Australian pets get the real VIP treatment these days, with hotels, flights and even cruises catering to their every bark and purr. We think they deserve it too! Our fluffy friends (big or small) bring more joy into our lives than we ever knew we needed. That unconditional love starts from the moment you first lock eyes and are tasked with picking the perfect name.
If you’re looking for inspiration or want to steer clear of the classics, new data from national pet insurance provider Petsy has revealed the top ten dog and cat names in Australia right now.
Just like last year, Luna currently leads the pack as Australia’s favourite dog name – and so far in 2025, it’s also the top pick for cats. Other crossover favourites like Teddy, Charlie and Leo also cracked the top ten for both dogs and cats, proving Aussies treat their pets just like real children.
