Ruff Week? These Adorable Disney Pets Will Cheer You Up!

We all need a shot of serotonin once in a while! As the rigorous toil of marching through our schedules can quickly leave us feeling water-logged or drained, sometimes a quick pick-me-up is just what the doctor ordered! Well, today, I’m prescribing you an easy-to-digest article dedicated solely and entirely to Disney pets! If you’re having a rough day or just love fur babies, this article will hopefully reinvigorate that sense of “awe” and provide the cuteness overload we all probably need.

In writing this article, one thing we hope will be helpful for those of you with new family additions is to find a Disney name for your four-legged sweethearts. Plenty of articles have extensive lists of Disney-related names for pets; we’d be doing you a disservice not to include a few of our favorites! So, grab a snack, prop up your feet, and enjoy these adorable Disney fur babies!

Now that we've seen a vet, we have officially welcomed this good boy to the family. We named him Barley after the Onward character since Disney pet names is tradition 💚 pic.twitter.com/riO2WVDCcU

This is Walt, named after Walt Disney! All our pets have full names, and his is Walter Elias-Disney Wegner (our last name)
1. Walt (sorry it’s technically a nickname) 2. Walty 3. It’s not a nickname but we do call him Walter sometimes, and that’s all because hes not the brightest pic.twitter.com/Du7pKWNKDl

Meet Tinka and Baloo

My second dog is called Tinka – we renamed her because her foster family called her Izzy and we didn’t think it suited her. I came up with it because after having one dog with a name of a Disney character I wanted pet names to be themed, it was a compromise from tinkabelle pic.twitter.com/rXMMkLn4ga

Meet Goose

Today my reading time was majorly impacted by Daisy's new baby who loves to play as well as snuggle. We have a habit of choosing Disney names for our pets and in my case our daughter too 🙈 Daisy Duck let her love of Marvel help with his name choice and she named him Goose 😻 pic.twitter.com/3R87qm58HW
