The necklace typically includes a pendant in the shape of a dog bone, which can be crafted from various materials such as sterling silver, gold, rose gold, or stainless steel. The bone-shaped pendant is personalized by engraving or inscribing the name of the pet, a significant word, or a date that holds sentimental value.

These necklaces are available in different styles, allowing customization of the font, size, and placement of the name or inscription on the dog bone pendant. Some designs may also include additional embellishments like paw prints, hearts, or gemstones to enhance the overall appearance.
