To say Barbie is popular right now would be the understatement of the year. With the film out and pink clothes and merch everywhere, it’s a global phenomenon. And with the movie, more and more people are learning about her world. Or re-learning what they knew as a kid. But what about Barbie’s pets? Did she ever have any?

Barbie’s had as many pets as she’s had jobs. She has had over 40 different pets over the years, including dogs, cats, pandas, horses, lions, and zebras. With the number of different dolls, there have been, this isn’t too much of a surprise.

There is even a doggy daycare Barbie and a dog trainer Barbie who cares for a group of dogs. And of course, she has been a veterinarian a couple of times over the years.

And that’s just the world of the dolls. The character has had a ton of pets in the movies and web series over the years, including multiple dogs and cats. In Barbie: Life in a Dreamhouse and Barbie & Her Sisters in The Great Puppy Adventure, she has a dog named Taffy that lives with her and her sisters Skipper, Chelsea, and Stacie. She also had a cat named Blissa, and a horse named Tawny in the show as well.

She also had a horse named Majesty and a French poodle named Sequin in the movie, Barbie: A Fashion Fairytale.

But she’s not the only one in that world with pets. Her sisters and friends have also had different pets over the years. It’s clear that Barbie’s world is very pet-friendly! Everyone has at least one pet. Ken even has a dog named Hudson. And Hudson is of course in love with Taffy.

Did your Barbie ever have a pet? I think a few of mine had a dog or two (though, they may have been in the form of Beanie Babies!). Although, I don’t think mine were great dog moms. They were more interested in kicking butt and flying (I didn’t have the car).
