Choosing the Right Name for Your New Pet
Many families get a new pet for the holidays. Choosing the right animal for your family may have been an easy task, but choosing a name can be tricky. Here are some useful tips on how to choose a name for your new pet:
- Pick a name that is short and sweet. Your pet will be more likely to recognize their own name if you choose a name with one or two syllables.
- Avoid names that sound close to a command. For example, the name ‘Bo’ sounds close to ‘No’ and could confuse your pet.
- Wait a few days to study your new pet’s behavior before choosing a name. Once you get to know your pet’s personality, a name may come easier.
- Pick a name that will grow well with your pet. Choose a name that will be a good fit as your pet ages.
