four-footed
Walking on paws
Four-footed means having four feet, describing animals that walk on all fours: four-footed creatures of the forest.
The term is somewhat literary or old-fashioned; quadruped serves technical contexts, while everyday speech typically just names the animal.
The four-footed members of the household included two dogs and a cat.
