Meaning & Story

Daytona is the name of the famous Daytona International Speedway in Florida, home to the Daytona 500. The city of Daytona Beach takes its name from Matthias Day, an early settler. As a pet name it evokes speed, excitement, and the open road.

Daytona is for the dog who lives at race pace. They wake up at full speed, they spend the day at full speed, and they sleep like someone who ran the Daytona 500 and won. There's a thrilling energy to Daytona — exhausting to keep up with, but exhilarating to witness. They make you feel like life is a race worth running.
