Dog Urns

Dog Urns by Material

Dog urns are available in a wide range of materials, each with its own look, weight, and character. Wood dog urns are among the most popular, handcrafted from cherry, walnut, oak, maple, and rosewood. Many feature laser-engraved paw prints, breed silhouettes, or custom photo panels. Browse our full collection of wooden pet urns to see every species and finish available.

Metal dog urns in brass, pewter, and stainless steel offer a timeless, durable memorial that holds up well for both display and burial. Our metal pet urns range from brushed-nickel finishes to hand-painted designs with breed-specific artwork. For a classic stone aesthetic, marble dog urns are carved from solid natural stone and make a dignified display piece. See our marble pet urns collection for available colors and sizes.

We also carry urns for dogs in ceramic pet urns and glass pet urns. Ceramic dog urns are hand-glazed in a variety of colors and often feature sculpted paw prints or floral accents. Glass dog urns are individually blown by artisans, making each one a unique keepsake.

Finding the Right Size Dog Urn

Choosing the right size urn for dog ashes is straightforward: the general rule is one cubic inch of urn capacity for every pound of your dog's body weight. A 10-pound Yorkie needs roughly a 10-cubic-inch urn, while a 90-pound Labrador requires around 90 cubic inches. Most dog urns list their capacity in cubic inches, so matching your dog's weight to the urn size is simple. If you are unsure, it is always better to choose a slightly larger urn than one that may be too small. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see our guide on how to choose the right pet urn.

If you want to keep a smaller portion of your dog's ashes in a bedside memorial or carry a portion with you, consider our small urns for pet ashes. Keepsake urns hold a token amount of ashes and pair well with a full-size dog urn so the family can share ashes among loved ones or keep a portion in a separate room.

Dog Urn Styles and Features

Beyond material, dog urns come in a wide variety of styles to match your dog's personality and your home. Photo dog urns let you display a favorite picture of your dog directly on the urn. Our pet urns with photo frames are available in wood and metal and accept standard-size prints. Engraved dog urns can include your dog's name, dates, a short inscription, or a paw print — see our article on what to engrave on a pet urn for popular inscription ideas. For engraving options, visit our personalized dog urns collection where you can add custom text, hand-painted portraits, or mosaic artwork.

For a sculpted, three-dimensional tribute, our dog shaped urns are modeled after specific breeds and feature lifelike detail. These figurine-style urns double as display pieces and are available in weatherproof finishes for outdoor placement. We also carry breed-specific designs across many of our standard dog urns, including Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Labradors, Pugs, Beagles, Bulldogs, and dozens more.

Placing Your Dog Urn: Display, Burial, and Scattering

Most families choose to display their dog urn at home — on a mantel, shelf, or in a dedicated memorial area. Wood and metal urns work well for indoor display, while marble and stone urns add a more formal presence. Our article on how to display a pet urn at home offers placement ideas and etiquette tips. If you plan to bury your dog's ashes, a pet vault will protect the urn underground from moisture and soil pressure. For families who prefer to return ashes to nature, our biodegradable pet urns are designed to break down naturally in earth or water.

Some families wonder whether pet ashes can be placed alongside human remains. For more information on that topic, read our guide on whether pet ashes can be buried with humans. If you are considering how much cremation costs or what your options are, our article on pet cremation costs covers pricing, what is included, and how to plan ahead. For help budgeting for the urn itself, see our pet urn cost guide.
