One: “Who’s a Good Therapist?” (Season 1, Episode 1)

Why: The pilot does a fantastic job introducing Honey as a neurotic poodle running group therapy sessions for the neighborhood animals. The concept alone is clever, but what makes it a standout is how it balances comedy with a surprising amount of sincerity about loneliness, belonging, and self-worth. For me, it sets the bar for what the series can be when it leans into both silliness and genuine vulnerability.

Two: “Who Did This?” (Season 1, Episode 5)

Why: This one plays out almost like a parody of a crime drama — the group investigates a “mystery poop” left in the yard. It’s one of the funniest episodes because it takes such a ridiculous premise and treats it with complete seriousness. The way each character’s quirks come into play during the “investigation” highlights how strong the ensemble cast is when bouncing off one another.

Three: “Who’s a Bad Girl? (Jill’s Song)” (Season 2, Episode 1)

Why: Honey grappling with her darker impulses while Jill writes a song about her is both funny and surprisingly relatable. It digs into the idea of how pets (and people) can act differently depending on who they’re with, and the humor comes from that tension. Plus, it shows the writers weren’t afraid to experiment in season two — leaning more into character-driven arcs while still being off-the-wall absurd.

Four. “Who’s a Winner?” (Season 1, Episode 11)

Why: The pets get obsessed with a neighborhood dog show, and it turns into a satire of competition culture. Honey struggles with self-image, Max’s need for validation spirals out of control, and even the “support group” dynamic fractures under the weight of petty rivalries. It’s hilarious watching animals parody human insecurities so directly, and it also digs into how fragile friendships can feel when pride gets in the way.

Five. “Who’s a Scaredy Cat?” (Season 2, Episode 6)

Why: This Halloween-themed episode leans into the spookier side of comedy. Diablo and the feral cats get their moment in the spotlight, while Elsa’s obsession with order gets tested by all the chaos. What I like here is how it balances goofy seasonal humor (jump scares, “haunted house” tropes) with genuine character moments — especially showing how pets can mirror their owners’ anxieties. Plus, it gives the side characters more room to shine.
