“Animals are such agreeable friends – they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” – George Eliot

If you’re like me, you’re following multiple dogs on Instagram and a picture of a French Bulldog puppy is probably the best thing you’ll see on your feed all day (next to a hugging kitten).

You might also be like me, in that you can’t commit to taking care of a dog just yet in your life. In the meantime, I admire other people’s dogs on the internet and in NYC’s various dog parks.

Puppies aside, I’ve discovered that there are numerous other pets on Instagram that are intriguingly fun to follow. There’s an entire world out there of animals worth your “like” and attention.

So, if you’re in the need of an aimless distraction or occasional Insta-delight, look no further than this curated list of the most lovable and unique pets to follow. Cheers to all the pet moms and dads for picking these epic names.

Happy scrolling!
