A Living Memorial for a Beloved Pet
The loss of a pet can leave an enormous absence. They are part of our daily routines, our homes, and our families—and the memories we make with them stay with us long after they are gone.
A Little Saps Pet Sympathy Gift Tree offers a living way to remember that companionship. As the tree grows, it can become a special place to pause, remember, and honor a faithful friend.
Pet Sympathy Gifts That Honor a Special Companion
Finding the right pet sympathy gifts can be difficult because the relationship between a person and a beloved animal is so personal. A living tree acknowledges that loss while giving the recipient something meaningful to plant and care for in their pet’s memory.
A Pet Sympathy Gift Tree can be sent in memory of:
A beloved dog
A cherished cat
A horse or other companion animal
A longtime family pet
A friend or family member’s pet
A pet who was an important part of someone’s life for many years
Whether you’re planting a tree in memory of your own pet or searching for gifts for the loss of a pet, a living memorial recognizes just how much that companion was loved and how deeply their absence can be felt.
Personalize Your Pet Sympathy Gift Tree
Every Pet Sympathy Gift Tree includes your choice of a pre-printed pet sympathy or memorial gift tag and a keepsake card featuring your personal message.
Your message might include the pet’s name, share a favorite memory, acknowledge how deeply they were loved, or simply let someone know you are thinking of them during a difficult time.
Like other pet condolence gifts, the message doesn’t need to say everything. A few personal words acknowledging the pet and the significance of the loss can mean a great deal.

Why Plant a Pet Memorial Tree?
A pet memorial tree creates a living reminder of a companion whose life was deeply intertwined with our own. It offers something tangible to care for and a place in the landscape connected with memories of a beloved pet.
Over time, the tree can become part of the home and family life that pet once shared—a quiet and lasting way to remember the love, companionship, and everyday moments they gave.
A Gift Tree Selected for Their Growing Region
Little Saps are living evergreen trees selected to grow outdoors. Because different tree varieties thrive in different climates, our tree experts choose a variety suited to the recipient’s growing region. This gives each Little Sap the best opportunity to grow and thrive in its new home.
Have a favorite tree variety in mind? You can share your preference in the Order Notes at checkout, and we’ll accommodate your request when the variety is well suited to the recipient’s growing region.

Little Saps are living evergreen trees and need an outdoor home. Place your tree outside in a sunny or partially shaded location where it can experience fresh air, natural light, and seasonal changes.
If your tree arrived in a pot: Your Little Sap can remain in the pot it arrives in for about a year before it will need a larger container or a permanent home in the ground. Be sure to remove the plastic drainage plug from the bottom of the pot so excess water can drain freely.
Allow the soil to dry between waterings rather than keeping it constantly wet. During periods of regular rainfall, additional watering may not be necessary, while periods of drought may require more frequent watering. Your tree will also need more water during sunny, warm weather, when it loses more moisture through transpiration, and during periods of active growth. It will generally need less water during winter or extended periods of cool, cloudy weather.
If your tree arrived in a bag: Plant your sapling directly in the ground or transfer it to an outdoor container with proper drainage. If using a container, we recommend a well-draining soil mix:
Half potting soil, ideally with slow-release fertilizer
Half pine bark mulch
Whichever option you choose, avoid overwatering. Soil should be allowed to dry somewhat between waterings, and your tree should never sit in standing water.
