As mentioned, the whole process is very intricate and takes a long time to create just one plushie. First, they ask for a photo and pick the appropriate body type, choosing a matching eye color and form of the nose. Each piece of fabric is cut and sewn by hand. After that, they add the soft fur, airbrushing the unique pattern of the pet on the plushie, and voila! that's how they're made.
And the whole idea of having a copy of your pet is not only just cute, but it's also quite useful and even wholesome. Many people grieve the loss of their pets, and those pets that are not here anymore are always missed, so having the opportunity to have something close to your heart close to you physically is a gift many are happy to pay for. It provides comfort and a way to cope with the loss and creates an opportunity to reminisce about the good times.
Their Instagram shares stories about how their toy helped many people on a segment called Feature Friday. For example, one buyer's cousin with special needs (who is at the top of the list) unexpectedly lost his dog more than six months ago, and the whole experience has been very traumatic and hard to deal with. Receiving a Petsie of his favorite dog Ivy opened room for healing and coping, as well as some minor comfort.
There are tons of stories like this that you might find on their social media, so we encourage you to go there and read some of them, and the overwhelmingly positive reviews will definitely warm your heart. So head on over there and do that; you don't have to buy the toy to support the company, you can do that by following them on their respective social media pages and helping extend the reach of this wholesome mission.
