The Kardashian family pets: a history
We're here to talk about the Kardashian family and their many pets.
Any Keeping Up With the Kardashians junkie (proud or secret) may have noticed that the reality TV family have had a flurry of pets over the show's lifetime.
They're the unsung heroes of the show; narrative devices which provide a nice break from sibling squabbles or the continual Kardashian family holidays. Remember when Kim took in stray Chihuahua, Princess, (until she had to give her up)? Or when Bruce (now, Caitlyn) struggled with getting Khloé's dog, Rocky, neutered? Good timez...
Here we take a look back at the Kardashian pets; past and present...
Instagram/ kimkardashianHoney and ?
There are two new additions to the Kardashian family. The sister Pomeranians were gifted to North and Penelope by their parents, and of course, the fluff balls were already featured in Kim's Instagram feed and Kourt's Snapchat. While Penelope has named hers Honey, North's remain nameless - but worry not, mum Kim asked fans on social media to shout out some name ideas. If you didn't have a reason to keep up with the Kardashians, now you definitely do.
Splash NewsMew
For Christmas, Kendall Jenner was gifted an all-white Italian Greyhound by her younger sister Kylie - a massive fan of the breed. The puppy was spotted rocked a collar saying 'Mew' so we're assuming that's the name of Kendall's adorable friend. He makes a good shopping partner!
KendallJenner/InstagramHusky pup
Oh hello, cutie! Kylie Jenner added to her brood in December 2016 with this adorable husky puppy, name yet unknown. How gorgeous are those eyes...
Rex FeaturesRocky
Kim dated American football player Reggie Bush in 2010 and the pair got Boxer dog together, who they named Rocky. When the pair split, Kim gained custody, though handsome Rocky hasn't been seen for years.
Kendall Jenner/InstagramDolce
We're throwing it right back here: anyone remember Dolce? She was Kim's pet Chihuahua who was sadly killed by a coyote in 2012. RIP.
Kendall Jenner/InstagramJackson
In one episode of KUWTK, Kendall and Kylie rescued an Australian Shepherd mix, which they named Jackson. It's not known if the cute pup is still around - he hasn't featured on Instagram since 2012.
Kendall Jenner/InstagramSimba
Then there was Kendall's Pomeranian pup, Simba.
Kendall Jenner/InstagramAdam
Kylie briefly owned a little pup called Adam. Side note: we love pets with human names.
Kim Kardashian/InstagramLouis and Vuitton
Kylie and Kendall were given two pet chocolate labs for Christmas in 2011. Naturally, being the fashion-conscious ladies they are, they called them Louis and Vuitton. Do they name all of their pets after fashion houses?
Kim Kardashian/TwitterMercy
Fluff ball cat, Mercy, was first introduced to the Kardashian family when she was gifted to Kim by Kanye in 2012, but a few weeks later she was given to Khloe's assistant Sydney Hitchcock when Kim discovered she was allergic.
Sadly, poor little Mercy died a few weeks later from a virus.
Kendall Jenner/InstagramKendall's horse (one of)
Kendall Jenner is an avid horse rider, and has had a fair few riding buddies over the years. Her horse riding has taken a backseat lately due to modelling commitments.
Kendall Jenner/InstagramSnow White
Back in 2013, Kris Jenner adopted a micro pig which made regular appearances at fashionable events and was star guest at Kylie Jenner's sweet sixteen.
Kendall Jenner/InstagramBlu
Kendall Jenner's longest pet companion has to be Great Dane, Blu, who was gifted to her by brother, Rob, back in 2013.
Kendall Jenner/InstagramChloe
There was also sweet puppy Chloe who made a brief appearance on the Kardashian/Jenner's Instagram feeds.
Kim Kardashian/InstagramPeter Pan
It's not all dogs and cats in the Kardashian family pet list: meet Khloe's peacock Peter Pan. Khloe rescued the bird but left it behind when she moved from her Tarzana, California home. Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting is now the new proud owner!
Kourtney Kardash/InstagramCharli
Bengal cat Charli was another exceedingly expensive pet that was given to baby Mason by Kourtney and Scott. So what happened to him? "Kourt gave him up for adoption when Reign was born,” Kim explained in an interview.
Kylie Jenner/InstagramPenny
Kylie Jenner's most recent pet addition was a surprise early birthday gift. The cute pup is named Penny and regularly features on Kylie's Snapchat.
KylieJenner/InstagramKylie's other dogs
In addition to Penny, Kylie has three Italian Greyhounds - Bambi, Norman and Sophie - which are the apple of her eye. Kylie also recently added to her brood by adopting an adorable Dashchund puppy, which she named Odie.
