Shih Tzu urns, sized to them.
Most Shih Tzus weigh 9 to 16 lb (4.1 to 7.3 kg), so they need about 13 to 21 cubic inches (210 to 340 ml) of space. Our Small urn holds a dog up to 33 lb (15 kg), so it fits a Shih Tzu with room to spare.
We sculpt each of our photo urns from your Shih Tzu's own photos, so it is a likeness of them, not a breed model. Enter their weight below to check the size.

Choosing for a Shih Tzu, answered plainly.
What size urn does a Shih Tzu need?
Most Shih Tzus weigh 9 to 16 lb (4.1 to 7.3 kg), so they need about 13 to 21 cubic inches (210 to 340 ml) of space. Our Small urn holds a dog up to 33 lb (15 kg), so it fits a Shih Tzu with room to spare.
Allow one cubic inch of space for each pound they weighed when they were well, plus a tenth, plus 3 cubic inches. Use your Shih Tzu's own weight, not the breed's: your vet will have a record of it. If they were close to the top of a size, choose the next one up.
Can you make an urn that looks like my Shih Tzu?
Yes. We sculpt it from your photos of them, so it shows your Shih Tzu, not a stock figure.
Send a few clear photos and we design it for free; you pay nothing until you say yes to the design. Making takes 10 working days from your yes.
Can the urn go outdoors?
Yes: the stone takes rain and frost.
The urn does not seal out rain, so the ashes stay in their sealed bag inside it.
