Cat videos might be the unchallenged rulers of the Internet, but cute doggos aren’t far behind. Those big brown eyes, perfectly boop-able snoots, and floppy ears are flooding social feeds—and we couldn’t be happier about it. The trend of having an “Instagram pet” started small, but now the idea of Insta-famous fluffballs has really taken off. There are thousands of dog Instagram accounts out there. Most of them consist of cute pics for friends and family, but there are also more than a few social savvy pets that have earned the right to call themselves “Instagram famous.” These social media famous dogs are gathering followers, earning sponsorships, and spreading joy all around. There are adventure dogs, city dogs, dogs wearing cute outfits, and dogs doing food reviews—pretty much anything you can think of. Filling your Insta feed with these good boys and girls will give you a daily dose of fluff, fun, and inspiration.
Check out the best dog Instagram accounts out there.

The only thing cuter than a fluffy dog is a fluffy dog with an adorable blonde boy as his sidekick. Reagan Doodle is an Australian Labradoodle with 515k Instagram followers. He does everything with his human sibling who he endearingly refers to as “Little Buddy.” It’s hard to tell who’s cuter, and the pair do absolutely everything together.

- Tucker
https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDDkPshHVj/
Fluent in the language of good doggos, Tucker is a goofy Golden with 1.4 million Instagram followers. One of his favorite things to do is make food review videos where he taste tests everything in the kitchen. This pup has quite the refined pallet, and his reactions to “green booger swords” and “lil trees of doom” are hilarious. He loves helping his mom out around the house, and he has never met a squirrel he doesn’t want to bark at. You can scroll back and see throwback pics of Tucker as a “smol boi,” and it’s safe to say Instagram fame hasn’t gone to his head. He’s still the charmingly silly boy his original followers fell in love with.
