The most popular dog breeds and names in Western Australia for 2022 have been revealed.

HCF Pet Insurance data has shown the most popular dog breed was a Staffordshire Bull Terrier followed by a Maltese Cross, Labrador, Kelpie Cross and Border Collie.

The top dog names were Coco, Molly, Luna, Buddy and Bella.

A survey of more than 1000 people by HCF also found 57 per cent of dog owners said overall their dog makes them happier than any other family member while 29 per cent of married dog owners said they would prefer to share their bed with their dog rather than their partner.

HCF Chief Officer Product & Diversified Business Lorraine Thomas said the survey results were a nod to just how integrated dogs were into Australian family lives.

“Pets bring great comfort to their owners and can also provide so many health benefits, from being a good reason to get out of the house and go for a walk, to being a calming companion that lends an ear and almost never answers back,” Ms Thomas said.
