Whether displayed at home or carried on personal journeys, this engraved star stands as a constant reminder of the enduring bond and love shared with their pet.

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) recognizes 88 constellations, including two dog-related ones. To dedicate a star to a lost dog, you can choose one of them:

1. Canis Major: Latin for "Greater Dog," represents one of Orion's hunting dogs in Greek mythology. Its brightest star, Sirius, known as the "Dog Star," shines as the brightest in this constellation and the entire sky.

2. Canis Minor: Latin for "Lesser Dog," this constellation represents Orion's smaller dog companion. Its brightest star is Procyon.

Naming a pet memorial star allows you to choose any constellation, making the dedication more personal and meaningful.

Cat Constellations

While there is no specific constellation dedicated solely to cats in modern astronomy, there are several constellations and stars with feline associations that you can dedicate to your cat:

1. Leo (The Lion): Leo is one of the most well-known constellations and represents a lion, a large feline. Although it symbolizes a lion, its feline characteristics can also connect it to cats.
2. Lynx (The Lynx): This lesser-known constellation represents a lynx, a wild cat species. It's a more direct link to the feline family and can be a meaningful choice for naming a star in honor of a cat.
3. Felis (The Cat): Historically, there was a constellation named Felis, created by astronomer Jérôme Lalande in 1799. Though it is not officially recognized today, it was specifically intended to represent a cat, making it a fascinating and unique option for cat lovers.
