5 Ways To Take Your Pet Wherever You Go
Whether you're off to work, running errands, or going on a vacation, here are five fun and creative ways to keep your pet close to your heart no matter where you are!
As pet lovers, we know how tough it can be to leave our furry friends behind when we're out and about. Whether you're off to work, running errands, or going on a vacation, here are five fun and creative ways to keep your pet close to your heart no matter where you are!
1. Sip and Smile: Put Them on a Travel Mug
As you go about your day, sip your favorite beverage from a custom travel mug featuring your pet's adorable face.
That way, your pet’s encouragement can cheer you on even when you’re in the middle of a stressful work meeting or stuck in traffic.
🎉*Real Paw-Rent Story* 🎉: Cris found a creative way to avoid mug mix-ups at work - she printed stickers of her dog, Pippi, and decorated her mug.
2. Paws on the Line: Video Call Them
Did you know that 38% of Americans check in on their pets while at work?
Thanks to modern technology, staying connected with your pet has never been easier. Set up a video call to check in on your furry friend whenever you miss them, and watch their face light up. A quick FaceTime or Zoom session can turn a rough day around as you watch them wag their tail or purr contentedly. Or, set up a pet camera to keep an eye on all of their day-to-day shenanigans.
3. Tote-ally in Love: Carry Them on your Bag
Why settle for a plain old bag when you can carry your pet with you everywhere?
Get a custom tote bag printed with your pet's portrait or deck out your backpack with pet stickers of their cutest smiles. That way, every time you need to grab some papers or a pen, your furry friend’s face will inspire you to live your best work (or vacation) life.
4. Wear Your Heart: Pack a T-Shirt with their Face
Going on vacation? Pack a t-shirt with your pet’s portrait on your next trip.
Whether you're lounging on the beach or exploring a new city, wearing your pet's photo on your custom t-shirt is a fun way to keep them in your thoughts and let the world meet your pet.

5. Office Pawsitivity: Create a Photo Collage
Transform your office space into a haven dedicated to your pet with a collage of your favorite photos.
You can decorate your desk, wall, or even your computer background with a collection of snapshots or pet portraits that capture your pet's personality. It's a surefire way to brighten your workday and keep your pet's spirit close.
