If you are as insanely obsessed with your pets as I am, you are going to love my latest local find, Silver Pet Prints Okanagan!

Suzanne, the former environmental consultant turned super mom turned entrepreneur, started her own business in January of 2017, opening up Smallprint Okanagan. She followed it up a year later with the animal version as client demand grew.
Suzanne will take your pets actual paw print and turn it into a pendant, keychain, or cufflinks!

Not deterred by my dogs and their hatred of having their paws touched, Suzanne happily took Hudson and Lucy’s prints with her Inkless Print Kit.
You can also do this part on your own, but I leave things to the professionals.
Also, inkless mean no mess. Win!
She’s such a superstar, even Hudson stood still for her… mostly.

The process is completed from her home studio here in Kelowna, all under the watchful eye of her sidekick, Ben.
The prints are then scanned into her computer and miniaturized. There’s printing, stamps, kilns and many other tricks of the trade (which I swore not to reveal) until voila! Your very own, beautifully handcrafted sterling silver piece is ready.
I was so in love with the keychain she created for me, I had to share (because I know you guys are as crazy as me about stuff like this). It is truly the best way to bring your pet everywhere with you.

She’s done everything from guinea pigs to horses.
“I can basically do any animal print. I like a challenge.”
I couldn’t think of a better gift for yourself or for people who are hard to buy for.
