Thanks so much for your interest in PharmaPals! 💊🐶
I've been working on these plush for a while now and the time is almost here to introduce them to the world :D We hope to launch in roughly a month on September 3rd, but it might get delayed if the prototype takes any longer to finalize!
What are PharmaPals?
PharmaPals are plush that have a zipper pocket in their bodies to hold an 8 Dram-sized prescription bottle. Since all medication bottles vary vastly in their sizes, all plush will come with their own bottle to make sure you can use them for their intended purpose— carrying your medications discreetly!
I always hate having to travel with my prescriptions, especially if it's just an outing during the day. Trying to fiddle with bulky bottles when you just need one pill, or tiny plastic carriers that can open and spill out in your bag... Can you tell I'm fed up with it? 😂
PharmaPals have a secure loop on top of their heads and an included ball chain to attach them to your bag or belt loop on the go! I will also either have locking keychain cables available as an add-on or include them by default, since I really don't want anyone to risk losing medications that their pals are carrying 😭
They are estimated to be about 8-10 inches tall, but that'll be confirmed when the prototype is done. Which brings us to...
Funding Goal — Basil
The main funding goal is for Basil the Corgi! Below is their prototype that is sooo close to being done. I sent my manu the prescription bottle size to make sure it will fit in the pocket, since the prototype on the left was made a bit too small at first. Keep in mind the body will likely be lengthened similar to the mockup on the right when completed!
Stretch Goals — Cedar and Parker
Cedar the black cat and Parker the red fox are our planned stretch goals! If we're lucky enough to unlock them fairly quickly, we will have dog, cat, and fox colorways available— but they won't be revealed until the main 3 are unlocked! :)

Parker the red fox
Stickers + Shaker Keychain
My trusty guest artist hubby Talvi is also cooking up some self-care stickers and a shaker keychain that will be available!
Here's the keychain sketch, which isn't finished and may undergo some changes before finalizing. The little pills will be the shakers! :3
That's all for now! I'll keep you all updated if we need to delay the launch date to make sure Basil is runway ready!
Are you excited for the campaign? Which pal is your favorite? Let me know in the comments! 💜
