What does Shaggy mean?
/ˈʃæɡi/

Shaggy is a straightforward descriptive word for hair or fur that's long, thick, and uncombed. It's also familiar as the name of the perpetually hungry, easygoing character from Scooby-Doo, cementing its laid-back, shaggy-haired image.

Shaggy is a natural, affectionate fit for a pet with a wild, tousled coat that never quite lies flat. It suits an easygoing, unbothered personality as much as a look.
