Maryland Pets: Here's What's Popular

Maryland Pets: Here's What's Popular

Pets: we love them, no matter where we're from. But different regions prefer different pets, and different names for those pets, and we've always wondered what Marylanders like when it comes to our furry friends. Let's check out the data!

Most popular dog name: Luna

If you've chosen to call your pup Luna, you're not alone! Luna was the most pup-ular name for dogs in Maryland (as well as in Minnesota and Michigan). Luna's a playful name that's connected to the moon -- perfect for your dog's inner wolf. 

Most popular cat name: Bella

Call it the enduring popularity of Twilight, or maybe it's just a cute and easy name to call out -- either way, more cats in Maryland were named Bella than any other name.

Most popular dog breeds in Maryland

Labradors: Marylanders aren't alone in loving this breed. They're the most popular dog in nearly every state! They're well-loved for being great family dogs and have been super-popular for decades, meaning you probably grew up with a lab if your family had dogs.

German Shepherds: These smart and loyal dogs took second place for Marylanders -- and they're the most popular choice for our neighbors in West Virginia. 

Golden Retrievers: The classic all-American dog is the third-most popular choice for Maryland owners! They're gorgeous, friendly, and love to play.
