Does your __dog seem to always be down on his luck? Is he accident-prone, frequently under-the-weather or eating something he shouldn’t?

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day (and in the spirit of fun!), PetPlan Pet Insurance sorted through half a million claims records and found the names of dogs that visited the veterinarian most often. Here’s how some popular (but unlucky) pets placed:
