Like most veterinarians, I have clients who are truly, shall we say, creative when it comes to naming their pets.
My wonderful Natural Pet staff and I often laugh for days after we've had a visit from Sergeant Sausage, the dachshund … or Prudence Prissypants, the Himalayan.
Since I don't dare share some of the stranger names of my own patients (HIPAA privacy laws and all), I asked my team to keep their eyes and ears open and create a list of wacky, unique pet names I could share with my Mercola Healthy Pets readers.
So without further ado, here are 30 truly off the wall pet names. Some will have you laughing hysterically ... others will leave you wondering, "What in the world …?"
