A laser etched pet rock is a natural stone, unique in shape and colour, engraved with your pet’s name, dates and portrait to sit in a garden or backyard. Design it online and we ship it across Canada.
No two rocks alike
A laser etched pet rock starts as a natural stone, and every one is different in shape, colour and grain. That is the point. Your pet was one of a kind, and the memorial is too. We engrave the rock with your pet’s name and dates, a short message and, if you like, a detailed portrait, so the stone looks as if it has always belonged in your garden.
It has none of the formality of a headstone. Tucked among hostas or set beside a favourite sunning spot, a pet rock feels like part of the yard, which many families find easier to live with every day.
Where a pet rock sits
In a garden. Set it among plants, at the edge of a bed or beside a bird bath. It changes with the seasons around it, framed by tulips in May and fallen leaves in October. For more ideas, see our garden memorial plaques.
In a backyard. Place it under the tree where your dog napped or along the fence your cat patrolled.
On a burial site. A rock makes a natural marker for a pet buried at home. Settle it into the soil a little so it sits firmly.
Indoors. On a hearth or bookshelf it becomes a keepsake you can pick up and hold.
Price
In the design tool on 22 October 2026, a 220 by 100 mm (about 9 by 4 inch) pet rock was $355.95 in Canadian dollars, and the price changes as you change the size and options.
The design tool shows the price in Canadian dollars, with shipping across Canada included. We confirm the delivery date with your proof. If the ground is frozen when it arrives, the rock can wait indoors until spring.

Frequently asked questions
Will my rock look exactly like the photo on the page?
No two rocks are the same. Each is a natural stone, so its shape, colour and texture will differ from the pictures. We confirm the details with your proof before engraving.
Can a pet rock mark a burial site in the yard?
Yes. Pet burial sites are one of its main uses. Many families like that it looks like part of the landscape rather than a formal marker, which suits a grave in a garden or along a fence line.
Where should it go if we get a lot of snow?
The engraving is weatherproof and made for years outdoors, but a shovel or snow blower blade can still knock a stone. Place it away from paths and driveways you clear in winter, which also keeps it away from road salt.
Can I keep the rock inside?
Yes. It works indoors as a keepsake on a hearth, a windowsill or a bookshelf, and it can move outside later if you prefer.
