Everyone knows that adopting a pet requires a lot of care and preparation. Whether it’s a dog, a cat, a fish, a bird, a hamster… Any pet can change our routine a lot.
And in addition to the entire preparation ritual – which involves calculating the space where the pet will live, the food and accessories that will be taken care of for its health and what your routine will be like with this new resident, for example – there is a very important moment that will mark your pet forever: choosing your pet's name!
At this point, the ritual of naming your pet is up to each person. Some people choose a name that they think suits their pet, pays homage to something or someone, or even choose something that they really like to become their pet's name.
This can be a fun time for most people, as this is the moment when owners let their creativity flow and you can choose any name.
