What does Caramel mean?
/ˈkæɹ.ə.mɛl/

Caramel names the soft, golden-brown confection made by slowly cooking sugar, and the English word traces back through French to the Spanish caramelo, ultimately rooted in old terms for cane sugar. Its warm hue also makes it a natural word for describing a pet's coloring.

Sweet and cozy, it's an easy fit for a pet with a rich golden or tan coat — a name that sounds as warm and inviting as the treat itself.
