You know you’re making a huge commitment when you give a dog a forever home. However, you also know that having a furry pet in the house will also be fun. One of the best things about getting a new dog is finding the perfect name for your new canine pal, but that can be easier said than done.

Most of us love cartoons. Cartoons take us back to childhood and bring up memories of Saturday mornings curled up on the couch with a big bowl of cereal. Some of the best cartoon characters from those times were dogs.

Even if you’re not looking to name your new pet after a cartoon dog but a cartoon character instead, we have you covered. In the guide below, we’ll give you our favorite picks, from the oldies but goodies like Scooby-Doo to modern favorites such as Balto, so you can decide based on the cartoon character you love.

How to Name Your Dog After a Cartoon Character

You know you want to name your dog after one of your favorite cartoon characters, but you’re struggling to pick the best one. It’s important to remember that there are no wrong names for your canine friend. However, it’s best to choose one that doesn’t sound like one of your training commands or another family member’s because that can confuse your pet.

Dogs respond best to one or two-syllable words, but you could also give them a long name but shorten it with a nickname. When it comes to cartoon character names, there’s a ton to choose from. So, join us as we give you our top picks for the best cartoon names for dogs.
