Picking The Perfect Name For Your Pet

July 21, 2017

Agreeing with other family members can be the biggest struggle. These tools should help.

Some Options

Boy and puppyTry thinking of someone that inspires you. This can be the name of a singer or actor you like, or TV characters. Naming your pet after someone famous can be comical yet cute. Even brand names can be persuasive. Such like, Prada, Porsche or Armani.

Think of your hobbies as well. If you enjoy science, elements on the periodic table can be used as a name, like Nickel. If you like to cook, there are foods and desserts that can be used for naming. Some examples are Pickles, Oreo and Pumpkin. If you like to travel, names such as Paris, Denver and Vegas can be used from around the globe.

Together Forever

Create a list of names to choose from and have a family meeting to narrow the list down to one special name. Brainstorming is needed, and Google can be a helpful place to look if you are having any trouble. There is just one mandatory objective, everyone needs to agree.

It’s easier for pets to identify and get used to their name if it is shorter. One or two syllable names are recommended. Speaking of your pet, providing a name based on his or her personality or physical features can be done as well.

Something To Keep In Mind

At all times avoid a name that could offend someone, you don’t want to insult neighbours or possibly the vet.

This sometimes-challenging process is great for letting out some creativity and adds to the family bonding experience. Choose something you can connect too.

“Pets don't really care what you call them, as long as you call them for dinner”.

Dog Breed of the Month - Afghan Hound

June 29, 2017
This breed is very majestic and ancient. They are known for their speed. Afghan Hounds actually hunt by speed and sight and not by scent and were bred to track animals like deer and gazelles. They can reach a speed of 65 kilometres an hour. Like a race horse, it’s all in the hips. It is in their nature to chase what they see so a fenced in yard is recommended along with some monitoring. One hour of physical activity a day is required.

Summer Heat Warnings

June 12, 2017
Provide clean and cool drinking water that’s placed near some shade. It is never a bad idea to place several bowls of water, and space for your pet to walk around in the shade. Even placing a chair for your dog or cat to lay under helps provide a shade.

Exercise Essentials

May 31, 2017
A pet is most motivated to play and let out some energy when they are in the company of their owner. A playmate is always loved. If neighbours have another dog, go to a park as a group and increase the want to move. Your community might also have some planned activities, or a local dog walker.

Their faces look like monkeys because of the pushed in ape look. In German, Affenpinscher translates to monkey terrier, hence the name.
