Wondering which dog names were trending for 2023? We’ve dug into our data and discovered which dog names were the most popular among new DogWatch customers in the US and Canada from January to November 2022. Check out our list below!

For the sixth year in a row, Bella claimed the top spot on the list. There’s no stopping those “beautiful” pups! New to the list this year is Ellie (#8), which last cracked the top 10 in 2020. Perhaps tribute to the heroine of the video-game-turned-hit-TV-show “The Last of Us”?
