# Custom Stuffed Animals Send in a Picture of Your Pooch and Get a One-of-a-Kind Stuffed Replica By Ryan Fowler | Published 2013-03-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-stuffed-animals References: [gizmodiva](http://www.gizmodiva.com/pets/transfigure-your-dog-into-a-custom-stuffed-animal.php) & [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/toys-games/a-custom-stuffed-animal-that-resembles-your-pup/) If you have ever wanted custom stuffed animals that resemble your own pets then you are in luck. With a few pictures of your dog and $125, ShelterPups will create an exact replica custom stuffed animal of your favorite canine. ShelterPups take time and care to ensure that they re-create your dog and all of his/her features perfectly, from color to those cute spots on their back and even right down to the unique character in their eyes. I love my dog to death and this would be a great gift, although I don't see myself spending the $125 to get a stuffed version of him custom crafted. With that said, many people have and will continue to get this done so they can have a keepsake of their favorite pooch that lasts forever. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Custom Stuffed Animals:** Offering custom stuffed animal replicas of pets presents an opportunity for the personalized merchandise trend. - **Pet-customer Experiences:** Providing a unique replica experience of pets may lead to a new trend in pet-customer experiences. - **Sustainable Keepsakes:** Creating sustainable keepsakes may emerge as a new trend, using materials that reflect the evolving environment-conscious mindset. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Retail:** Pet owner's spending on personalized and unique items is an opportunity for retailers to tap into the growing consumer trend of personalized merchandise. - **Toy Industry:** Custom replicated toy animals pose an opportunity for the toy industry to offer sustainable and eco-friendly products that are unique to the individual customer. - **Pet Industry:** This custom pet-replica experience presents an opportunity for the pet industry to fulfill the growing need for personalized pet merchandise and experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recordable Stuffed Animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubido-factory.md) - [Custom Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-mom.md) - [Dog-ShapedLuxurious Monogram Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pooch-bag.md) - [Personalized Pet-Inspired Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petinspired-ornament.md) - [Plush Pet Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jellycat-dog-hotel.md) - [Spooky Charming Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crown-paw.md) - [Large Animal Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polar-bear-oversized-plush-cuddle-animal-body-pillow.md) - [Custom Dog Food Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justfoodfordogs.md) - [AI Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawmypet.md)
