<\/p>\nIf your family is welcoming a new, slightly hairier member to its brood over Christmas (or you\u2019re just a certified festive fan), you may be looking for a sweet and seasonally appropriate name to christen your new pet with.<\/p>\n
To mark the season, you may want to give your canine or cat a Christmas-themed name and so we\u2019ve put together a big long list to rival Santa\u2019s elves, without a naughty name in sight.<\/p>\n
Featuring monikers based on festive film and music favourites, classic traditions, winter weather and a whole host more, you\u2019re guaranteed to find a noel-inspired name that suits your four-legged friend better than any other!<\/p>\n
After all, there\u2019s no nicer present you can give your new pet than a name to call their very own.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Angel<\/strong> – Always top of the Christmas tree Bell<\/strong> or Jingle Bells<\/strong> – Every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings! Arctic<\/strong> – Where the north pole is! Antler<\/strong> – A reindeer\u2019s headpiece! Biscuit<\/strong> – How many boxes do you go through at Christmas? We hope this list has given you bags of inspiration for your new pets name.<\/p>\n And while many pet owners are responsible, unfortunately, there is still a large number of pets that are returned after Christmas<\/a>. Take time to think about the idea and read our animal care guides including our Dog Care Guide<\/a>\u00a0to make sure you’re truly ready to take on the large responsibility of owning a pet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If your family is welcoming a new, slightly hairier member to its brood over Christmas (or you\u2019re just a certified […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7569,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[183],"tags":[],"post_type1":[19],"class_list":["post-7555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","post_type1-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7555"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7555\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12900,"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7555\/revisions\/12900"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7555"},{"taxonomy":"post_type1","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.petz.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_type1?post=7555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
