By now, you’ve probably amassed a huge library of digital photos featuring your family, your kids, and your furry companions. We all have, and we all take an endless stream of digital photographs. It’s part of the experience of being able to carry a mini computer in our pockets with us everywhere, thanks to modern-day smartphones. Unfortunately, it’s rare that we actually do anything with those photos, especially when it comes to our beloved pets. By the time we go back and review all of those memories, pets may have passed on, new ones may have joined the family, or some variation of those events may have occurred. But our loved ones deserve to be remembered and commemorated. What better way to do that than with a customized hardcover photo book?

Photo books, or at least the option to create them, are common, but you should know that not all of them are created equal. Most importantly, not all of them allow you to personalize every aspect of the design process quite like Mixbooks does. For starters, you can choose between several relevant themes, including — some of which were even born out of .

You can also choose the dimensions of the book, the style, and the cover finish, like matte, or glassy, add custom stickers or backgrounds, or choose from a library of existing media. As for your photos, you can add, move, and edit them, or enhance them with elements like text, and much more. Professionally designed templates are at your disposal if you don’t know where to start, but also you can craft your own if your heart desires. It’s the perfect way to preserve Fido’s memories and special moments with your family. Plus, right now, you can enjoy 45% off your first order and free shipping for orders over $59 with code MIX45SHIP — which may already be applied for you.

Mixbook hardcover photo book for pet cat.

Getting a bit personal for a moment, I had a cat named Talia, a beautiful little tortoiseshell calico who was the sweetest ever. As you’d expect, I had quite the collection of photos with her included, which I’d taken over the years. Well, she ended up passing suddenly due to health complications, and it came on as such a shock, that for a time I was in sort of a twilight about it all. Being the amazing partner she is, my wife put together a photo book of the pictures, which I can look over anytime and remember Talia by. It was truly one of the best gifts I have received to date, and it’s something I cherish.

At the risk of applying my experience too broadly, I will say that it’s something everyone should consider, especially for a family pet. They don’t live as long as we humans, and it’s good to be able to look back upon those memories and experiences fondly. Cue Mixbook hardcover photo books, one of the best ways to take your digital photos and image library and put them to good use. It’s more than just a coffee table or bookshelf-ready book, it’s something you can hold physically, flip through, and reminisce with, even after your beloved companion is long gone.

Flipping back to a more positive conversation, Mixbooks can be fully customized by you, and your family. As previously stated, you get to select and choose every aspect of the book. Starting with the theme, and professionally-developed templates, you add your unique photos of Fido and then customize them as you go with stickers, themes, text, and more. When you’re all done, you have a hardcover book that represents everything special about your bond with your pet(s). That’s not something you can find anywhere, or something to be glossed over.

Pets are messy, even when they're not causing mischief and mayhem. Pet hair and dander, for example, tend to get everywhere. It tucks into every corner, every nook, and every cranny, and compiles on couches, under furniture, and, well, you get the idea. Then there's food, which can spill onto the floor, right along with treats and their crumbs. It can be a lot to keep up with, especially if you have more than one pet. And if you suffer from common allergies, forget about it. All of those particles and contaminants are going to make you sneeze, cough, and have a rough time. But what if there were an easier way to clean it all up and keep it clean?

The answer is a smart robot vacuum, but not just any smart vacuum -- one that's specifically designed for pet owners. Roborock offers a series of vacuums just for pet lovers, like the S7 MaxV Plus, which even comes with its very own auto-empty dock. The S7 and many others are on sale right now at a hefty discount, so it's an excellent time to grab one for your home. Starting October 11 and through October 15, you can save up to 44% off select Roborock smart vacuums. We'll take a closer look at some of the best options for pet owners below!
