In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. (VPI,) the nation’s first and largest provider of pet health insurance, analyzed its database of more than 525,000 insured pets to find the five most common Irish dog breeds, Irish beer-inspired pet names, and St. Patrick’s Day monikers. Below are the results (total number of pets enrolled/sharing name in parenthesis):
The Irish wolfhound didn’t stray far from its Emerald Isle roots with the most common name amongst the breed being the traditional Irish surname, “Finnegan.” Other popular Irish themed monikers included 123 companions named “Jameson,” a world famous Irish whiskey, and 118 pets named “Dublin,” the capital and largest city of Ireland.
