Pet Memorial Options: Honouring the Life and Legacy of Your Beloved Companion
Losing a pet is an incredibly emotional experience. Our pets are more than just animals—they’re family, friends, and loyal companions. When they pass away, finding the right way to honour their memory can help with the grieving process and keep their spirit alive for years to come. At Gemini Genetics, we understand the depth of the human-animal bond and offer compassionate support and innovative options for pet memorialisation.
Why Pet Memorials Matter
Creating a pet memorial is a meaningful way to:
- Celebrate your pet’s unique personality and the joy they brought to your life
- Process grief and find comfort during a difficult time
- Keep cherished memories close, providing ongoing comfort and connection
Popular Pet Memorial Options

Genetic Preservation: A Modern Memorial Option
While traditional memorials are deeply meaningful, some owners seek a way to keep their pet’s legacy alive on a genetic level. This is where Gemini Genetics offers a truly unique memorial option: genetic preservation and the possibility of future pet cloning.
How Genetic Preservation Works
- Sample Collection: After your pet passes away, small skin samples (such as ear skin) are collected by your vet within 5 days and kept chilled (never frozen).
- Preservation & Storage: Gemini Genetics preserves your pet’s DNA and, if you wish, cultures cells for long-term storage.
- No Pressure, Just Possibility: You don’t have to decide on cloning right away. Preserving your pet’s genetics simply keeps the door open for the future, offering comfort and hope during a difficult time.
Full sample taking instructions can be found here for cats and dogs – https://www.geminigenetics.com/emergency-cat-dog-instructions/
And here for horses – https://www.geminigenetics.com/emergency-horse-cloning-instructions/
Please note that horses must have samples taken for health testing. As well as the samples taken for cloning.
The Benefits of Genetic Preservation as a Memorial
- A Living Legacy: Knowing your pet’s unique genetics are safely stored can bring immense comfort and the possibility of reuniting with a genetic twin in the future.
- Peace of Mind: Many clients find solace in taking action after a loss, and genetic preservation is a proactive way to honour your pet’s memory.
