Caring for Your Paw Peace Urn

When you choose a Paws Peace urn, you’re not just selecting a container - you’re preserving a memory. These personalized pet urns and keepsake urns for pets are designed to last, but proper care ensures they remain as beautiful as the day you received them. Whether it’s a decorative cat urn, a custom dog urn, or one of our unique pet urns, here’s how to keep it clean, safe, and respectful of your companion’s memory.

Regular Cleaning

• Dusting: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently remove dust. This prevents scratches and keeps the surface smooth.
• Fingerprints & Smudges: Lightly dampen the cloth with water or a drop of mild dish soap. Wipe gently in circular motions to avoid streaks.
• Drying: Always finish with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.

What to Avoid

Your urn is a memorial, not just an object. To keep it in the best condition:

• Do not use: Glass cleaner, ammonia, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners. These can damage the finish and dull the surface.
• Do not use: Paper towels or rough cloths, which can scratch and leave lint.

Deep Cleaning

For stubborn spots or buildup:

1. Mix warm water with a small amount of mild soap.
2. Dip a microfiber cloth into the solution and wring it out well.
3. Wipe gently, avoiding excess water.
4. Rinse with a damp cloth, then dry immediately with another soft cloth.

Preventing Scratches & Damage

• Always handle your urn with clean hands. Oils and dirt can transfer easily.
• Keep it away from sharp objects and high-traffic areas where it could be bumped.
• Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause yellowing or fading over time.

Important Information About Shipping

If you ever need to move or ship your urn - whether for relocation, family sharing, or travel - follow these guidelines carefully.

Shipping in the USA

Cremated remains must be sent via USPS Priority Mail Express® with their official cremated remains packaging. This ensures safe, trackable delivery. Check your local post office or the USPS website for current details.

Shipping Internationally

Rules vary widely. Some countries require permits or paperwork to ship cremated remains. Always check with your local postal service or chosen courier before sending.

Air Travel

Our urns are made from x-ray–safe materials. They typically pass through TSA security and can be carried on or checked. However, airline rules differ, so always confirm with your carrier before flying.

Why Care Matters

Pet memorial gifts like decorative cat urns for ashes or custom keepsake urns hold more than ashes - they hold stories. Caring for your urn is a way of caring for the memory of your pet. A well-kept urn is not only a respectful resting place but also a lasting reminder of the love you shared.

By following these steps, you’ll ensure that your pet’s final resting place remains dignified, safe, and as unique as the life it represents.
