Whether it’s a wagging tail, purring cuddle or a playful bark, Post Consumer Brands knows pets are more than just animals, they’re family. Many of our team members are proud pet parents themselves. It fuels their passion to provide the best care for their furry friends with our high-quality cat and dog brands. April 11 is National Pet Day, and in celebration our team members are sharing their favorite unique and clever pet names.
Monkey and Sam Elliott
Christine, director of regulatory, shares her favorite pet names are close to her heart because they are her own cats’ names! One of her cats is named Monkey for her long curly tail and the other is Sam Elliott. With his infamous white mustache, he struts around the house like he’s the toughest feline in town.
Francis and Kevin McCallister
Lakeville facilities coordinator Ashley named her dog Francis, but the funniest dog name she’s come across is Kevin McCallister, a playful nod to everyone’s favorite Home Alone character. With a few strategically-placed toys and some ferocious barking, he’ll be ready to turn the house into a fortress—no Wet Bandits allowed.
Percy and Blacky
The dynamic duo of Percy the dog and Blacky the cat holds the top spots for Steve, associate HR director. Both are simple, classic choices that are sure to make an impression.
D.O.G. (Dee-oh-jee)
The cleverest dog name Kelly, part of our Facilities team, has heard is a fun take on phonetics, pronounced dee-oh-jee. The veterinary clinic will get a kick out of this one!
Coco and Stella
Social media manager Erin’s favorite pet names are Coco and Stella. You can’t go wrong with classics like those! Coco is sweet and Stella is the sassy star.
Ted
A future dog parent, Maren, on our talent acquisition team, is dreaming of adding a chocolate lab to her family! When she welcomes her four-legged friend, she’s set on naming him Ted.
Cupid
Manager of corporate communications Rebecca adopted her cat Cupid from her local humane society, and it’s the perfect fit for her little lovebug. This name will have your pet shooting arrows of affection wherever they go.
Welcoming a new family member is an exciting time and choosing the right name is an important step.
