Sizing
Our urns cater for pets weighing from 1kg up to 65kg’s and are suitable for holding the ashes of cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, mice, birds and small reptiles.
Determining the quantity of ash you will receive from the pet crematory is difficult as crematory service processes vary. A general guide is one cup per 9 kg’s. We freely exchange if you need a different size pet urn but it must be unused and returned in its original condition. Alternatively, we recommend that you buy the next size up if you are unsure.
To determine the appropriate pet urn volume capacity needed for a pet, the average guide is that 2.2 kilo of body weight (during a healthy state) = one cubic inch. For example, a 20 kg pet would require an urn with at least 44 cubic inches volume capacity for remains. This can vary slightly.

We are in the process of having urn medallions made that can be engraved and sit around the neck of the urn on a matching chain.
