Top dog and puppy names

Buying a puppy is an exciting adventure, but picking the perfect name for them can be quite difficult.

We've put together a list of our most popular boy and girl puppy names, as well as unusual and unisex dog names! To create this list we have looked at all of the names of dogs that we've helped, from our rehoming centres to our veterinary hospitals.

Tip

Whatever name you decide to give your dog, make sure you put in some time to help your dog learn their name. Read more here about dog and puppy training
