A message to our learning community After much consideration, we’ve made the decision to close the Improve Veterinary Practice platform on 13 January 2026. Improve Veterinary Practice was built to support vets and nurses at every stage of their career, and while this chapter is ending, a new one is starting at Improve Veterinary Education. We couldn’t be more grateful for the community you’ve helped us build and hope to see you on this exciting next step. Find out more

Petributes launches new Chihuahua urn

The leading supplier to the pet funeral sector, Petributes, has launched a new Chihuahua urn for its trade and consumer customers

Petributes, the leading supplier to the pet funeral sector, has launched a new Chihuahua urn for its trade and consumer customers. This new addition adds to the company’s growing collection of breed-specific figurine dog urns which offer a means to store a pet’s ashes discreetly, using a hollow interior.

The Chihuahua urn beautifully captures the spirit of these affectionate and tiny four-legged friends, and their bold and lively personalities. The urn has been developed from original sculptures created by a local West Sussex artist.

The figurine conceals a discreet ashes container in the base to provide a resting place for an owner’s beloved dog. 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. It can also be personalised with an engraved name or short message.

Adam Masters, MD at Petributes, explains: “In recent years Chihuahua’s have grown in popularity in the UK and is now the third most chosen breed in the UK. As a result more owners are keen to ensure that they have a fitting tribute after the loss of this lovely pet. Our Chihuahua urn helps keep memories alive and provides a perfect resting place for their ashes.”
