Do you name your pets for the personality they have or the one you’d like them to have?

Is Rascal a rascal because of his name or did you call him Rascal because he was a little devil?

It’s complicated, but we always decide. Funnily enough, one new survey has found most of us actually come to the same decision.

A new survey from Rent.com.au found Bella to be the most popular pet name for both dogs and cats.

The survey also found that Queensland was the most pet-friendly renting state and dogs are by far (68%) the most popular pet for Australian renters.

Impressive when you consider the amount of extra attention they require.

The data was gathered through a series of Pet Resumes, a new concept from Rent.com.au aiming to bridge the gap between the demand for pet-friendly rentals the limited supply of available properties.

Rent.com.au CEO Greg Bader said: “A Pet Resume can build a real case for responsible pet ownership. It shows a tenant’s honest and open approach to taking responsibility for their pets.”
