When Fido leaves this mortal coil for the big farm in the sky, when Fluffy doesn’t wake from her afternoon nap, when a beloved gerbil takes his last run on the exercise wheel, the grieving humans are left behind to mourn. If your pets are a much-loved part of the family and you want to keep them with you, Get Stuffed offers you an even better choice than simple taxidermy. By turning your pet into a useful household object, he remains as beautiful—and valuable—as he was in life.

Whether it’s a doggie TV-remote caddy, a kitty foot-warmer (batteries required!), or gerbil wind chimes, these one-of-a-kind projects ensure that every dearly departed pet enjoys the same friend-to-the-end usefulness he did in his living years. With Get Stuffed , you never have to say good-bye.
