Best cannabis names for dogs: Top list for your buddy.
Alright, so yesterday I was chilling, right? And my buddy hits me up, he's like, "Dude, I just got a new puppy, but I'm totally blanking on names. I want something... you know... special." He winks. So I knew exactly what he meant. He wanted some cannabis-themed names for his new dog.

First thing I did? Google, of course. I typed in "cannabis names for dogs" – plain and simple. Got a bunch of lists, which was a good starting point. Lots of the usual suspects, like "Kush" and "Indica," which are fine, but kinda... obvious, you know?
I started brainstorming. I thought about strains. Like, "Maui" (for Maui Wowie) sounds pretty cool, and it’s got that chill vibe. Then I thought about "Diesel," but that felt a little too aggressive for a puppy, even if it is a badass name. My buddy's dog is a golden retriever, super friendly.
Then, I shifted gears. Instead of strains, I considered related terms. "Nugget" popped into my head right away. It’s cute, works for any small dog, and has that subtle nod. I also thought about "Bud," classic, can’t go wrong. But I wanted something a little more unique.
So, I started thinking about the feel of being high. Relaxed, right? Chill. "Mellow" could work, but again, a bit obvious. "Dazed" was funny, but maybe a bit mean for a dog.
I even thought about characters from movies that are… let’s say, associated with cannabis culture. Like Cheech or Chong, but those felt too human. Then it hit me: "Lebowski." The Dude! It's a cool name, and people who get the reference will really get it.
After a solid hour of this, I compiled a list for my buddy:
- Nugget
- Maui
- Lebowski
- Indica
- Kush
- Bud
He ended up going with "Nugget." He said it just fit the dog's personality perfectly. Little fluffy and golden.
Honestly, it was a fun little project. Made me think outside the box. Next time someone asks me for pet name ideas, I'll be ready!

And hey, if you're reading this and looking for a cannabis-themed dog name, maybe this gave you some inspiration. Just remember, choose something that fits your dog’s personality!
