Bella is the most popular dog name in Kent and Max the most popular cat name.

Regional Animal Services of King County partnered with the office of County Councilmember Reagan Dunn, who represents parts of the city of Kent, to release the top 10 names of licensed pets in 2015.

“Licensing your pets is one of the most important things you can do as a pet owner,” said Councilmember Dunn. “Licensing your pet not only helps to protect your pet if it ever becomes lost, it also helps fund the life-saving work of Regional Animal Services of King County.”

Pet owners who register their pets with the county can rest assured that found pets can be reunited quickly with their owner. Your pet can even get a free ride home the first time it’s found, letting you skip a trip to the animal shelter.

Kent contracts with the county for animal services.

“When we care enough about our pets to name them and make them a part of our families, we assume responsibility for their safety,” said Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke. “On the occasions I have found a stray animal, it was heart-warming to be able to locate its owner through King County Animal Services because it was licensed. Make it a rule to tag up so pets can get home safe.”
