Dog keepsakes and ash jewellery

A dog leaves the biggest gap in the quietest way: the lead by the door, the space at the end of the bed, the walk you still set out on out of habit. Sizing matters more for dogs than any other animal, from a whippet to a mastiff, so every urn and casket here lists the weight range it suits.

Paw and nose prints are taken before cremation, so they are there whichever service you choose. Ash jewellery is made after the ashes come home, so there is no rush to decide.

Examples of keepsakes suited to a dog. Sizes and personalisation vary by maker. We priced 105 of these across 7 Australian retailers: the median is $145 and the middle half falls between $99 and $258. How we surveyed it.
