💡 Insight Hub #18 | What Are Children’s Favorite Animals?

Hey everyone! :wave: Happy Monday!

Today, let’s do a different kind of poll. We all know kids can be very passionate about animals, so we’re running a quick community poll to learn more about animal preferences of children aged 3–13 :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Based on your understanding of your child’s real favorites (or the kids around you), please vote for the one animal they like the most from the options below. Your answers will help us better understand what kids truly love.

:ballot_box: Poll Time!

Which animal does your child (or the kids around you) love most?

  • Dog :dog:
  • Cat :cat:
  • Rabbit :rabbit:
  • Bear :bear:
  • Fox :fox_face:
  • Other (please specify in the comment)
0 voters

:speech_balloon: Let’s share!

If you’re comfortable sharing, feel free to share in the comments, like your child’s age+ their favorite animal (or breed, like Golden Retriever or Border Collie), or an animal IP / photo they love.

:gift: Reward

We’ll randomly pick 3 participants from the comments to receive 20 Community Cheers each as a thank-you for joining!

Thanks for sharing! Every insight counts, every idea builds the future. :dizzy:

My son 9 prefers cats because when he was around 4 or 5 years old, he got slightly bitten by our dog that recently gave birth. :disappointed_relieved: Thankfully it was not that deep since it was like a warning bite but he got traumatized by that experience. He’s adjusting gradually to liking dogs but still prefers cats. His brother who is 5 also likes cats because he copies his brother :sweat_smile:

My granddaughter loves giraffes so I fit in the Other category.

My kids love squirrels. They like to play around with them, as the squirrels hide behind the trees, and they chase them around the trunk of it, playing hide and seek. They don’t care too much for cats, as they like to chase them out of the yard and up trees. My kids also love dogs, as they’re 14 year old dogs, themselves. :grin::dog::+1::chipmunk::heart:

I don’t have kids yet but my niece (8) and my nephew (10) both love dogs. My niece had 4 shitzu’s and my nephew has a dog (don’t know the breed) and we have 2 frenchies that they both love. Here’s a photo of my niece with our frenchie (both asleep in the car) while holding hands. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

My kids love dogs and cats! We have only our two cats because we aren’t allowed to have a dog currently in our rental, but once we do get moved into our cabin/house after it’s renovated hopefully next year, we will get them their new pup to grow with!

My girls loved our Border Collie most and for my son it was our German Shepherd/Husky Mix. He looked like a white wolf. My granddaughter hasn’t been around many dogs but loves ducks/geese.

I have grandchildren now ages 3, 11, 14 and 15. That all seem to like dogs. This could be because we don’t have any other animals to compare. :woman_shrugging:t4:.

I’m raising my granddaughter and she loves ALL animals but her favorite is cats. She has a grey domestic short hair right now that follows her around like a dog :joy:. Him and his sister showed up at our house 4 years ago and we took them in.

We have had so many different types of animals as pets. Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Lizards, Snakes. I am totally a dog person but out of all the pets we have had my kids gravitated towards the cats more than any other. When we moved interstate and had to stay in a hotel, they all missed the cats the most. :heart_eyes_cat:

My shadow, he follows me everywhere

I think kids like cats nowadays, or maybe I just love cats. Haha! But I do believe cats are such wonderful pets.
