    Choosing a pet name can require a lot of responsibility and thought, as after all your pet is a family member. But have you ever wondered just how unique your cat or dog’s name is? 

    [aoa id=”1″]

    GoCompare has analysed over 500,000 pet names in their pet insurance database and discovered the most popular cat and dog names in Cardiff, Wales and the UK.

    So, whether you’re looking to choose the most popular name or want to go for something a bit more unique, this tool will be sure to come in handy! Just look, we don’t have a pet yet but haven’t stopped searching the database since!

    You can even compare your pet’s name against another… just to see how popular it is!
