Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for a pet to learn their name?
Most pets learn their name within 1-2 weeks with consistent use. Use the name in positive situations, pair it with treats, and avoid changing it once chosen.
Can I rename an adopted pet?
Yes! Pets can learn new names at any age. Be patient and consistent, and your adopted pet will learn their new name. Some owners keep a similar-sounding name to ease the transition.
What names should I avoid for my pet?
Avoid names that sound like commands (like "Kit" which sounds like "sit") and names that might be embarrassing to call out in public. Also consider avoiding very long or complicated names.
