She made the 10-pound terrier into a pillow. Well, the dog’s ashes at least. Moore hasn’t stopped there and now runs a company that furnishes tons of worldwide orders for dead pet pillows.
The company is called Soft-hearted Pillows, and Moore has been making a killing. She takes the ashes of dead dogs, cats, birds and even rabbits and sews them into embroidered pillows with the animal’s name on it. It’s a treasured keepsake, albeit a creepy one, Moore admits.
“I can still have her with me at night. I can throw her on a couch if I need to,” she said. “It is a completely different idea and some people are a bit creeped out by it.”
Most pet lovers can’t seem to let go of their dead four-legged friends so the idea isn’t so far fetched. Many pet owners cremate their pets and others go so far as to have the animals stuffed so they can still touch their furry friend.
So, in a sense, pet pillows are the next step in evolution. After all, what is more comforting than laying on your pet in bed? Just imagine having Fluffy the cat stuffed in a fluffy pillow.
Now that’s comfort.

Pati Moore, the innovator of the Soft-Hearted Pillow, is a long time pet owner and has experienced many “comings and goings” of her beloved pets through the years. When she lost her most recent dog, Samantha, she found that the hardest question to answer was “What is the best way to commemorate her and how can I continue to keep her near?” Pati has always chosen cremation as an option because of her mobile lifestyle and the desire to hold her pets close. To her, any other option always seemed “cold and final”. This was her vision for the “Soft-Hearted Pillow” and the everlasting memories they keep.
"The Soft-Hearted Pillow is, in its simplest terms, an Urn Alternative.”
Until now, pet owners had a singular choice for preserving cremated remains; a solid, stationary urn to be positioned on a shelf, forever still. Now comes a supple, huggable pillow that captures the love and tenderness that pet owners feel for their pets in a secure yet soft, embraceable, warm alternative.
“Soft-Hearted Products wants to offer bereaved pet owners another choice for memorializing their pet’s cremated remains.”
Nothing holds the same place in our hearts like the love of a pet. Soft-Hearted Products knows that pets come in all shapes and sizes pet rats to birds, ferrets, rabbits, reptiles, dogs and cats. When cremation is chosen, any pet can be accommodated and memorialized with the Soft-Hearted Pillow as opposed to an urn tucked away on a dusty shelf.
“Soft-Hearted Products has created a way to make a difficult time just a little softer”
The Soft-Hearted Pillow comes in a choice of three beautiful micro fleece fabrics in neutral colors with matching designer braided trim and an option for personalization. The decorator size 14 inch square pillow has been designed to fit discreetly into any environment whether it is a bedroom, living room or even office or car. The fabrics are durable and incredibly soft and the pillows are filled with the highest grade fiber fill for maximum softness and an irresistably comforting "huggability".
