Spanish dog names - tips

Felicitaciones! You’ve come to the tail-end of our Spanish dog names, and you should by now have settled on the paw-fect name. Still undecided? No problem, we know it’s a big deal. Pup names aren’t just for Navidad. That’s why we’ve broken down our top tips to help you further…

First off, take a day or two to study your canine’s character. What makes them special? (apart from being drop-dead gorgeous, of course). Admire their paw-sonel quirks and traits – are they shy and lovable? Frantic and slightly mischievous? Let these observations guide you.

Second, choose a Spanish dog name that’s easy to pronounce and doesn’t sound like common commands like “sit” or “wait”. This will help avoid any confusion during puppy training, resulting in a happier, more content pooch.

Lastly, bring your potential Spanish dog name to life by calling it out loud. Whether it’s at home or in the park, we recommend closing your eyes and imagining the scenario when you’d call over your pooch for treats, walks or belly rubs. If the same sounds good, then go for it! All we can say now is go forth, and good luck!

Got a trip planned but can’t bring your four-legged friend along? Whether it’s a summer vacation or a weekend away for work, we’re sure “finding a dog sitter near me” is top of your to-do list! Travel with peace of mind with the help of a loving in-house pet sitter, who will give your precious pooch all the care and attention they need from the comfort of your very own home.
