Choosing your pet’s name

Firstly, the team at Pet Insurance Australia shared some tips on choosing your pet’s name:

  • Does the name carry well when you call it out?
  • Consider two-syllable names that are easier to hear for our pets.
  • Have a few names ready and see which one your pet best suits.
  • Choose a name that will suit your pet as they age.
