Most Popular and Unusual Dog Names

2010's Most Popular & Unusual Dog Names Revealed
Brea, California

The nation's oldest and largest provider of pet health insurance has revealed that Bella the most popular dog name among it's customers for the second year running.

Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI) analyzed the names of the pets of more than half a million customers to come up with a list of the most popular. After 6 years at the top, Max was knocked off the top spot in the 2009 list and Bella became the most popular name for dogs - a phenomenon VPI calls the "Twilight Effect", because of the character Bella Swan in the vampire-themes movies. While Bella has retained the number one spot, the name Max decreased further in popularity and was replaced by Bailey as the second most popular dog name.

Top 10 Dog Names:

• Bella
• Bailey
• Max
• Lucy
• Molly
• Buddy
• Maggie
• Daisy
• Charlie
• Sophie

"We know that nearly half of pet owners today view their pets as a part of their family," said Curtis Steinhoff, director of Corporate Communications at VPI. "Given that pets are considered family members, it makes sense that pet owners are selecting human-oriented names like Max or Charlie."

Of the nearly half a million pets insured by VPI, only 13 were named "Fido", reflecting the current trend of owners giving their pets human names. Nearly every dog name on VPI's Top Ten Dog Names list doubles as a popular human name. The company also wanted to find out the most unusual dog names in the company's database. VPI employees selected 50 unusual dog names and voted for the 10 most unusual. They voted "Pickle Von Corndog" as the most unusual, followed by (in descending order): "Lord Chubby Pruneface", "Badonkadonnk", "Ninjastar Dangerrock", "Molly McBoozehound", "Dog Vader", "Flopsy Squeakerton", "Bettie Poops", "Geez Louise" and "Barnaby Bones".

Kroger Recalls 10 Pet Food Varieties

Kroger Recalls 10 Pet Food Varieties in 19 States
Cincinnati, Ohio

The Kroger Co. is recalling multiple brands of pet foods sold across the United States because they may contain a toxin produced by fungi.

The Kroger Co. said today it is recalling select packages of pet food sold in some of its retail stores because the products may contain aflatoxin, which poses a health risk to pets. Aflatoxins are naturally occurring mycotoxins producted by many species of the Aspergillus family of fungus, and are considered as among the most carcinogenic substances known. Ingestion of aflatoxin can potentially lead to liver disease in dogs, but consumption of a small amount would need to be repeated for weeks or months for signs of liver dysfunction to appear. Some scientific studies have suggested that aflatoxin would need to be present at 100-300 parts-per-billion for a prolonged period for the substance to have toxic effects. Kroger has so far declined to release any information on the level of aflatoxin that may be present in the recalled pet food.

Kroger stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia are affected. The recall also includes Dillons and Gerbes stores in Kansas and Missouri; Baker’s stores in Nebraska; Food 4 Less stores in Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana (Chicago area); and Jay C, Hilander, Owen’s, Pay Less and Scott’s stores in Illinois and Indiana.

The company is recalling selected packages of Pet Pride Cat Food, Pet Pride Cat Food, Pet Pride Tasty Blend Poultry & Seafood Cat Food, Pet Pride Kitten Formula Food, Old Yeller Chunk Dog Food, Kroger Value Cat Food and Kroger Value Chunk Dog Food. The best-by dates and UPC codes of the affected products are available from the company's website.

The Kroger Co. has asked consumers of the affected products to monitor their pets for symptoms of illness, including sluggishness or lethargy combined with a reluctance to eat, yellowish tint to the eyes and/or gums, and severe or bloody diarrhea. If any of these symptoms appear, they recommend consulting your veterinarian immediately.

Australian Shepherd Wins AKC/Eukanuba National Championship !

Australian Shepherd Wins AKC/Eukanuba National Championship
Long Beach, California

An Australian Shepherd has scooped $50,000 in prize money after winning Best in Show at the 2010 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.

The Australian Shepherd called CH Propwash Reckon, pet named "Reckon", won the Herding Group before winning the coveted Best in Show award at the Long Beach Convention Center on Sunday night. Judge Mrs. Jean Fournier selected Reckon from a strong field of Best in Group winners, including a German Wirehaired Pointer (Sporting), a Whippet (Hound), a Portuguese Water Dog (Working), a Smooth Fox Terrier (Terrier), a Pekingese (Toy), and a Bichon Frise (Non-Sporting). Reckon, from Kensington, New Hampshire, and owned by Leslie Frank and Judy Harrington, was judged Best in Show out of nearly 2,500 dogs of 167 different AKC-registered breeds.

"We're pleased to award Reckon with The Eukanuba Celebration of Champions trophy, which features a likeness of all AKC/Eukanuba National Champions, plus a check for $50,000 and a year's supply of Eukanuba dog food," said Dan Rajczak, Senior Vice President, Global P&G Pet Care and Snacks.

Of the 167 AKC-registered breeds that were entered to compete, the breeds with the largest number of representatives were the French Bulldogs, Samoyeds, Border Collies, Siberian Huskies, Australian Shepherds, Basset Hounds and Golden Retrievers, each with over 30 dogs taking part. The two-day event was held in conjunction with the AKC Agility Invitational and the AKC Obedience Invitational, the Junior Showmanship competition, and the Eukanuba World Challenge. Combined, these events hosted 3,233 competing dogs.

"We are proud to have Reckon join the family of Best in Show winners at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. We had a record-breaking entry this year of highly competitive canine athletes in conformation, agility, obedience and the Eukanuba World Challenge. Congratulations to all the winners," said Show Chairman Ron Menaker.

Dogs rescued in Missouri

64 Dogs Rescued From 3 Properties In Missouri
St. Clair County, Missouri

Animal rescue shelters in Missouri are struggling to cope with 64 dogs relinquished to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA®) last week.

In one case, 25 dogs were rescued from a puppy mill in St. Clair County, where the owner stated she was overwhelmed and had to reduce the number of dogs in her care. The dogs were relinquished to Half-way Home Pet Rescue in Cedar County, which contacted the ASPCA for assistance. The ASPCA team included four responders and a 60-foot-long animal transport trailer, which is stationed in Missouri and designed to meet demands of large-scale emergency situations. As part of the emergency relief efforts, PetSmart Charities® provided supplies, including pet transport carriers and crates.

In another case, the ASPCA rescued 17 dogs from a private residence in Osceola after a court order for removal of the dogs was issued because their elderly owner could no longer care for herself or the dogs, many of which had gotten loose in the community. The Lab/shepherd mixes range in age from four weeks to nine years and were living in a wooded, debris-filled area. In yet another case, 22 dogs were removed by the ASPCA, working under the authority of the Morgan County Sheriff's Department, from a residence in Stover. The dogs included six newborn puppies and were a variety of breeds, including poodle/Yorkie mixes, Pomeranians, rat terriers, beagles, and Rottweiler/hound mixes. Many of the dogs suffered from untreated medical conditions and matted fur and did not have adequate food and water. ASPCA investigators also learned that some dogs had been shot and buried on the property, with 10 deceased dogs being recovered from gravesites.

The dogs from the Osceola and Stover properties are being housed at a temporary shelter in St. Clair and received full medical exams, treatment and grooming by a team of shelter professionals. Through its newly formed shelter response partnership, the ASPCA is working with Wayside Waifs in Kansas City to take 44 dogs and the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri in Springfield to take 15. These two organizations will work to place the dogs into adoptive homes.

The ASPCA is using these cases to highlight "Proposition B", also known as the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act, which will appear on the state's November ballot. Proposition B promotes the humane treatment of dogs in Missouri's large-scale commercial dog kennels, which will improve the lives of dogs by requiring large-scale breeding operations to limit the number of breeding female dogs to 50, as well as provide each dog with common sense standards such as sufficient food and clean water, regular veterinary care, adequate housing and space, and access to regular exercise.

Californian Vets Issue Dog Park Safety Warning

Californian Vets Issue Dog Park Safety Warning
Sacramento, California

California's veterinary association has warned that while dog parks can be fun there are risks involved that many dog owners might not have considered.

The California Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) has released safety tips detailing how to keep your pet safe when visiting your local dog park. According to the CVMA, high on your list of priorities should be protecting your dog against disease and parasites by making sure your dog's vaccinations are current, and taking some simple precautions to prevent cross-infection. For example, they suggest bringing your own water for your dog so as to avoid using water stations that might be a source of disease, and cleaning your dog's paws when you leave the park to minimize the risk of parasites or diseases from the soil.

"Dog parks are fun places to exercise and socialize your dog," says CVMA president Dean Henricks, DVM. "However, they can also harbor health risks. It's important for dog owners to take a few precautions."

From a behavioral point of view, Henricks recommends making sure your dog is socialized to other dogs and people before sampling the dog park experience. You should also always keep an eye on your dog to prevent fights, and always follow the dog park rules for licensing requirements, leash laws and minimum-age requirements for children. Above all, you need to remember that you are legally responsible for your dog. Owners of small dogs should also try to use any seperate areas specifically for smaller breeds. Henricks says that untrained larger dogs may perceive them as prey or engage in rough play.

"The dog park experience isn't right for every dog," cautions Dr. Henricks. "But if your pet loves them so doggone much, by following the CVMA's tips, you should have a fun and safe visit."
