Pet Casting Process
Paw moulds are created by immersing your pets paw into a solution of Alginate. Alginate is made from seaweed and is the same material dentists use to make casts of your teeth. It is 100% natural and safe for your pet should they ingest any.
​
Your pets paw will be covered in Vaseline so that your pets fur doesn't stick to the mould and once inserted it will set in approximately 2 minutes so they won't need to sit still for too long.
​
He or She does need to be comfortable with having their paw placed in liquid. It is a good idea to practice before attending your paw casting session to make sure your pet is comfortable with the procedure.
​
Once the mould is created it is then filled with Plaster of Paris and left to set before the mould is removed.
​
The cast needs to be left to dry for 2 weeks before it can be painted. Your lovely keepsake should be ready between 4-6 weeks after the mould has been taken.
