Petributes launches new Bulldog urn

Petributes, a leading supplier to the pet funeral sector, has launched a new Bulldog-shaped urn for its trade and consumer customers. 

It added the breed to its existing dog urn range following a rise in popularity of English bulldogs across the UK. Other breeds in the range include the French Bulldog, Boxer and Pug.

The urns reportedly provide a way to store a pet’s ashes “discreetly”, through the use of a hollow interior.

Each figurine has been cast from an original sculpture commissioned exclusively for Petributes by local Sussex artists, with an aim to “capture the breed’s happy, intelligent and loving character”. 

Every urn is then hand-painted, giving a bronze-effect finish, which will “weather” if the urn is kept outdoors.

The urn also includes a Memory Capsule to safely store a photo and small keepsake mementos such as a collar tag or lock of hair. In addition, it can also be personalised with an engraved name or short message.

Adam Masters, MD at Petributes, said: “Losing a pet is a very difficult and emotional experience. With more Bulldog owners than ever in the UK, it was important to us to be able to support families at a very upsetting time by offering the opportunity to properly memorialise the character of these lovely dogs. 

“These urns enable owners to keep their cherished animals close by them and provide the perfect resting place for much loved pets.”
