Dr. Patty Khulyx<\/p><\/div>\n

According to a recent post in USA Today<\/a>, many veterinarians have distinct opinions on what we name our animals.
\n“Less-than-fetching pet names can reflect back on owners,” Florida-based veterinarian Dr. Patty Khuly says that what a cat or dog is named can reveal quite a bit about the pet parent.<\/p>\n

So what does your pet’s name say about you?<\/p>\n

Whether it’s the twentysomething’s Rottweiler named “FUBAR” or the newlywed couple’s first kitten registered as “Emma,” veterinarians usually get the picture.<\/p>\n

Dr. Khuly says that trends and the person’s attitude toward their pet is reflected in their name and their name reflects back on you.<\/p>\n

“Though I may make fun, I do understand that our pets’ names are justifiably sacred. The bond we share with them gets its early start when we offer them a denomination (or epithet, as the case may be) and is constantly reinforced with each call and response.”<\/p>\n

That’s right.\u00a0 Just don’t make fun of me for having no imagination because I named our white cat…White Cat.<\/p>\n
