best indian dog names
Shuffling through the best dog names to arrive at one is perhaps the cutest responsibility you may have as a pet parent.

Adopting a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences in life, sure it comes with great responsibilities, perhaps the first of them – choosing from a list of best dog names for your forever buddy.

Tips for choosing your dog’s name

  1. Choose a Name That Ends With a Vowel – Dogs distinguish frequency ranges at a much higher level than we do. With a vowel name, it’s really easy to get their attention.
  2. Dogs Prefer ‘Short’ Sounds so a short name suits them more. Also worth noting is that names eventually get trimmed, Kaalicharan becomes Kaali.
  3. Try not to name your dog after controversial figures – what did the doggo do to deserve the infamy? So Hitler, Kim Jong, and Osama are outta contention.
  4. Test out your favourite choices with your dog to see which one he prefers.
