List of Japanese nicknames for dogs

Another plus of Japanese nicknames is that they are sonorous and short. Thanks to this, the pets and the owners themselves easily remember the chosen name.

In addition, each nickname has its own special meaning, which is very beneficial for the character of the pet.
