Just like human fingerprints, every dog and cat nose print is unique. Capturing it creates a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
How to Take a Nose Print
- Use food-safe colouring or non-toxic ink on a cotton pad.
- Gently dab the nose (not the nostrils).
- Press a piece of white card against the nose.
- Reward with treats immediately.
Alternative Method
Photograph the nose close-up in good lighting. A jeweller or artist can work from a clear photograph to create an engraved piece.
Nose Print Keepsakes
- Nose print jewellery: Engraved onto silver pendants, charms, or keyrings.
- Framed print: The actual nose print mounted and framed.
- Clay impression: Press the nose gently into soft clay. The bumpy texture is unique and fascinating.
Nose prints are particularly meaningful as memorial keepsakes. Take one while your pet is young and healthy — you’ll never regret having it.
