Tips for Choosing Your New Dog's Name

Between choosing your new, furry family member, stocking up the house with the rightdog-friendly gear, and picking thehigh-quality kibbleyou're going to feed him or her, adding a dog to the family isruffwork! On top of everything else, you have to choose a name that the whole family will love for years to come. The pressure's on, huh?

When it comes to naming your new dog, we say, look to your dog's personality for inspiration. Is she as sweet as a daisy? Or a little bit more rough-and-tumble? Then, consider your dog's appearance. Does she have a distinctive coat pattern or color? If you're having a hard time, you can always look to your favorite movies, books, and TV shows for inspiration, too.

When you're choosing your new dog's name, we recommend you also consider:

  • Sticking to names with one to two syllables and hard consonants. These types of names will be easier for your dog to hear and understand, especially from across the dog park.
  • Names that do not sound like commands. Think: "stay" and "Ray" or "sit" and "Kit." These kinds of names could confuse your dog and make basic training a little bit tricker.
  • Names that won't be embarrassing or offensive if you have to yell your dog's name at the dog park, or if your veterinarian announces your dog's name in the waiting room.
