Common questions

Is this actually personalized, or just a template?: Actually personalized. We start with the photo of the pet you upload and generate an original illustrated portrait in your chosen style. Watercolor pet portraits are something families frame and keep — particularly for pet sympathy, where the illustrated portrait becomes a memorial. No template, no name-swap.
What do you write in a pet sympathy card?: Treat it as real grief. Pet loss gets minimized constantly. Name the pet. Mention a specific thing about them — how they greeted people, where they slept, the trick they did. Skip 'they're in a better place' and 'at least they had a good life' — most pet owners find those phrases hollow. Stuck? Tap AI Message.
Can the pet portrait be framed?: Yes. Pigeon Post pet portraits — particularly for pet sympathy — are often framed by recipients. The illustrated cover of the card becomes a keepsake on a shelf or in a photo box. The card's interior message and QR can still be opened and used too.
What's the QR code on the card?: Optional — record a 15-second voice or video message. For pet cards specifically, a voice memo (especially for pet sympathy) lands harder than a printed message — you can say things out loud you can't write down.
How much does a card cost?: $19.99/year subscription, then $1.78 per card. Your first card is free.
Can I send the card without subscribing?: Yes — your first card is free, no subscription required.
