German Shepherd urns for ashes come in all shapes and sizes. The style you choose depends on your taste and the final resting place for your dog’s ashes. But before you buy, it’s essential to know your dog’s weight. The size of your dog determines the quantity of ash after cremation.    

What size pet urn do I need? 

The rule of thumb for choosing the right size urn to store your  German Shepherd’s ashes is – for every one pound of weight you need one cubic inch of space, plus ten cubic inches for good measure. For example, if your German Shepherd weighed 70 pounds, you will need an urn that holds a minimum of 70 to 80 cubic inches of pet ashes.

Types of German Shepherd ashes urns

Many German Shepherd dog owners choose to either display, bury or scatter their pet’s ashes. We recommend choosing a pet urn that best suits the final resting place for the ashes.
