If you got your pup from a breeder and they’ve never had a name — or maybe just had a temporary one — you’ll have to pick your very own. If you adopted a dog from a shelter and aren’t a fan of the name they came with, you might be wondering if you can change it without causing the dog too much confusion (yes, you can!). Today we focus on dog names that start with P.
You could choose color-based names based on your dog’s coat, or look at different languages, but whatever you look at, you’re guaranteed to have a dilemma when choosing the name. This is the name you’re going to be hearing for a long time, and your dog will too — maybe even for the next fifteen years or so! Take your time and pick the perfect name. This might involve thinking about which letters you like and going from there.
For example, if you like names beginning with M, take a look at the best dog names that start with M. We have a handy list here for you!

Don’t be afraid to change things up if you like the general idea of one but something doesn’t feel quite right. You can change the spelling to put a unique twist on any of these, or use a typically masculine name for a female dog (or vice versa).
You don’t have to stick to what’s expected with your name. The most important thing about your dog’s name is that you love it.
