Pets Celebrate Animals Forever Stamps

The 2016 Pets Forever stamps feature 20 different companion animals photographed against clean white backgrounds. This product option contains 100 genuine USPS-issued Forever stamps—five complete double-sided booklets of 20.

What is included

• Quantity: 100 stamps
• Packaging: 5 double-sided booklets of 20
• Designs: 20 animal photographs in each complete booklet
• Postage: First-Class Mail Forever
• Adhesive: Pressure-sensitive, peel-and-stick

The 20 Pets designs

Each booklet represents puppies, betta fish, iguanas, hamsters, goldfish, parrots, guinea pigs, tortoises, rabbits, kittens, corn snakes, mice, hermit crabs, chinchillas, gerbils, dogs, parakeets, horses, cats and geckos. The simple white backgrounds keep the animal portraits easy to recognize on envelopes, invitations and everyday correspondence.

Official issue details

Are these stamps still valid?

Yes. Genuine, unused Forever stamps remain valid for the current one-ounce First-Class Mail letter rate even though this issue was released in 2016. Add other postage if the mailpiece is heavier, oversized, nonmachinable or uses a different service.

Who this issue suits

The set works well for animal-themed correspondence, pet-business mail, veterinary or rescue communications, invitations and collectors who want a complete booklet with broad species variety. Buyers seeking only dogs, cats or another single subject should review the full booklet image before choosing, because the official format contains one of each design rather than 20 copies of one animal.

Buying and handling notes

• Confirm that the quantity selector shows 100 stamps in five books.
• Keep unused booklets flat, dry and away from heat so the pressure-sensitive adhesive remains protected.
• Compare the received booklet with the product images before separating stamps.
• For other wildlife and pet designs, browse Animal Forever Stamps.
