What is K9 Hearts?
Who We Serve
K9 Hearts is a grief-informed memorial and healing platform created to support dog lovers through the emotional experience of losing a beloved companion. We provide personalized memorial art, healing portraiture, custom storytelling, and remembrance resources that honor the bond between people and their dogs. Our work is designed to preserve identity, love, and memory while offering a gentle, meaningful way to hold grief with care and dignity.
K9 Hearts was founded from lived experience and professional knowledge in psychology, trauma support, and emotional healing. Every service is created with the understanding that grief is not something to “fix,” but something to be supported, witnessed, and honored.
What We Offer
K9 Hearts offers a range of personalized memorial services and grief-supporting creative works, including custom memorial portraits, Forest Healing memorial artwork, Classic Memorial photography, personalized written stories and tributes, healing journals, and digital remembrance keepsakes. Each piece is created using the client’s own photographs and memories, with strict identity preservation and emotional integrity.
Our services are designed to transform existing photos into lasting memorials that feel truthful, calming, and emotionally supportive. Every portrait and story is created with care, respect, and attention to the individuality of each dog and the bond they shared with their family..
What We Are Not
K9 Hearts does not provide medical treatment, psychological diagnosis, or clinical grief counseling. Our work is not a substitute for therapy or professional mental health care. We do not claim to cure grief or replace professional support services.
Instead, K9 Hearts provides grief-informed memorial art and emotionally supportive creative services that complement personal healing journeys and offer a meaningful way to honor love, memory, and connection.
How We Support Healing
K9 Hearts supports healing through art-based remembrance, visual identity preservation, and emotionally grounded storytelling. Our work is rooted in psychological principles that recognize memory, symbolism, and creative expression as powerful tools for emotional regulation and grief integration.
By creating memorials that feel safe, familiar, and truthful, we help clients reconnect with love rather than loss alone. Each piece is designed to offer comfort, stability, and a sense of continued bond, allowing grief to be held gently without pressure, urgency, or expectation.
