Yes, your dog or cat can be on the family crest. Type the breed and colour, and your pet is drawn beside the shield as its supporter. Up to two pets, a free preview in about 20 seconds, and print-ready files for $5.99 once.
Pets as supporters
On a traditional coat of arms the figures standing on either side of the shield are called supporters: lions, stags, griffins. Putting the family dog there follows the same idea. Whoever guards the house gets to hold the shield.
How to describe your pet
- Breed first, then colour: “golden retriever”, “black and white border collie”, “ginger tabby cat”.
- One or two details help: “with a white chest”, “long-haired”, “small, with pointed ears”.
- Mixed breed? Describe what people see: “medium brown dog with a curly tail”.
- Names are not needed here. The pet’s name can go on the motto ribbon if you like — “Guarded by Biscuit”.
Mottos for a house with pets
- Home Is Where the Paws Are
- Guarded by Biscuit
- Love Me, Love My Dog
- Ever Onward, After Walks
- In Dog We Trust
A gift for someone who loves their dog
A pet crest is an easy present for the person whose dog or cat is in every photo: add their surname, the pet, and a motto that sounds like them. You get a poster PDF to print and frame, and you can fix the wording later for free if you think of a better line.
