{"product_id":"portrait-chien-chat-grave-photo","title":"Your Dog or Cat's Portrait, Engraved from Their Photo — Your Pet, Engraved","description":"\u003cp\u003eMyTomette’s engraved pet portrait keeps the memory of your dog or cat, or makes a gift for someone who loves their pet. Their photo becomes a line drawing in our design tool, then we laser-engrave it in our workshop in Hyères, near Toulon in the South of France, on Salernes terracotta (ceramic), with their name or dates. Tomette 12 × 10 cm: €24.90; square tile 13 × 13 cm: €29.90; hanging hole: +€3. Engraved into the clay, not printed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYour pet’s portrait, drawn from their photo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all starts with the photo you love most: the one where he stares at you, waiting for his walk, or the one where she’s curled up asleep in the sun. In the studio on this page, our tool turns it into a line drawing within moments, designed for laser engraving. The eyes, the nose, the shape of the ears and the markings in the coat all become lines. We then engrave that drawing into the terracotta in a single tone, a deep brown, with no colour and no photographic shading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a drawn interpretation of your photo, not an exact copy. The preview shows the portrait as it will be engraved, before you order: if you’re not happy with it, create a new illustration or try another photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA gift for dog lovers and cat lovers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people talk about their cat like a flatmate; others have had their dog as their phone wallpaper for years. For them, a personalised pet photo gift hits the mark: it’s about the animal they adore, and it’s a gift for the human, not for the food bowl. It suits plenty of moments:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas, with the family dog’s portrait under the tree;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea birthday, whether it’s theirs or their dog’s tenth;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea new puppy or kitten, with the first photo at home and the date they arrived;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe retirement of an assistance dog;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea thank-you for the friend who looks after your cat during the holidays, or the breeder who entrusted you with your puppy;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea housewarming, with the portrait of the cat who already rules the new home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA keepsake to remember your dog or cat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a companion who meant so much is no longer there, people often look for something simple that keeps them present at home. The engraved portrait starts from the photo you loved most, the one where they really look like themselves. Their name and years, or a few words, sit above or below the drawing. To honour them simply, their name is often enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis personalised pet memorial can stand on a shelf, near their basket, or in the garden, where they loved to lie: it’s a decorative piece for indoors or outdoors, all year round, frost included, though it isn’t a floor tile. If you would prefer \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mytomette.fr\/en\/products\/personalised-dog-memorial-a-jamais-dans-nos-coeurs\"\u003ea dog memorial plaque without a photo, with a paw print and their name\u003c\/a\u003e, our “Dans nos cœurs” tile was designed for exactly that.

Quietly ask someone close for a photo, or choose one the person shared themselves. If you’re unsure about the words, engrave just their name: it already says what matters. Some people give this pet memorial gift in the weeks that follow, others wait for a birthday or Christmas. At checkout, enter the recipient’s address or parcel collection point: the parcel leaves with no invoice or price inside, and your order confirmation comes to you by email.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the best photo of your dog or cat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe portrait depends first and foremost on the photo.

You can also leave it out and give the portrait all the space. Short phrases read best on terracotta. For a gift, for example: “Biscuit, head of the house”, “Moka lives here” or “Welcome home Alfie, 2026”. For a keepsake: “Bramble, 2011 – 2026”, “In loving memory of Pepper”, “Always with us” or “Thank you for everything”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTomette or square tile: sizes and prices\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;margin:12px 0\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003eFormat\u003c\/th\u003e\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003eWithout hole\u003c\/th\u003e\u003cth style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003eWith hanging hole\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003eHexagonal tomette\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003e12 × 10 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003e€24.90\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003e€27.90\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003eSquare tile\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003e13 × 13 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003e€29.90\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #e2d6c3;padding:8px 10px;text-align:left\"\u003e€32.90\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tomette, the traditional Provençal shape, stands on a shelf or hangs on the wall.
