Why Your Dog Shouldn’t Carry the Real Rings & What to Do Instead
When it comes to actually carrying the wedding rings, we have an important recommendation—let’s leave the real rings to the humans!
Including your dog in your wedding day is one of the sweetest ways to make your big day even more special.
And what could be cuter than having your pup serve as the official ring bearer?
It’s a heartwarming moment that’s guaranteed to bring smiles to your guests and make for unforgettable photos.
But when it comes to actually carrying the wedding rings, we have an important recommendation—let’s leave the real rings to the humans!
Why Your Dog Shouldn’t Carry the Real Wedding Rings
We know your pup is the bestest boy/girl, but wedding days are full of excitement, distractions, and new experiences for them. Even the most well-trained dog might get the zoomies or decide to roll in the grass right before walking down the aisle.
The last thing you want is for your rings to go missing in the middle of your ceremony!
That’s why we always recommend using fake rings if your pup will be the designated ring bearer.
At FairyTail Pet Care, we provide our own set of fake rings that your dog can carry for the moment, keeping the real ones safe with the best man, maid of honor, or officiant.
A Fun & Adorable Alternative: A Ring Toy for Your Dog!
Want to take the cuteness up a notch?
Instead of attaching fake rings, consider clipping a plush engagement ring toy to your dog’s collar or harness! Not only does this add a fun and safe touch, but it also makes for the most adorable photos.
We love this plush ring toy that makes it look like your pup is carrying a giant diamond!
Why Wedding Pet Care Makes a Difference
Having your dog in your wedding is a dream come true, but it does take a little extra planning.
That’s where we come in!
As a professional wedding pet care company, we ensure your pup is cared for throughout the day, so you and your guests can focus on celebrating. From escorting them down the aisle to making sure they’re comfortable and included in photos, we handle it all—while also working closely with your venue and other vendors to make the experience seamless.
So, if your Dog of Honor is making a special appearance at your wedding, let’s make sure they’re part of the fun without the stress. Skip the real rings, opt for something safer (and cuter!), and let us help make your wedding day paw-fect! 🐾💍

Our journey began in 2015 when we had a simple yet innovative idea - to capture the experience of your dog during your wedding day.
We knew this would be an incredible addition to our wedding pet care services & initially, we experimented with a GoPro harness to document the walk down the aisle from your dog's point of view. However, we soon realized that there was so much more to capture. We wanted to showcase the adventure, interactions, and unique moments your dog experiences throughout the entire day.

When we first started our “wedding day pet care” company in 2015, there was not one other business offering this service in the US.
(During our initial research way back when, we discovered just one company in Italy that seemed to be offering something similar to ours)
We were inspired while working in events at a hotel, realizing how many people wanted to have their dog as a part of their celebration, but the logistics of it all left them too overwhelmed to make it happen. We can’t tell you how many times we’ve heard someone say “I wish you were around when we got married!”.
We KNEW this was a thing, couples wanted their furry best friends to be a part of their day, but there were no solutions for how to get them to & from the venue, or for who would take responsibility for them or how to ensure Fido was well behaved around Mom’s beautiful white dress. That’s when the lightbulb went off.
WE could be the solution.

We put our dream job into action when two close relatives were each set to be married within the same year. It all started to click when we made plans for their individual pups, one that was an older, gentle soul named Denver & the other a hyper, very excitable puppy named Harper.
We realized each wedding day would be different, each pet’s personality unique & their involvement in the day would vary.
When each respective wedding day rolled around, we were confronted with something we never could have fully anticipated; the IMPACT the pup’s presence would have on not only the couple, but on the bridal party, the guests & even the vendors!

Emotions on a wedding day are at an all time high - hope, excitement, fear of the unknown all wrapped up into this new & mysterious feeling. While the pup may not know exactly what this day represents - some are even adorably certain the day is about them - they do pick up on these emotions & it’s our experience, that they tend to just innately know exactly what it is we need.
We’ll never forget the moment before Harper walked down the aisle five years ago. You could feel the anticipation as the groom nervously awaited his bride, tears beginning to well up as the eyes of every guest rested on him, that is until his pup came strutting down. Harper made it a point to say “hello” to all of her friends, but saved the best for last when she was finally able to give a few much needed kisses to her Dad. It was a brief, but profound moment that brought an uncontrollable smile to everyone in the room.
And now that our sweet Denver has passed, the photos of him in his tuxedo looking so content with his Mom & Dad are irreplaceable & will help preserve precious memories for an eternity. Nothing can compare to the love that was shared on that special day & we are so grateful he was there to celebrate with the entire family.
You see, a dog is much more to many of us than just a pet.
They are FAMILY. They are our best friends.
One of the first questions we ask when meeting a new potential client is, “Did one of you bring your pup into the relationship or did you get them together?”. For so many, their dog was their first love, their baby. For others, they may have helped create an unbreakable bond that strengthened one’s relationship, leading to the realization they are in fact ready for the next step.

They bring an incomparable joy to the room, prompting us to slow down & simply live in the present moment. A tongue-out, tail-wagging reminder that we are exactly where we’re supposed to be.
Throughout all of life’s ups & downs, twists & turns, our pup’s unwavering love is always at our side, a lovable constant in an ever-changing world.
And, in our opinion, it’s exactly that kind of love should be brought to & recognized on one’s wedding day because, frankly, there is nothing else like it.
