Top Tips For Naming Your Pet
When choosing a name for your pet, PIA has some great advice.
“Have a couple on hand that you love and see when your new family member comes home which suits better,” Crighton says.
“Personally, I was devoted to one name, and when my puppy came home, we quickly decided it wasn’t the name for her, so she was known as ‘pup’ for around a week until we came up with the perfect name.”
Some other tips include:
Some other tips include:
✔️ Recallability – how easily can you call the name across a dog park?
✔️ Length – choose two-syllable names; it makes it easier for your pet to hear.
✔️ Timelessness – choose a name that will stand the test of time.
✔️ Avoid - try and stay clear of names that sound like training commands.
✔️ Vowels - End the name with a vowel.
“These are not set in stone by any means, but if you are perhaps getting a dog for the first time, ending the name in a vowel will allow your dog to understand their name easier as the tone in your voice will naturally change,” Crighton says. “However, many pets end up with nicknames, some that have no relation to the actual name, and they will tend to follow this process inherently.”
PIA also wants to remind readers of important considerations if you're thinking of buying a pet during Christmas.
"It's a great time of year to invite a furry friend into your home as you'll have more time to settle the new arrival before heading back to work and school," Crighton says.
"However, it is vital to remember that a pet is a long-term commitment and needs to be carefully considered to avoid heartache for you and the pet. Pets need training, consistency, and love alongside food, bedding and lifelong veterinary care, budgeting is important before becoming a pet owner."
