How to say the word dogs in Spanish
If you are a dog lover and are learning Spanish, then you must be already to know how to say dog. However, as you may have noticed, in most cases in Spanish, we have other popular terms for the same word.
So even if perro is the standard term for “dog” in Spanish, you can actually use other very common words for the same purpose. So, in this article, we say “dog” in Spanish in 11 different ways.
Although these terms are very common, some of them are only applicable to certain situations or certain types of dogs.
In addition, some words may only be used in a few Spanish-speaking countries, while others will be standard terms. Please read the following instructions and examples carefully and then choose the best choice for you and your four-legged friend.
By this point, you will know how to say dog in Spanish in many different ways just like a native Spanish-speaking dog.
1. Perro –Dog
As you probably already know, “Perro” is one of the most popular and standard terms for “dog” in Spanish. This word can also be used in formal and informal situations, and as a standard term, it is popular in all Spanish-speaking countries.
“Perro” is a generic term that Spanish speakers will use to refer to any type of dog. However, keep in mind that in Spanish, gender is very important. Therefore, if you are referring to a female dog, you will need to use the term ” perra“.
Here are some examples of how “perro” and “perra” are used in real life.
Please note that the basic structure below is very general and you can add or remove adjectives to describe your dog.
[Subject] + [Verb conjugated] + [determiner] + perro/perra +(adjective)

2. Cachorro –Puppy
In Spanish, “cachorro” is a direct translation of “puppy”. As a result, the word is only used when referring to a puppy. In addition, you can use its small form “cachorrito” as a more affectionate way to talk about your dog.
Just like “Perro“, “cachorro” is used as a generic term for male puppies. However, if you want to talk about females, you need to use “cachorra” or “cachorrita“. Here are some examples.

3. Firulais –Dog
In Mexico, Firulais is an informal and fun word that people often use to say the word “dog”. Although the word is more commonly used to refer to a stray or street dogs, Mexican speakers still use it as a fun and cute way to refer to their dogs.
Firulais was (and still is) a popular name for a dog, and it became so common that people used it as a generic and casual way to say “dog” in Mexican Spanish. In addition, it can be used to call a dog whose name is unknown.
Because it is a name, the word may not always translate directly. In some cases, it is simply translated as “dog”.

4. Chucho –Cur / Dog
The word “Chucho” is a common and informal word that means “dog” in Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America. Usually, the term is used to refer to stray dogs, but pet owners can also use it with their own dogs if they are upset with them or if it is just a fun way to refer to them.
As a result, depending on the context, Chucho and its feminine form “chucha” may not be very dog-friendly words. In addition, since the word is used to talk about stray dogs, “chucho” could be translated as.
- Cur
- Mongrel
- Mutt
- Dog
- Pooch

Because it is not difficult to pronounce, el guau guau is a popular noun among small Spanish speakers who cannot say “perro” and its parents.
This term is very well known in all Spanish-speaking countries because more than one child in our family has problems pronouncing it. Although “guau guau” is a direct translation of “woof-woof”, in this case, “el guau guau” means “dog”.
8. Peludo / Peludito –Hairy / Furry
Nowadays, peludo or peludito has become a common term for dog lovers, a Spanish way of saying “dog” in an affectionate, casual and cute way.

Unlike the other words in the list, peludo and peludito are words that can be used to refer to both male and female dogs. Keep in mind that these terms are usually used in very casual conversations.
In addition, these words are direct translations of “hairy” and “furry”, but in this case they can also be translated as “dog” or “dogs”.
