Your Guide to Naming Your Pet After the Toronto Maple Leafs

The gift giving of the holiday season is winding down. If one of the presents you received for Hanukkah, Omisoka, Kwanzaa, or Christmas is a new addition to the family in the form of a furry or even scaled friend, then keep reading. There’s a lot of work ahead. Besides feeding and walking your new pet, the most difficult task will be to name it. As a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, giving a team themed name is a must.

Even if you have just adopted a pet with a non-Maple Leafs name, it may need an upgrade.

According to PetMD, renaming an adopted pet is common. It can take between days and weeks for that pet to learn and respond to its new name. So, don’t waste any time. Take a look at the pet naming guide below for help.

The best place to begin is with the canines.
