Life may be full of complications and uncertainty, but one thing we can all agree on is that our pets make everything better, especially when hamming it up for the camera.
So, in the spirit of public service during these uncertain times, we conducted an unofficial internal poll to round up this list of some of the cutest and most awwwww-inspiring pets on Instagram you should probably be following right now.
The next time you need a break from the headlines, toggle over to see what one of these adorable, lovable, and hilarious creatures—from cats and dogs to sugar gliders, alpacas, and foxes—are up to. We guarantee it’ll be way better than your news feed.
The Instagram Pet Accounts We All Desperately Need Right Now
@chewlialouisdreyfus
Meet Chewy! As her owners point out, this quirky pup looks like a cross between a dog, sloth, and owl. In other words: Adorable!

Is these dogs could talk—well, Stella kinda can! Speech-language pathologist, Christina Hunger, posts fascinating videos teaching her Catahoula/Blue Heeler mix how to communicate. Mind blown!
@yaboi_toby_toad
Clearly, we’re still obsessed with The Wind in the Willows—and maybe it’s all the super itty bitty tiny toad-sized things, too.
