Turn the photos of your pet into a printed book in three simple steps.
Not a photo?Left out
Not a photo?Left out
Upload your photos
Your own photos from any device. Receipts and screenshots stay out of the book.
A chapter for every year
Every page is laid out for you in the order it happened. Each chapter opens with its year: “2022”.
Order your ready-to-print book
The cover writes itself: “Buddy · My Life at 5”. Order the book as it is, or change the photos and the cover first, if you like.
Inside the book
Every spread is different
One photo across a page or three side by side — each spread laid out for its photos, in the order you took them.

A Year of Your Pet's Life
Your pet is part of the family — and probably the most photographed member of it. A pet photo book brings those photos together: the first days at home, walks and trips, favorite spots and funny faces.
The book follows a year of your pet's life, with their name and age on the cover. Make a new one every year, and the books become your pet's whole story.
The Easiest Way to Make a Pet Photo Book
Upload the photos and Memories.design does the rest: the best shots are selected, duplicates removed and the photos arranged in the order they were taken.
Your book is ready to print right away — and you can still change anything before ordering if you like.
Ideas for Your Pet Photo Book
Dogs, cats, rabbits, horses — every pet has a story. Here's what people put in their pet photo books.
A year of their life
The book follows one year of your pet's life, with their name and age on the cover. One book every year becomes their whole story.
The puppy or kitten year
The first months pass fast — the first days at home, the first walk, the first toy. Keep them in one book.
Adventures together
Walks, trips, the beach, the park — the places you discovered together.
Photos from the whole family
Everyone takes photos of the pet. Collect them from all the phones and upload them together.

FAQ

What is a pet photo book?
A pet photo book is a book about your dog, cat or any other pet — a year of their life, or their whole story so far, told in photos in the order they happened.
A year of your pet's life
Tell us your pet's name and birthday, and the book is made for that year of their life — the cover shows their name and age. Make a new one every year, and the books become your pet's whole story.
What to put inside
- the first days at home
- walks, trips and favorite places
- sleeping spots, toys and funny faces
- the people and other pets they love
Photos from everyone
Collect photos from your phone, your family's phones and your camera, and upload them together — we put them in order, remove duplicates and design the book automatically. It's ready to print right away.
A pet photo book is also a lovely gift for a friend who loves their dog or cat.
Can I make a pet memory book for a pet who has passed away?
Yes. Many people make a book to remember a pet who has passed away — it's a gentle way to keep all the photos of them in one place.
Gather the photos from your phone, your computer and your family, and upload them together. We put them in order — from the first days at home to the last ones — and design the book for you, so you don't have to go through every photo yourself. You can put their name and the years on the cover.
If you'd like, you can hide any photos you don't want in the book before ordering.
Can I combine photos from several phones and cameras in one book?
Yes. Collect the photos from everyone — your phone, your partner's, the grandparents', a camera — and upload them together. We put all photos in chronological order by the date they were taken and remove duplicates. Tip: if a camera's clock was set wrong, its photos may end up in the wrong place — you can move them in the preview.
Can I order extra copies as gifts?
Yes. You can order several copies of the same book in one order, or reorder it later from My Orders. One order goes to one address, so to send a copy to someone else — for example, to grandparents — place a separate order with their address.
How many photos can I put in a photo book?
From 23 to about 1,770 photos. The number of pages (from 23 to 295) depends on how many photos you have: each page holds one photo or a collage of up to six.
What size is the photo book and what paper is used?
- Size: 21 × 21 cm (8.3 × 8.3 in), square
- Hardcover with matte laminate, 2.5 mm thick
- Pages: 200 gsm glossy paper
- From 23 to 295 pages, up to about 1,770 photos
- The title and year are printed on the spine
How long does delivery take?
Your order goes through three stages: moderation (1–2 days), printing (about 5 business days) and shipping (up to 7 business days to the US, up to 10 business days or more elsewhere). In total, plan for about 2–3 weeks. During the holiday season it may take longer. When the book ships, you'll get an email with a tracking link.
