Tips for Naming Your Dog

Before settling on a name, be sure to consider factors like your new pup's physical characteristics, personality, and coat. Also, consider how easy a name is to pronounce, and how easy it will be for your dog to learn their name. Plus, it should be a name that you'll be comfortable sharing with your friends, family, and veterinarian.

If you’re having a lot of trouble, keep in mind that you don't necessarily have to name your dog right away— sometimes, it can actually help to wait until you get to know them better before making the final decision.
