A-list Instagram: Pets

Ever seen someone’s pet on Instagram and thought that it was having a better life than you? Whether it’s hanging out of designer handbags or flashy convertibles, even pulling off a diamond-studded collar with ease, this is the high life and it’s only reserved for a select few – and their pampered pets.

Instagram: a place for people to show off all the amazingly fun and exciting things in their life – and a place for the rest of us to gawk at the things we don’t have, like million-dollar mansions or six-packs. We all continue to torture and entertain ourselves with endless scrawling through filtered, carefully set up poolside hotdog-leg snaps and exclusive backstage premier pass selfies, the whole time comparing our own less-than-entertaining, sofa-dwelling, pizza-eating lives, so it could be more than painful when scrolling though your Instagram feed to come across super rich pooches out there getting a better deal than the rest of us, sunning themselves in the Bahamas one minute and skiing in Switzerland the next… Or is it purely an entertaining glimpse into the bizarre and vacuous world of the super rich?

Here is a round up of some of the best A-list pets of Instagram just so you can make your own mind up.

Katy Perry’s dog Butters

So you get to hang out backstage with the actual Katy Perry, as well as sleep in her bed and get dressed up in her outfits. Big deal.

Lady Gaga’s dog Asia

Asia has what every dog wants – a couture dress to have a nap on.

The Obama family’s dog Bo 

Most dogs just have a back garden to run around in, this dog gets the actual White House’s lawn.

Kylie Jenner’s dog Normie

The silkiest dog in the world is living with one of the most famous families in the world and he probably doesn’t even know it. In fact, in this picture he’s curled up behind Kim. Check out his own Instagram.

Taylor Swift’s cat Olivia 

Chillin’ on Swifty’s lap on a private jet as she flies all over the globe. S’all good. 

John Legend and Chrissy Teigan’s dog Pippa 

This pooch rides around in chauffeur-driven cars with a pop star and his model wife and gets plenty of snuggles too. 

Miley Cyrus’ pig, um, Pig (fka Bubba Sue) 

You’re a pig and instead of getting made into bacon you get to go to fun festivals with Miley Cyrus. This pig is living the dream.

Cara Delevingne’s rabbit Cecil Delevingne 

Cecil has his own Cara Delevingne Mulberry handbag to chill in. Follow him on Instagram.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s dogs Dolly and Peggy 

Styling out designer frames and soaking up some rays is just one of the things these two cuties get up to with their supermodel owner.

Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette 

The ultimate in luxury pet living. From the cover of Vogue to having her own actual fashion line, this kitty has it all and, naturally, her own Instagram.
