Step into the surprisingly vast and often heartwarming world of the Kardashian-Jenner family’s beloved pets. From dogs and cats to more exotic creatures like peacocks and lizards, this definitive guide chronicles every animal that has joined the famous clan over the years, showcasing their enduring love for their furry—and scaly—companions.
The Kardashian-Jenner family is renowned for many things, but their affection for animals often takes a heartwarming backseat to their other endeavors. Beyond the glitz and glamour, this famous family has welcomed a surprising array of pets into their homes, each becoming a cherished part of their lives. From loyal canine companions to curious cats, and even a peacock and several lizards, their “furry kingdom” is as diverse as their enterprises.
While some family members, like Kylie Jenner, are famously dedicated pet parents with a rotating cast of furry friends, others, such as Kim Kardashian, have admitted to not being the “biggest animal person,” despite their children’s growing desires for pets. This comprehensive guide delves into every known pet the Kardashian-Jenners have owned, charting their history, heartwarming moments, and even some heartbreaking goodbyes.
Kim Kardashian’s Companions: From Dobermans to Pomeranians
While Kim Kardashian might describe herself as not an “animal person” in the past, her family’s history with pets is rich and varied. Her late father, Robert Kardashian, started the family’s pet tradition with two Dobermans named Sarkis and Anoush, both given classic Armenian names. Kim herself has embraced pet ownership, particularly as her children, especially North West, have expressed a deep desire for animal companions.
Over the years, Kim has shared her life with several dogs:
- Harley: A black lab from the family’s early days.
- Bella: A Maltese who, according to Kim’s blog, eventually went to live with their pastor, Brad.
- Dolce: A Chihuahua, acquired at the same time as Gabbana, who tragically died after being killed by a coyote, as reported by Bustle.
- Rocky: A boxer that Kim shared with then-boyfriend Reggie Bush in 2010. Kim retained custody of Rocky after their split, as noted by Glamour UK.

Kim’s Cats and Pups for North West
In addition to dogs, Kim briefly had a teacup Persian kitten named Mercy, a gift from Kanye West in September 2012. Due to Kim’s allergies, Mercy was rehomed with Khloé’s assistant, Sydney Hitchcock, but sadly passed away three months later from a cancer-like virus, as reported by E! News. Kim expressed deep sadness over the loss, highlighting the unexpected bond she formed with the kitten.
More recently, Kim’s household expanded with Pomeranians, primarily for her daughter North:
- Sushi: A white Pomeranian given to North in June 2017, from the same litter as Kourtney’s dog Honey.
- Saké: A white Pomeranian girl added in September 2019.
- Soba (or Soy Sauce): A black Pomeranian boy also added in September 2019, with North suggesting the names to complement Sushi.
Khloé Kardashian’s Beloved Companions: From Gabbana to Grey Kitty
Khloé Kardashian has often been portrayed as a dedicated animal lover within the family, forming deep bonds with her pets. Her childhood dog, Gabbana, a black Labrador retriever, was a truly significant member of the family.
- Gabbana: Adopted around 2005 by Kris and Caitlyn Jenner, Khloé took custody of Gabbana after their split. Gabbana lived to be 14 years old, passing away in January 2018. Khloé shared a heartfelt tribute, calling her “my first child, my companion and my friend,” according to People.
- Bernard Hopkins (“Bee”): A boxer puppy gifted by then-husband Lamar Odom in March 2013. Bernard was later rehomed with a friend due to a “no-pet policy” at Rob Kardashian’s apartment, where Khloé temporarily resided after her breakup.
- Peter Pan (“Petey”): Perhaps the most unique pet, a peacock that wandered into Khloé’s backyard in 2011. Petey remained with the new owners, actress Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting, when Khloé sold her house, as Kim confirmed on her blog.
New Feline Friends for True Thompson
Khloé’s daughter, True Thompson, inherited her mother’s love for animals, particularly cats:
- Grey Kitty: A Russian Blue cat who joined the family in January 2022. True and Grey Kitty have shared many adorable moments, including matching Halloween costumes, showcasing their close bond.
- Baby Kitty: A new cat that True received for her 6th birthday in April 2024. Khloé, who never imagined having two cats, has stated that two is her “maximum for cats,” highlighting her growing affection for her daughters’ feline companions.
Kourtney Kardashian’s Ever-Evolving Menagerie
Kourtney Kardashian has shown a diverse interest in pets, evolving from a “bunny woman” to a multi-dog owner. Her journey with pets has seen animals come and go, each leaving a memorable paw print on her family.

- Honey: A Pomeranian gifted to her daughter, Penelope Disick, in June 2017. Honey came from the same litter as Kim’s dog, Sushi.
- Cubs: A golden retriever puppy that Kourtney surprised her children with for Christmas 2019. The family eventually settled on the name Cubs after asking fans for suggestions.

Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner: Matriarch and Patriarch’s Pets
Even the matriarch and patriarch of the family have welcomed pets into their lives.
Kris Jenner’s Bridgette
Kris Jenner adopted a standard poodle named Bridgette in January 2020. This adoption came after Ellen DeGeneres highlighted abandoned puppies from The Wagmore Pet Hotel & Spa. Bridgette hails from the same litter as Chrissy Teigen’s dog, Petey. Kris’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble, famously bonded with Bridgette, taking on most of the “dog duties,” which led to some humorous moments on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, as reported by People.
Caitlyn Jenner’s Bertha
Caitlyn Jenner introduced her Labrador Retriever, Bertha, to the world via Instagram in June 2017. Bertha, who was two months old at the time, quickly became a cherished walking companion for Caitlyn.

North West’s Exotic Menagerie
North West has proven to be quite the animal enthusiast, even convincing her mother, Kim, to embrace some unconventional pets:
- Blacktail: A hamster gifted by Khloé in May 2019. Kim was initially upset by the gift, and her concerns were amplified when Blacktail unexpectedly died shortly after, leaving North heartbroken, as captured on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
- Speed: A bearded dragon who joined the family in March 2021, initially a temporary babysitting arrangement that turned into permanent residency. Speed even has custom Skims Cozy outfits and a Lil Uzi jewel, a testament to North’s unique style, as reported by People.
- Cheese and Bean: Two more bearded dragons added to North’s reptile collection in December 2021, much to Kim’s dismay due to her dislike of lizards and their worms.
The Kardashian-Jenner family’s journey with pets reflects their dynamic lives, filled with love, laughter, and sometimes, unexpected challenges. Each animal, whether a fluffy puppy or a scaly dragon, adds another layer to the complex and endlessly fascinating world of this iconic family.
