FAQs
Q: Why should I purchase a Pet Personal History?
A: There are many reasons. First and foremost, to show off your pet! Some other reasons: Pet Personal Histories make wonderful gifts. They are a great way to commemorate special events in the life of your pet. If you have taken a special trip with your pet, introduced a new pet into your home, or participated in a pet show, horse show or other big event, wouldn't you like to have a printed, fully illustrated record to keep forever? A Pet Personal History can also form a lasting memorial to a beloved pet who is no longer with you.
Q: What's the difference between a Pet Personal History and a photo album?
A: All the difference in the world. A Pet Personal History is a high-quality, beautifully printed, professionally designed and sturdily bound printed book, just like any full-color book you might have on your bookshelf.

A: Yes, we encourage you to be creative. It's your book - include whatever you like!
Q: Do I have a choice of sizes?
A: Yes, there are several sizes available. Choose one that fits your needs and budget.

See the different sizes here.
Q: How long will my book be?
A: That's up to you. You can have any number of pages, starting with 20.
Q: What will the cover look like?

Q: Why should I hire Pet Personal Histories? Can't I just make a book myself online?
A: Yes, you can make your own book, but this is more time-consuming
than you might guess. If you are not an experienced writer/designer,
mistakes could creep in, and your book won't have a polished,
professional look. With Pet Personal Histories, you can be assured that
you are working with personal historians who have over 25 years of book
production experience.
Q: Can I update my book after it's printed?
A: Yes, we are always happy to add new information or photos and print an updated version of your book.
