Pets and other domestic animals in Spanish

Animals are a universal topic of conversation, thanks mainly to our pets. That’s why studying their names in Spanish is considered one of the most basic Spanish lessons , together with the days of the week and saying hello . Besides, the animals and the sounds they make are also one of the first things we learn as children. It only makes sense to follow the same “recipe” when learning a new language as adults.

Here are the most popular farm animals and pets and their names in Spanish:

• el pájaro – the bird
• el toro – the bull
• el gato – the cat
• el pollo – the chicken
• la vaca – the cow
• el perro – the dog
• el burro – the donkey
• el pato – the duck
• el pez – the fish
• la cabra – the goat
• la gallina – the hen
• el caballo – the horse
• el cerdo – the pig
• el cachorro – the puppy
• el conejo – the rabbit
• el gallo – the rooster
• la oveja – the sheep
• la tortuga – the turtle

Known as_las mascotas_ in Spanish, the pets (together with the farm animals) make up most of the basic Spanish vocabulary about animals. Considering that they live in our homes or yards, it’s more likely to mention them during a conversation in Spanish rather than a zebra or a lion.

Grammatical gender in Spanish

If you are wondering what’s the correct grammatical gender for all these animals, let’s look at a short explanation.

As a general rule, nouns ending in -o in Spanish are masculine. On the other hand, nouns ending in -a are feminine. However, most animals in Spanish have both a male and a female form. But not all of them. For example, ‘the cat’ can be_el gato_ (masculine) or_la gata_ (feminine), but_el hámster_ will always be masculine.
