Guess what pet lovers, Pet Insurance Australia has just announced the Top 10 Pet Names in 2016? “Naming a pet is such a special time in the lives of many pet owners,” says Nadia Crighton from Pet Insurance Australia. “It’s great to see some of the classics making a return this year like Buddy and Coco alongside new emerging names such as Simba and Luna.” Seems Bella, Charlie and even Coco are also the golden names of the season, having made it on both the dog and cat list.

With many expecting the pitter patter of tiny pads over the holiday season, PIA suggests taking your time with naming your beloved new friend. “A great tip when considering a name for your new pet is to have a few to choose from,” suggests Nadia. “Sometimes you’ll have a certain name in mind then when your pet arrives home, the name simply doesn’t suit them.”

It’s also a good idea to be sensible in your naming choice.
“Remember, that your precious pup or kitten will be a cherished family member for up to 20 years, so choose a name that will suit them when they are fully grown dogs or cats.”
