Popular pet names



The summer time is a great time to introduce a new furry friend to the household, making a great Christmas gift and with time over the holiday break to help them settle in.

But it can be tough to settle on a name, so here are some tips for choosing the best name for your new pet.

* Does the name carry well when you call it out?

* Consider two-syllable names that are easier to hear for our pets.

* Have a few names ready and see which one your pet best suits.

* Choose a name that will suit your pet as they age.
