The 15 best animal accounts on Instagram

Many people think that Instagram is a social network only for showing pictures of food, landscapes and feet on the beach, but really, Instagram is the social network for animals.

It is the perfect place to post everything that happens to your pet and keep their daily lives from infancy to old age in one place.

Here I offer a selection of the best Instagram pet accounts, accounts of real influencers, some reaching up to 1.3m followers.

Thiswildidea

This tells the story of Theron Humphrey, a photographer from North Carolina, who after the death of his grandfather, decided to travel the 50 US states and photograph one person every day for 365 days. What better travel companion and muse than his dog, Maddie, a coonhound he adopted. It served its purpose and in the end he decided to continue with a new project, Why we rescue, to raise awareness about the importance of dog adoption. We are in love with his story.

This adorable pomeranian has learned to walk on two legs, and has even won the Guiness record twice for being the fastest dog on both its hind legs and its front. He has appeared on numerous television shows and has a harvest of 2.1 million followers.

Camping with dogs

This account in particular I really like because it has pictures of dogs in nature. There is one thing a dog likes more than a ball, a toy, or food... and that's you spend your spare time with him in the field. You can find images of dogs with their owners camping, hiking, kayaking, fishing or even by bicycle.

Venus is a cat with a bi-color face. This peculiarity and also the fact that she loves to pose makes everyone want to be her follower and enjoy all her pictures and videos.

Wilfred's fame started with a short video that went viral on the Internet. It is a Persian Chinchila of a rather unusual appearance. His long teeth and bulging eyes have already won the hearts of over a million followers.

Pumpkin the Racoon

Pumpkin is a rescued raccoon who lives in the Bahamas and thinks that he's a dog. His owner found him abandoned, sick and with a broken leg, so she decided to adopt him. He is now, without a doubt, Instagram's most famous raccoon and has almost 1.5 million followers.
