About Us

Eco-friendly sympathy cards and thoughtful gifts for vets and animal lovers

A Brush With Love was set up by us, Fay and Sam, to offer a beautiful selection of vet sympathy cards and wildflower seed gift packs designed to vets and animal carers send love and comfort in the hardest moments.

Our first collection launched in 2017, created especially for veterinary professionals and animal-related businesses. Since then, A Brush With Love has grown steadily and continues to reflect the things we care most deeply about - compassion, sustainability, and connection.

We now offer a wide variety of customisable eco-friendly pet condolence cards that reflect the pets you care for – from dogs and cats to small animals, horses, and birds. We’re proud to use high-quality recycled materials and work with charities like StreetVet and the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, donating 15% of profits from every sale.

Sam Bath – Artist and Director

"Animals have always affected my heart like warmth affects chocolate - I simply melt at the mere sight of them. During my career I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside many wonderful creatures and their carers, including running a dog hotel for pampered pooches.

While they took their afternoon nap, I indulged in another passion – art and design. It makes my heart sing to think that these pet sympathy cards might bring your clients, as they have mine, a little comfort or joy."

Fay Barker – Director

"Sam and I have been best friends for over twenty years and share a passion for art, travel, and giving where we can! In the past we’ve worked together in many different exotic locations.

Since our globe-trotting days, I’ve worked in the charity sector, bringing creative ideas and social good projects into being. When Sam wanted to bring her beautiful pet sympathy cards to a wider audience, it felt natural for us to build this together – and so A Brush With Love was born."
