Finally, after almost 12 long months, it’s what every pet parent has been waiting for… Healthy Paws releases the top pet names for 2017!

Every pup and kitten deserves a name that lets them shine, and our Healthy Paws pet parents take this very seriously. After all, once you decide on the name, you can go ahead and engrave the tags, and of course, enroll in pet insurance.  After running an exhaustive search of pet names in our database, we’re excited to unleash our findings (pun intended). Thanks to all the pet parents who enrolled in the past year; we couldn’t have done it without you!

  • Top dog names this year are Cooper and Bella (last year’s winner, Charlie, got pushed down one position, but Bella stays on the throne!).
  • Top cat names are, for the second year in a row, Oliver and Luna.

And we’ve got more! We also found ten of the most unique names of pets enrolled here at Healthy Paws. Scroll on to see our faves.
