How to Name Your Dog
Naming your new dog is one of the first bonding experiences you'll have together. The right name can reflect their personality, appearance, or simply be something that makes you smile every time you say it.
Tips for Choosing the Perfect Dog Name
- Keep it simple: Short names (1-2 syllables) are easier for pets to recognize.
- Match their personality: Spend a day or two observing your dog before deciding.
- Say it out loud: Make sure the name feels natural when you call it.
- Consider their appearance: Colors, markings, or size can inspire great names.
- Think about uniqueness: A distinctive name can help your dog stand out at the vet or park.
