When it comes to pet influencers, most people are usually left astounded when they discover the eye-watering income of these animals.

Who knew a pet could earn tens of thousands of dollars with a single Instagram post?

Influencer marketing app Heepsy has compiled a list of the 10 highest-earning pet influencers based on their estimated earnings per post.

“Pet influencers have become powerful marketing tools, with some earning more per post than many human creators,” Tabi Vicuña, Heepsy founder said.

“Their appeal lies in their consistency, non-controversial image, and emotional connection with audiences. Brands see them as a low-risk, high-engagement option–especially when the pet has cross-platform reach or a recognisable owner behind the scenes.

“As competition grows, the most successful accounts are those that blend strong visual storytelling with a clear personality, regardless of species.”
