A Comfort Toy for the Dogs We're Not Ready to Say Goodbye To
Rainbow Bridge Stuffies™ is a soft, snuggly bridge for senior and terminally ill dogs to hold onto—and a way for us to say, "Wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge."
Inspired by the Rainbow Bridge poem and a very special golden retriever, Rainbow Bridge Stuffies™ is a plush toy designed for dogs who are still here with us—but whose time is painfully short. It's something they can hold, snuggle, and play with now, and something we can hold onto later.

What Is Rainbow Bridge Stuffies™?
Rainbow Bridge Stuffies™ is a plush toy shaped like a gentle rainbow bridge.
It's meant to be given before a dog passes away—when they're older, ill, or in hospice care.
Pet parents can tell their dog: "This is your bridge. Hold it, snuggle it, play with it…and wait for me there."
The toy becomes:
- •A soft, soothing bridge for your dog to hold, snuggle, and sleep with
- •A symbol of the promise that we'll meet them again at the Rainbow Bridge
- •A keepsake for families to hold after their dog is gone
Designed with Tender Moments in Mind
Soft, plush rainbow bridge shape for dogs to rest their head or paws on
Gentle, light rainbow colors—comforting rather than bright or loud
Embroidered silhouette of a dog and their person, standing together at the bridge
Made to be snuggled, held, and cherished—by both dogs and humans
A simple way to create a special ritual: "When it's time, wait for me at this bridge."
Inspired by One Very Loved Golden Retriever
My name is Sarah, and Rainbow Bridge Stuffies™ was born from heartbreak.
A few years ago, my golden retriever was diagnosed with nasal cancer. I knew our time together was limited, and I was desperate to find anything that could bring him comfort—and give me something meaningful to hold onto after he was gone.
I searched for a 'Rainbow Bridge' toy made for dogs themselves, something he could snuggle with while he was still here and something I could keep later. I found sympathy gifts for humans, figurines, jewelry, and frames—but nothing soft and huggable for him.
That's when the idea for Rainbow Bridge Stuffies™ appeared: a plush rainbow bridge he could rest on, play with, and 'take with him,' and a way for me to say:
"Hold it, snuggle it, play with it…and wait for me there. All my love."
Rainbow Bridge Stuffies™ is my way of honoring him—and giving other families a small bit of comfort during one of the hardest goodbyes we ever have to say.
A Gentle Gift for Hard Moments
Rainbow Bridge Stuffies™ is created for pet parents, families, clinics, and friends looking for a meaningful, comforting gift for someone saying goodbye to their dog. It's not just a toy—it's a promise, a ritual, and a way to say "I'll meet you at the bridge" when words feel impossible.
