Berry is sweet, simple, and rolls off the tongue like a juicy summer fruit. Plus, it's a nod to pop culture icons like Berry Gordy, founder of Motown, or Halle Berry, who's as fierce and accomplished as any guard dog.

For the etymology nerds, 'Berry' means 'small fruit', making it very appropriate for smaller-sized furballs. And history buffs, I haven't forgotten about you either. The Berry Amendment protects our dogs' right to American-made treats, so why not shine a spotlight on it by naming your pup Berry?
