1. LouLou
@loulouminidaschund follows the adventures of LouLou, a gorgeous black Daschund from the Netherlands, and her friends. It doesn’t take much for her to crawl into your heart with all four of her tiny paws (and those of her pups). Just look at that face!
2. Chewbarka Demanda
@frizzychewbarka must be one of the greatest gifts to the Instagram community. Described by her mom as a ‘frizzy narcissist’ and by her dad as ‘cute, but rude’, Chewbarka is a Chihuahua x Yorkie who just wants to be petted and adored. Is that too much to ask? We didn’t think so, either.
3. Harry The Blue Staffy
Here to steal your heart is @harry_the_blue_staffy. Harry recently became an older stepbrother to Piper and now spends most of his days being played on, wrestled, or nibbled. Being the patient brother that he is, though, he takes it all in his stride. What a guy!

4. Juniper Fox
Aside from being the world’s most famous fox, @juniperfoxx is also the happiest. Follow her on Instagram to see more of her amazing smile and to meet her special siblings, including fellow foxes Fig and Elmwood, a possum named Mushroom, a snake named Scales, and a gassy chinchilla named Herbal.
5. Lily The Masked Frenchie
@lily_the_masked_frenchie may look more like a panda bear than a French Bulldog, but her sense of style is unmistakable. She loves leopard print, dressing up, and just generally looking fabulous.
6. Gatsby The Tuxedo Cat
@gatsbythetuxedo cat is a rather suave gentleman, who lives with his rescue family in Brooklyn, New York City. He believes you’re never fully dressed without a bowtie, and we can see why! Check out this dapper gent and his extensive bowtie collection. So stylish!

7. Suki Cat
If you love animals and incredible travel photos, this is the one to watch. @sukiicat has travelled to all sorts of amazing destinations, including Canada, the USA, Mexico, Czech Republic, and Italy. Follow her account to see where she’s at!
8. Doug The Pug
No reputable list of ‘Instaworthy’ pet accounts would be complete without @itsdougthepug. With 3.9 million Instagram followers, this People’s Choice Award Winner is not only a public figure in his own right, but he’s also the trendiest pug around. Check out his hilarious YouTube videos, where he reenacts all your favourite movies and TV shows.
9. Monk The Vampire Cat
@monkandbean chronicles the daily life of Monk and his best friend Bean, two black cats living in New York. What makes Monk so utterly gorgeous? Well, his vampire teeth, of course. Monk spends his time patrolling the local cemetery for trespassers, but when he’s not doing that, he loves soaking up the sunshine with Bean, getting scratches and cuddles from his mom, and just generally proving that black cats are all the luck you need.
We guarantee these delightful pet accounts are just what you need to keep you smiling through the tough times.
