A pet loss gift you can send today.
A thoughtful pet loss gift doesn’t have to be shipped. At rainbowbridgevideos.com you upload one photo of their pet, add their name and a few words, and pay $9.99 once. Usually within about 10 minutes you get a short Rainbow Bridge video of their pet walking toward the bridge and into the light, a private gift page to send them, and a printable card with a QR code to the video.
What they receive
- The video: about 15 seconds, vertical, with soft piano music. Their pet walks across a meadow toward the rainbow bridge, looks back once and walks into the light, ending with the pet’s name and years if you add them.
- A private gift page: the video, then “For Sarah”, your message and the pet’s name. Nothing about you, no prices, nothing to sign up for. They can save the video from there.
- A printable card: a 5 × 7 inch PDF with the pet’s photo, your message and a QR code that opens the video — to print and hand over, or tuck into a card of your own.
How to send it
- Find one clear photo of just their pet (no people in it).
- On the order form, tick This is a gift for someone, then add their name and your message if you like.
- Pay $9.99 once. Your card is only charged once the video is ready; if it can’t be made, you pay nothing.
- We email you the gift page link and the card. Watch it first, then send the link by text or email, or print the card.

A video or a physical gift?
Both are kind. What fits depends on how far away you are, how soon you want it to arrive, and whether they’d rather look at their pet or not yet.
| Gift | Good when | Cost and timing |
|---|---|---|
| Rainbow Bridge video + gift page | You’re far away, or you want something that arrives today. They can watch it on their phone and share it with family. | $9.99, ready in about 10 minutes |
| Printable card (comes with the video) | You’ll see them in person, or they’d rather hold something than open a link. The QR code on it opens the video. | Included with a gift video |
| Framed photo or custom portrait | They like having their pet on the wall. A portrait from an artist takes a week or more. | About $20–150, days to weeks |
| Memorial night light or candle | Something quiet for the evenings; good for people who don’t want to look at photos yet. | About $15–40, a few days |
| A plant or tree | They have a garden or a favourite spot the pet liked. Something that keeps growing. | About $20–60 |
| Paw print or nose print kit | Only useful before the burial or cremation, or from the vet at the last appointment. | About $15–30 |
| A donation in the pet’s name | They care about rescue or a local shelter. Many shelters send a card to the family. | Any amount |
| A handwritten card | Always right, on its own or with any gift. Use the pet’s name and one memory. | A few dollars |
Prices for physical gifts are typical ranges from online shops in the US, as a rough guide.
When a video isn’t the right gift
- If the loss is only hours old and they can’t look at photos yet, a card or flowers may be gentler. The gift page link keeps; you can send it later.
- If you don’t have a clear photo of the pet on its own, choose something else rather than asking at a raw moment.
- If they don’t use a phone much, print the card: the QR code lets someone in the family open the video for them.
What to write with it
Use the pet’s name and, if you can, one small memory. Short is fine. If you’re stuck, we wrote 40 pet sympathy messages you can copy — for a dog, a cat, a friend, a coworker or a sudden loss.
Quick answers
What is a good gift for someone who lost a pet?
Something that says their pet mattered: a framed photo, a plant, a donation in the pet’s name, a handwritten card — or a short Rainbow Bridge video of their pet made from one photo, which you can send the same day as a private link with your message and a printable card.
Is it okay to give a gift when someone’s pet dies?
Yes. For many people a pet was family, and a small gift or a card tells them their grief is real. Keep it simple and personal, use the pet’s name, and don’t expect a reply.
How do I send the Rainbow Bridge video as a gift?
Tick “This is a gift for someone” when you order, add their name and a message if you like, and pay $9.99 once. When the video is ready (usually within about 10 minutes) we email you a private gift page link to send them and a printable 5 × 7 inch card with a QR code.
Will they see my email or what I paid?
No. The gift page shows the video, your message, their name and the pet’s name and years. It never shows your email, the price or anything else about the order.
How do I get a photo of their pet without spoiling the surprise?
Most people already have one: a photo they posted, one in a family chat, or one you took yourself. Pick a clear photo of just the pet, with no people in it. If you have none, it’s fine to ask a family member quietly.
Does the gift cost more?
No. A gift video is the same $9.99 (or $19.99 for 3 videos), and your card is only charged once the video is ready.
