Top Ten Dog Names

There is nothing better than bringing a new dog into the family, whether he is a puppy or is rescued from a shelter.  But what will you name him - or her!? 

We have come across a great list of top ten dog names for both male and female dogs.  Maybe one of these will give you a great idea for your dog's name.

For male dogs, the number one name is Max, followed by Jake, Buddy, Bailey, Sam, Rocky, Buster, Casey, Cody and Duke. For females, the top dog name is Maggie.  Moving down the list is Molly, Lady, Sadie, Lucy, Daisy, Ginger, Abby, Sasha and Sandy.

One of our favorites that was not on the list?  "Dog," however it is pronounced "Dee-OH-Gee."  Get it?  D - O - G?

Virginia Changes Rabies Law

Virginia has passed a new law requiring veterinarians to send a copy of each new rabies vaccination certificate to the owner’s local treasury office.  In turn, the government will send a bill to the dog owner for a license. 

Some dog owners have shown opposition to the state’s new law, fearing their personal information will be available to activists and others who may oppose dog owner rights.  In site of this, the Virginia Veterinary Medical Association is asking veterinarians to decline rabies vaccinations to dogs whose owners refuse to comply with the new law. 

Last year, there were 377 confirmed cases of rabies in dogs in Virginia.  Some fear the numbers may increase if owners are denied injections or choose to refuse the vaccine in lieu of the new law.  The state denies possible privacy issues, and is encouraging all dog owners to vaccinate their dogs against rabies.
