Embrace Pet Insurance reveals top 10 cat and dog names and beyond for 2021

November 11, 2021
dvm360 Staff

Bella and Luna fight over the top 2 spots for both cats and dogs.

If you owned a pet in 2021, it was probably a mixed breed dog named Bella with skin problems…or was it a cat named Luna with gastrointestinal issues?

Dog owners have made one thing clear: 2 syllables is the way to go. Meanwhile, cat owners are consistently making the no-brainer choice of turning to The Lion King for inspiration:
