Suggestions to consider when naming your pooch

Suggestions to consider when naming your pooch



Dogs are commonly referred to as “man’s best friend,” Bow Wow meows has a wide range of pet name to select from.

1. Names often reflect the character of your pet. Observe your dog for a few days and see if his personality suggests a name.

2. Pick a name that the pet can easily recognise. Animals respond better to one or two syllable names. Such as “Sadie” or “Rocky.”

3. Avoid names that sound like commands. Names like “Joe” sound like “no” when called.

4. Choose a name that's both easy to call out and one that you are happy calling out. Calling out a good name in the park may be far less embarrassing.

5. If you have more than one dog, consider choosing names that go well together, but also think how they will sound separately because the dogs may not always be together.

6. If choosing a long name keep in mind the shortened version.

7. Pick a name that will grow with the pet. For example, "Fuzzy" may be less appropriate for a full-grown cat.

8. Get some research done before choosing the name. If you pick something very common, it may create some confusion for your dog when you’re around other dogs in public places.

9. Pick a name that you and the other members of your family like. You’re the ones that will be using it over and over again, so it should be something you all think fits the dog.

10. Don’t name your dog after a friend or family member without getting their prior permission. You never know who could be offended.

11. Other than this, be adventurous!
