furry friends

Cuddly household companions

Furry friends is an affectionate term for pets, especially cats and dogs.

The phrase appears frequently in veterinary marketing, animal shelter communications, and casual conversation among pet owners: Don't forget to include your furry friends in your moving plans.

The cuteness of the expression limits it to informal contexts.
