What Size Urn for a Springer Spaniel?
Updated November 2026.
The short answer: size a springer spaniel's urn by their usual, healthy weight. Most springer spaniels fall in our Medium–Large size, for pets up to 30 kg. A springer who weighed more than 30 kg should choose Extra Large, for pets up to 40 kg. For a springer spaniel heavier than 40 kg, message us before you order.
What size urn does a springer spaniel need?
Breed guides and vet clinics usually give a typical adult range of about 20 to 25 kg (44 to 55 lb) for an English springer spaniel. That sits in the middle of our Medium–Large size, which is for pets up to 30 kg, so most springers have comfortable room to spare. Individual dogs vary, and a heavier, well-built springer can be nearer 30 kg, so weigh your dog where you can.
How much space do a springer spaniel's ashes need?
The common rule is about 1 cubic inch of space for each pound your dog weighed. It is a guide, not a measured volume.
- 20 kg (44 lb): about 44 cubic inches, roughly 720 ml
- 25 kg (55 lb): about 55 cubic inches, roughly 900 ml
- 30 kg (66 lb): about 66 cubic inches, roughly 1.1 litres
If the crematorium told you the volume of the ashes, use that figure instead and tell us.
Which of our sizes fits a springer spaniel?
| Our size | Pet's usual weight | Rough ashes volume (guide) | Canopic jar urn, approx. outer size (W x D x H) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small–Medium | up to 15 kg (33 lb) | up to about 33 cubic inches, roughly 540 ml | 120 x 154 x 231 mm |
| Medium–Large | up to 30 kg (66 lb) | about 66 cubic inches, roughly 1.1 litres | 140 x 180 x 270 mm |
| Extra Large | up to 40 kg (88 lb) | about 88 cubic inches, roughly 1.4 litres | 160 x 206 x 309 mm |
A springer near 30 kg, or one who was between sizes, should go up to Extra Large. If you only have a rough idea of their weight, the same advice applies: a little extra room is better than too little.
Working springers, show springers and crosses
Springers come in a wider spread of builds than many breeds, from lighter working dogs to heavier, thicker-set dogs. The breed range is only a guide. A springer cross, whether with a collie, a cocker or something else, is best sized by the weight on the scales. If you are unsure, our 30 kg dog guide explains how to choose when a dog is close to the top of Medium–Large.
Tips before you order
- Use the weight your dog was when healthy. If they lost weight towards the end, their usual weight is the better guide.
- If the crematorium gave you the volume of the ashes, use that figure and tell us before you order.
- Between two sizes? Go up. A little space is better than too little.
- Never use the outside measurements as the space inside: tell us the volume you need and we will confirm the size.
Urn styles for a springer spaniel
Springers are remembered for their ears, their eager faces and the way they were always in motion. Our portrait urns are shaped from your own photographs, so the markings and the set of the ears are what we work from. Send a clear face-on photo in daylight and a side view to start. The same three weight bands apply to every style.
- Custom dog portrait urn: a seated portrait shaped from one to five of your photographs, in chalk off-white, with a black plug closing the opening underneath.
- Collar urn: made to hold their own collar beside the portrait. Tell us the fastened circumference and strap width when you order.
- Wrapped pet urn: your dog's face held by curved, overlapping forms.
- Personalised canopic jar urn: black with antique-gold details, a portrait lid and your dog's name on the front. The lid rests on the jar without a seal.
Every White Doe dog urn is cast stone, finished by hand and made to order, with free tracked delivery in the UK and worldwide. For portrait styles you send one to five clear photographs and we share a digital proof before anything is made. The portrait, collar and wrapped urns are for indoors on a steady shelf, mantel or sideboard; the canopic jar can also sit in a sheltered outdoor spot. Support any urn underneath with both hands when you lift it.
Calculator and related guides
Our urn size calculator takes the weight in kilograms or pounds and shows the size. The full range is in pet urns for ashes. For a dog of similar size, see the Labrador urn size guide and the large dog urn size guide. How to choose a pet urn helps with style.
