Famous Celebrity Pets
We all have our favorite celebrities, but what about their canine companions, feline friends, or even aquatic acquaintances? Sometimes, a celebrity's pet has stolen the limelight and become an Internet sensation. Some—like Paris Hilton, have entire Instagram accounts dedicated to their pets.
Oscar Bieber
You can probably guess—Oscar belongs to Justin Bieber. The Canadian singer received Oscar, a blonde Yorkie, as a Christmas present in 2018 and he's been with the Bieber family ever since. Oscar Bieber's fame has helped raise awareness of animal adoption, a cause for which Justin campaigned for with PETA in 2011.
Meredith Grey Swift, Olivia Benson Swift, Benjamin Button Swift
That's right, Taylor Swift really named her cats after Grey's Anatomy's main character; Detective Olivia Benson from Law & Order; and the short story of Benjamin Button written by F Scott Fitzgerald. Meredith was adopted in 2014, then Olivia Benson and finally Benjamin was adopted on the set of Swift's 2019 "Me!" music video.
Swift's three feline friends are famous for being named after recognizable pop culture figures.
Ted Clarke
Now that she's done raising dragons, Emilia Clarke's latest pet is Ted, an adorable Dachshund. Adopted in 2020, Emilia doesn't have to worry about Ted setting anything on fire when he breathes. Ted is most famous for having a birthday cake baked for him by Emilia in 2021, a post on Instagram which received over 1.3 million likes.
Spencer Pratt's Hummingbirds
Perhaps most famous for being different, Spencer Pratt (antagonist of The Hills) has a collection of hummingbird friends that he (and his adorable family) feed daily, according to his Instagram. While we're not sure that hummingbirds can be domesticated, the unique nature of the Pratt family's relationship with them makes them famous pets in our eyes.

Foe Thee Frenchie
Another win for celebrity naming here, "Foe Thee Frenchie" is Megan Thee Stallion's French Bulldog. Foe (styled 4oe on IG), has over 530,000 Instagram followers and is famous for starring in a Megan's Snapchat show in 2020 called "Off The Leash With Megan Thee Stallion". Foe Thee Frenchie has also appeared on Jimmy Fallon.
Gustav and Koji Germanotta
Gustav and Koji Germanotta are Lady Gaga's pups. These two French Bulldogs were victims of dog-napping in 2021 after thieves broke into Lady Gaga's home and stole them. Gaga offered $500,000 for their return and they were swiftly reunited with her.
While Gustav and Koji were already famous by association, being the stars of an LAPD manhunt (or doghunt, as it were) made them all the more famous. Not many dogs can say that.
Steel & Silver Mahomes
Steel and Silver Mahomes are a Cane Corso and Pitbull duo owned by Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. Steel and Silver Mahomes are most famous for their game-day Instagram posts, cheering on Dad while wearing Chiefs jerseys/neck bandanas.
Winnie Gomez
Selena Gomez's Maltese-Poodle mix (Maltipoo), Winnie, is her most adorable accompaniment when she attends record label meetings. Having been in Selena's life since 2019, Winnie has been firmly in her corner and laying down the *paw* to record execs. She also added back-up in the form of Daisy Gomez, a Poodle, in 2020.
Bandit Pinkett-Smith
Jada Pinkett-Smith's dog, Bandit, a French Bulldog, first debuted in the Pinkett-Smith household in 2020 as a gift from Cesar Millan. I suppose he would already have been well-trained, then. Bandit's fame comes from Instagram posts showcasing him in matching outfits with Jada.
Noon Coleman
Zendaya's dog, Noon Coleman, a now eight-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, always steals the show. She even received a nomination in 2023 for the Kids' Choice Awards (hosted by Nickelodeon) for Favorite Celebrity Pet.

Diana Chopra Jonas
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas' dog, Diana, often steals the show from their two other furry friends: Gino and Panda. Being the senior of the three at 8 years old, Diana is often famous for her Instagram page showcasing her wearing the same necklace as Mom, eating birthday cakes, and generally living her best life.
Champ Wahlberg
Mark Wahlberg's adorable Pomeranian, Champ, has been in his life since 2018 and is now six years old. The Pomeranian keeps Mark on his toes—surprise, surprise, Champ has his own Instagram and is also famous for appearing in Wahlberg's reality show: "Wahl Street" (2021).
Leslie Mosler's Doug The Pug
Leslie Mosler may not be a name you'll recognize, but Doug The Pug should be. One of the first internet celebrities came to prominence in 2014 when his owner, Leslie, created the Instagram page: "Doug The Pug".
Now sitting at 3.6M followers, Doug The Pug has his own skincare/fur-care product called "Nonipup" and has met multiple celebs including Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, Shakira and Lewis Capaldi.

Martha Stewart's Peacocks
Not everyone can afford to own a peacock. But Martha Stewart has at least a dozen of these glorious birds at her farm in County, Massachusetts. The peacocks herald from India and Sri Lanka, but the entire species were banned in 2020 from the approved list of "emotional support animals", along with horses. Martha Stewart's peacocks, however, are famous for their uniqueness.
