Sweet snacks give us a dopamine rush, which is just the type of happiness we associate with our dogs. And there’s also nothing sweeter than your pup, right? So it’s obvious why people love naming dogs after desserts – whether they’re small and dainty or on the tubby side.

If you’ve scanned these dessert names and can’t decide which one is best, let us help you pick one that suits your dog and pays respect to what is clearly the best meal of the day. Whether you go all out and name your pup after a classic sweet dish, or you choose something that just hints at sugar and confectionery, people are bound to smile when they hear you calling the name.

For female dogs, Maple is a subtle ode to dessert culture while also reflecting a love for nature and spirituality. We also love Sundae, which has a trendier and slightly sassy sound to it, fitting beautifully for puppy girls of all shapes and sizes.

And for something more unique and a bit more elegant, we highly recommend Marmalade. It might sound like a mouthful at first, but you can easily shorten it to Marmy. That hint of citrus really gives your pup an edge, while also managing to sound classy and traditional. We think it fits smaller dogs best, but can also work well for Golden Labs or Retrievers.
