Welcoming a black dog into your home is like adding a touch of elegance (and perhaps a bit of mystery) to your life. Whether you’ve just adopted a sleek Charcoal Lab, a fluffy Newfoundland or a spunky black-and-tan Terrier mix, finding the perfect name is the first step in your journey together.
A name isn't just a label — it's the start of your dog's identity. To give you some inspiration, we’ve rounded up the best names for black dogs based on their coat, personality and the world around us.
There is something powerful about the natural world that perfectly complements a dark coat. These names feel grounded and timeless.
If your dog is like a jolt of energy in your morning, look no further than your favorite coffee shop.
These names are perfect for dogs that are truly out of this world.
Sometimes a name just clicks because it reminds us of our favorite characters or legendary figures.
The Dig, Fetch Pet Insurance's expert-backed editorial, answers all of the questions you forget to ask your vet or are too embarrassed to ask at the dog park. We help make sure you and your best friend have more good days, but we’re there on bad days, too.
