles burn down. The clay paw print chips at the edges.

Grief does not run on a schedule, and most of what people hand you to get through it is not built for the long version of it. You are not looking for something to carry you through this month.

A Cuddle Clone is made for the years after. Still on the bed next winter. Still in the room when talking about them stops hurting and starts feeling good instead.

05

You miss having them near you

It is not always one big thing you miss. Sometimes it is just knowing they were there.

Curled up beside you while you watched TV. Following you from room to room. Sleeping close enough that you could reach over and touch them without thinking.

A Cuddle Clone cannot bring that back. But having something made in their likeness nearby can make the quiet feel a little less empty.

06

You want a memorial that feels personal to them

Their collar in a drawer. Their ashes on a shelf. A framed photo on the wall.

They all matter. But your pet was not generic, and the way you remember them is not generic either.

The crooked ear. The markings around their eyes. That one expression that was unmistakably theirs. A Cuddle Clone is made around the details that made your pet your pet.

07

You want to keep a piece of them in your everyday life

Grief has a strange way of turning someone who was part of every single day into photographs and memories.

But you do not want them tucked away.

You want something you can see when you walk into the room. Something you can sit beside. Something that still has a place in the home they helped make yours.

A Cuddle Clone gives their memory somewhere to live besides your phone, a box, or a shelf.

What Pet Parents Tell Us

★★★★★

I am SO very happy with my Charlie Cuddle Clone. I honestly get chills every time I look at him. You did such a fantastic job on recreating him. I now get to hold him and look at him and spend that extra time with him that I didn't get when I had to put him to sleep. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

All the markings were done so beautifully and really capture my sweet Chica's essence. I love the weighted feel, it's so realistic when holding her. This is my 3rd cuddle clone order and I have always been very happy with the quality and accuracy they provide!

We lost my 6yr old doberman to Dialated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) in June. It was sudden and without warning. We have been so heartbroken. I ordered a Cuddle Clone of my guy. They did a great job, little things, like I wish his nose was bigger, but all in all I am pleased with my purchase. Makes me happy to hold him.

Gryffon came home the day I got my cuddle clone. I balled my eyes out. He looks so much like my boy it's unreal. I lost him way too soon and have been having a hard time with him being gone, so has his brother. Seeing my other little guy Shadow happy again when he saw the cuddle clone turned on the waterworks again. I'm very glad I got one.

Losing my little Lucy was one of the hardest times and that night I put in the order. This will keep her close and provide comfort to me and my two other fur babies for many years. Thank you.

Wrote your CC Team yesterday...I'm really happy with our CC of our dog Kava, who passed away a couple of months ago. I just wanted a physical remembrance of him beyond his ashes and photos. You guys did a wonderful job, and I'm grateful.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take to receive my Cuddle Clone?

Standard creation time is 8 weeks. You will have an opportunity to expedite creation and delivery time at checkout. Depending on your selection, you could receive it within 2 weeks.

What size will my Cuddle Clone be?

Every Cuddle Clone is sized to your pet's actual breed — anywhere from 4 to 24 inches in length (excluding the tail), all at one fair price no matter the size. Small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.) typically run 4 to 8 inches; dogs and cats typically run 11 to 24 inches; horses and other large animals typically run 20 to 24 inches. We don't shrink your pet down to a keepsake — we build real proportions and real presence, so your Cuddle Clone feels like your pet is actually there with you. Exact size is never guaranteed, but you can request a specific size within this range in the characteristics or notes fields when placing your order.

What if I'm not happy with how it turns out?

Not happy? Send it back — we revise until you are. Add a Sneak Preview to review photos and suggest changes before it ships.

Will it hold up to being held every day?

That is exactly what it is built for. Cuddle Clones are handmade from durable plush materials — most commonly polyester and acrylic — chosen from thousands of synthetic fabrics to match your pet's coat, with water-based airbrushing for color detail. Every material and part meets the strictest safety standards, so it is safe around kids and surviving pets, and made to stay in the house for years rather than sit behind glass.

Can I keep their ashes inside it?

Yes. You can add an optional hidden zipper pouch for safe storage of your pet's ashes, so their memorial and their remains stay in one place instead of two.

What if my Clone doesn't look like my pet?

We understand your pet holds a special place in your heart, and our goal is to capture that essence in plush form. While our skilled artisans strive for the highest resemblance, a Cuddle Clone is a heartwarming tribute, not a carbon copy. However, if you don't love it, just let us know and we'll give you 100% of your money back.

Do you ship outside the United States?

Yes! Our website is set up for international ordering, and international customers can pay with either credit card or PayPal. Please note that you may be required by your country of origin to pay duties and taxes when you receive your order; Cuddle Clones is not responsible for these fees as they are imposed by your country's government.

Can I add a scent to my Custom Plush Clone?

Yes! For an additional calming experience, you can infuse your plush with a soothing Lavender or Chamomile scent. These premium botanicals are mixed directly into the stuffing for a gentle aroma that is completely non-toxic and safe for your home. Because we use real aromatic properties rather than harsh chemicals, the fragrance will naturally soften and diminish over time.

My pet passed a while ago. Is it too late — or strange — to do this now?

Neither. Pet parents order Cuddle Clones days after a loss and years after one. Grief does not run on a schedule, and neither does deciding you want something to hold. All we need is photos — old ones are fine, and a handful is enough.

Now picture the day the box arrives.

You lift them out. The shape of their face. The markings you know by heart. The proportions that were only ever theirs. Pet parents tell us this is the part they were not ready for — how much it matters to simply have them in the room again.
