Losing a pet leaves a hole that’s hard to put into words. If you’re looking for a way to mark the spot where your best mate rests, this engraved pet memorial spike is a simple, lasting tribute that feels right. Push it into the ground in your garden, by a favourite tree, or wherever feels like home. Each spike is laser engraved with a silhouette of your pet, their name, dates, and a personal message. Just fill in the details when you order and we’ll create something that’s genuinely one of a kind. If you’re after other ways to remember them, check out our full range of personalised pet memorial products, or browse our gifts for pet lovers collection.
Built to Handle the Outdoors
Made from 3.2mm silver and black acrylic, this memorial spike is designed to live outside. It won’t rot, rust, or fall apart in the rain like a wooden cross might. The laser engraving is cut into the surface, so it stays sharp and readable through sun, wind, and weather. It’s a small marker, but it does the job well.
Great Gift for Someone Going Through a Loss
If you know someone who’s recently lost a pet, this is a genuinely thoughtful way to show you care. If you’re looking for something to pair with it, a personalised keepsake box works well for holding collars, tags, or other small memories. You might also consider a custom engraved plaque for an indoor tribute.

Frequently Asked Questions
What animals can I get a silhouette of on my pet memorial spike?
We can do dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and more. When you place your order, just let us know what type of pet and we’ll match the silhouette. If you’ve got something a bit unusual, just select “Other” and a text box will pop up where you can tell us what you need. We also make personalised pet tags if you’re after something for a living furry mate.
Will the engraving fade if it’s left outside?
The text and silhouette are laser engraved directly into the acrylic, not printed on top. That means it won’t peel, fade, or wash away in the rain. Acrylic handles Australian weather well, so your memorial will stay looking sharp for years. One thing to note: acrylic isn’t ideal for coastal areas with direct salt spray exposure, so if you’re right near the ocean, keep that in mind.
Can I order more than one memorial spike?
Of course. Each spike is personalised individually, so you can order as many as you need with different names, dates, and messages. Just add each one to your cart with its own personalisation details and check out in one go.
How deep should I push the spike into the ground?
The spike portion is 85mm long, so you’ll want to push it in most of the way. Soft garden soil works best. If the ground is hard or rocky, make a small pilot hole first. The acrylic is sturdy, but a bit of care goes a long way.

I was very pleased with the quality of the King of the Grill Chopping Board, as was the recipient, judging by the smile on his face. And the customer service was second to none, too. I will be ordering more products from Custom Kings in the future.

Our plaque to remember our beautiful cat Maddi was just what we wanted & it arrived swiftly & is now in her memorial garden at the front of our house. Thank you.
I am so happy with this plaque.
It arrived a couple of days after I ordered it (so fast for online ordering!)
It is exactly what I wanted and looks like it will last a long time.
Don't normally do reviews but just had to this time. So pleased with the service.
Boots spike is happily sitting in his little garden. Thank you for your prompt delivery and so pleased with Boots spike. I would love to send you a photo of the end result
We ordered a beautiful plaque for our cat that had been with us for over 16 years. The plaque is lovely, although smaller than we thought, although that is probably our fault for not looking at the size dimensions. It is sitting in his favourite garden and looks lovely. It arrived very quickly.
