Pet Urn Sizing & Breed Guide
One of the most common questions we receive at our Maida Vale workshop is: “Will my pet’s ashes fit?” We understand that selecting a final resting place is a decision you want to get right the first time. Whether you are memorialising a loyal Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Staffy), an energetic Kelpie, or a Golden Retriever, our vessels are designed to provide a secure and dignified sanctuary.
In Australia, the most popular breeds vary in size, but their needs are the same. A standard Greyhound or German Shepherd will typically require our larger Heritage Series capacity, while smaller companions like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, French Bulldogs, or Cats fit beautifully within our Small Everglow range.
This guide is based on healthy adult weights to help you choose with confidence. If you are unsure—particularly for larger breeds like Labradors or Rotweillers—we always recommend moving up one size to allow room for a collar or a small keepsake.
Choosing a final sanctuary for your companion is a deeply personal decision. To assist in honouring their memory, we have provided this discrete guide to help you match your pet’s breed or species to the correct vessel in our range.
