Tips for Naming Your Dog
Naming a dog can sometimes feel like a daunting task, so before settling on a name, be sure to consider factors like your new pup’s physical characteristics, personality, and coat. Just like naming a child, you’ll also want to consider how easy the name is to pronounce (it may be even more important when naming a dog, as you’ll want to be sure that he or she is able to learn their name) as well as the fact that it should be a name that you’ll be comfortable sharing with your friends, family, and veterinarian. Also 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.
