Crafted from durable cast stone concrete, this garden stone is designed for long-lasting performance in outdoor environments. The neutral finish complements both landscapes and hardscapes, making it a versatile accent that can be nestled among flowers or placed beside seating areas.

Care Instructions:
- Placement: Set the stone on a stable, level surface. Ideal placements include garden beds, stone paths, entryways, patios, or indoor shelves where its message can be easily seen and appreciated.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently wipe away dirt or debris. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive tools to preserve the engraved lettering and stone surface.
- Weather Protection: Cast stone is intended for year-round outdoor use, but bringing the stone indoors during extreme freeze–thaw conditions can help preserve its look over time.
- Maintenance: Check periodically for buildup or debris. If desired, you can apply a stone-safe sealant for extra surface protection.
This garden stone brings whimsy and character to spaces shared with pets and people alike, making it a meaningful accent for animal lovers.
