The document provides tips for naming a new dog. It suggests choosing a name that does not sound like a command to avoid confusion, ends in a long vowel sound for the same reason, and will be appropriate for others to hear in public settings. The document also recommends observing the dog's personality for naming inspiration and potentially honoring a famous dog. It advises against naming the dog after a person you know or making the name too complicated, and allows time for the right name to emerge naturally.

1. You have made the fun and life-changing
decision to add a dog to your household. The
only problem is, you can’t figure out what to
name him.
 Fortunately, NuVet is here to help with a few
naming dos and don’ts that we think you may
find helpful.
Keep reading to learn some helpful naming
tips.

2. Dos:
Make sure it doesn’t sound like a command
 Because learning commands is really important
for your dog, you will want to make sure that
you do not select a name that is very similar to
a command as your dog could become
confused.
 For example, don’t name your dog “Clay”
because it sounds a lot like “stay” and “Flo”
sounds really similar to “no”.

3. Have it end in a long vowel
 By selecting a name that ends with a longer
vowel sound you can help avoid any confusion
with shorter consonant ending commands.
 In other words, your pup won’t get his name
confused with a command.
 For example, the name “Sparky” doesn’t come
close to “Sit,” “Stay,” “Down,” or “No.”

4. Remember who will be hearing it
 Make sure to keep in mind other people will be
hearing your dog’s name.
 When you go to the vet, the groomer, the dog
park or anywhere else with your pup people
are going to hear you address your canine
friend.
 Choosing a name that is offensive or
inappropriate could upset somebody or cause
problems.

5. Observe your dog’s personality
 One great way to come up with a fitting name
for your pup is to observe him or her for a
while.
 Take a few days or more to get to know your
new friend.
 Notice any quirky, cute behavior inherent in
your dog.
 It could help you pick out the perfect and
enduring name.

6. Pay homage to a famous dog
 Another great way to come up with a name for
your dog is to select a name from that long list
of famous dogs.
 Benji, Lassie or Clifford are a few to pick from.
 You may find that your special friend reminds
you of a famous and endearing canine.
 Look for that special name in favorite books,
films, cartoons and even politics.

7. Don’ts:
Don’t name your dog after somebody you know
 It is generally not a good idea to name your
dog after somebody you know.
 No matter how good your intentions are the
possibility exists that you could hurt feelings or
cause offense.
 When coming up with a name keep the family
tree, workplace, or your circle of friends out of
it.

8. Don’t make it complicated
 Dog’s respond best to simple names. One or
two syllable names are always the best.
 Anything long or complicated will just cause
confusion and could be unsuccessful.
 Names that start with sharp consonants, s, k or
c all good places to start.

9. Don’t rush into it
 Don’t feel like you need to come up with a name
immediately.
 Take your time to get to know your dog. There is
no rule on when your dog should have an official
name.
 It won’t even hurt to try a few of your top picks to
see how they roll off the tongue or how your dog
responds to them.
 You might find your dog has a preference, in
which case your job just became easier!

10. Don’t change it
 If you are adopting a dog that already has a name
the general rule of thumb is not to change it,
especially if your pooch is perfectly happy with it.
 If you absolutely must change the name (for
example your new canine friend just happens to
have your least favorite high school teacher’s
name) then pick a name that sounds similar.
 So, if you have a hard time reconciling your
awesome new friend with the name “Barry” see if
you can tolerate “Jerry” or “Harry”.

11.  Coming up with a name for your new friend
should be fun and special.
 Don’t rush into it. You’ll know when you find
it. And remember to keep it simple.
 Another part of your dog’s life you should
keep simple is your choice when it comes to a
nutritious vitamin.
 Comprised of high-quality, human grade
ingredients NuVet Plus is an easy choice when
it comes to keeping your dog healthy.
