When you take care of them, a pat on the head is a sign of affection!

When you bid them farewell, a pat on the head is a sign of parting!

When you look at them, a pat on the head is a sign of remembrance!

"Pat the Head" is an eco-friendly pet urn shaped like the heads of cats and dogs, cute and endearing. When using it, the pet's ashes along with grass seeds are buried in the soil. Over time, with rainwater watering, the grass sprouts, forming a lawn in the shape of a cat or dog's head, allowing the pet to return to the earth and be reborn as grass. The name "Pat the Head" comes from the instinctive action people have when they see animals, to pat their heads, a gesture of goodwill towards nature, a sign of closeness to nature, a demonstration of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, and an act of love for nature.

This product is made from plant straw, which can naturally biodegrade in the soil, making it environmentally friendly and very eco-friendly.

Innovation: Utilizes plant straw, which can naturally decompose after burial. The lawn with animal head shapes grown from the grass not only beautifies the environment but also provides a place for the owner to reminisce.

Appearance: The design of the animal's head is lively and cute, making it easier for people to accept, embrace and take care of it, reducing the eerie feeling of the urn and reducing the distance between users and the product.

Functional: In use, the pet urn with an animal head design makes it easier for people to accept and use, and emotionally they are willing to embrace and take care of it.

Social value: Through this urn, beloved pets can regenerate like grass, making death romantic and enabling people to deal with life and death more rationally. This urn also serves as a warning, reminding people to be responsible for any form of life, to be accountable for life, and to be responsible for the virtuous and recyclable development of society.
