If you're looking for the perfect pet cremation urn, below we have gathered cremation urns that you can use for the ashes of your cremated pet, whether they be a cat, dog, or other loved creature.

How to choose a pet cremation urn

Scroll down to see the urn choices and pick the one you like. All the pet cremation urns listed here are of varying volumetric sizes from 1 cubic inch to 100 cubic inches. For large 100-150 lb dogs you might consider using a full-sized adult urn. 

To know what sized urn you need for your pet's ashes, simply use this calculation: 1 cubic inch of volume per lb of body weight + 10 cubic inches for larger animals so that there is enough room for variations.

Pet weight vs ash amount examples:

Some examples of matching your pet's mass to a suitable urn for their ashes:

• A hamster, lizard, or other smaller creature under 1 lb of body mass would need a micro or mini urn with 1 or 2 cubic inches for their ashes.
• A small pet that was 5 lbs in life would need an urn with a volume of 5-10 cubic inches.
• Cats are generally 5 to 20 lbs in life so an urn with a volume of 10-20 cubic inches would be suitable.
• A small dog under 25 lbs would need an urn in the 35 cubic inch range.
• A medium-sized dog of 50 lbs would need an urn with a volume of 50-60 cubic inches or more.
• A larger dog of 50 to 75 lbs would need an urn with a volume of 60 to 85 cubic inches.
• A big dog of 100 lbs or larger would need an urn with 110-160 cubic inches.
• A very large dog up to 150 lbs would need an urn of 160 cubic inches.
• Note that most full-sized human urns are rated at 200 cubic inches and these urns would be sufficient for the ashes of a large dog.

Specialty urn types to consider for your pet's ashes

Some of our specialty urns are uniquely suited for your pet.

Tealight urns: These urns have a similar volume rating as keepsake urns. However, they have a built-in holder for a tealight candle so you can remember your pet in the warmth of candlelight. Click here.

Biodegradable urns: One of the most popular types of urn is a biodegradable urn. This kind of urn allows you to bury the urn containing ashes or commit it to a lake or river without worrying about leaving a trace. A biodegradable urn breaks down in the environment.
