A birthday storybook starring your pet
For birthdays, gotcha days, and every 'the day you came home' celebration.
Their big day, their own story
Cake is gone in a minute. A storybook starring your dog, cat, or other pet sticks around. Pick one of our ready-made tales (for example Wild West, Under the Sea or Among the Stars), add names and a few details, and your pet is the hero.
Ready for the party
PawTale is digital, so there is nothing to ship: an online tale, a PDF, and print-ready pages. Share it at the party, send it to family, or order a printed book through Shutterfly.
Invite the whole pack
A book can include up to 10 pets and people, with one photo each. Siblings, best friends, and the humans who throw the party can all join the story.
True to who they are
PawTale is built to keep each pet true to its species, so your tabby looks like a cat and your beagle looks like a dog.
