Dog urn for ashes 'Dog Paw' with glass ash pearl

A paw print that stays with you

Anyone who has shared their life with a dog knows how much space that animal takes up. In the daily routine, in the quiet corners of the house, in the habits that became second nature. When that presence is gone, the absence is real and physical. This pet urn for ashes gives that bond a permanent place, shaped into something immediately recognisable: a dog's paw.

Metal and wood, made to last

The paw itself is formed from 2 mm coated steel, finished in powder-coat black. Powder coating is an electrostatic process: negatively charged powder is applied to the steel and fused in an oven, producing a hard, even surface that holds its colour and resists everyday damage. The base is wooden, hand-finished and carefully coloured. Because wood is a natural material, you may notice knots, slight variations in grain, or fine hairline cracks that develop with changes in temperature. These are not flaws. They are what make each piece its own.

Two ways to keep what mattered

This cremation urn offers two separate spaces for preservation, and that combination is what sets it apart. Inside the wooden base there is a recess designed to hold the included plastic ash tube. You fill the tube yourself, then seal the recess with the self-adhesive disc that comes with it. From the hook at the centre of the paw hangs the included glass ash pearl. This is where you can keep a lock of your dog's hair, or another small personal keepsake such as a piece of fabric. The pearl closes with a screw cap. Because the opening is narrow, using an ash jewellery filling kit is recommended to make the process easier and more precise.

What this shape carries

A paw print is the mark your dog left, in the most literal sense. Choosing an urn in this form says something that words often struggle to: that this animal held a genuine place in your life. The hair you place inside the glass pearl makes that still more specific. It is from this particular dog, nothing interchangeable about it, and that is exactly what gives it lasting meaning.

Practical notes on material and care

Steel is a durable material, but it is sensitive to moisture. Keep this urn indoors and away from damp conditions. The glass ash pearl is fragile: handle it carefully when filling and when attaching it to the hook. Using an ash jewellery filling kit makes working with the narrow opening considerably easier and reduces the risk of spillage. Both the plastic ash tube and the glass ash pearl are included with the urn.

If you are looking for a way to honour the bond you shared with your dog in a form that feels honest and personal, this pet urn for ashes was made with exactly that in mind. If you would like help with your order or have any questions, we are happy to talk you through the options at your own pace.
