Does your dog seem to always be down on his luck? Is he accident-prone, frequently under-the-weather or eating something he shouldn’t? Perhaps that’s in part to his unlucky name?
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day (and in the spirit of fun!), PetPlan Pet Insurance sorted through half a million claims records and found the names of dogs that visited the veterinarian most often. As it turned out, some of those pets had something in common – their names!
Here’s how some popular (but unlucky) pets placed:
Top 10 Accident-Prone Dog Names*:
1. Stella
2. Tucker
3. Dakota
4. Emma
5. Jake
6. Cooper
7. Riley
8. Teddy
9. Winston
10. Gracie
Top 10 Under-the-Weather Dog Names**:
1. Henry
2. Scout
3. Kona
4. Gus
5. Tucker
6. Stella
7. Riley
8. Gracie
9. Winston
10. Rocco
Top 10 Dogs Most Likely to Eat Something They Shouldn’t:
1. Oscar
2. Jackson
3. Tucker
4. Murphy
5. Jack
6. Stella
7. Teddy
8. Sam
9. Lily
10. Ruby
Look closely and you’ll see that Petplan found one unlucky four-legged friend that could REALLY use a little luck: Tucker. Dogs sharing the name made the top ten in all three categories!
Here’s wishing all your furriest family members a little luck o’ the Irish. Health, happiness, and lots of love in 2020!

There are no such types of names which are unlucky.
This is our mindset else all names are good.
Change your mindset you will be perfect.
All Dogs are lucky.
whoever is keeping a dog is a lucky guy.
Thanks.

I think Isabella should be on a list because she is always picking a fight or being unlucky crazy
