Saints vs. Colts? Pet Names Might Predict The Super Bowl Winner!
With the big game’s kick-off this Sunday, everyone’s talking about the Super Bowl and making predictions. While most people look to Las Vegas for the answers, we here in the pet world consult a different authority–Veterinary Pet Insurance Company.
They’re the nation’s oldest and largest provider of medical insurance for pets. Catching a little Super Bowl Fever themselves, they recently analyzed their database of more than 475,000 insured pets to find which Super Bowl XLIV competitor has the most pets named in honor of the team or its players.
While it might not tell you who’s going to win, it definitely lets you know who has the most enthusiastic fans–which might just make a difference on game day. And, just like this years match up on the field, this contest is pretty close! With only three points separating the two, it’s a real nail-biter. Here’s how the two teams stack up:

When it comes to this contest, the Saints come out on top. We’ll see if that holds true on Sunday. But to make sure your pet always looks like a winner, be sure to pick up some game day dog clothes like these football jerseys for dogs or a sports-themed dog or cat collar just for fun.
From your furry fans!
