How to make your cat or dog dance with AI: 7 tools compared

By ReelMe team · Updated 2026-11-01

Short answer: The fastest way is a pet trend template: upload one photo of your pet and the AI animates it through a known viral clip. ReelMe does this for $3.99 per video with no account (OIIA cat, Three Kittens, Huh cat and more). Media.io, Vidu and Hailuo also have pet dance templates on credit plans. Kling, Dreamina and FlexClip can make any pet dance, but you write a prompt or supply a reference video.

There are two ways to make a pet dance with AI. With a template, the dance is already chosen and timed and you only add a photo of your cat or dog. With a prompt or motion tool, you describe the dance or upload a reference clip, which gives more control but takes longer to get right.

Disclosure: ReelMe is our product. Facts about the other tools come from their official pages, linked below.

Use a sharp, well-lit photo where your pet's whole body is visible and nothing covers the face. A side-on or sitting photo still works, but the AI has to invent more of the body.

Step by step with a pet template

Upload one clear photo of your pet (one per pet if the clip has several animals).
Pay $3.99 once. No app, no sign-up.
Download the video in about a minute and post it to TikTok, Reels or Shorts.

How we compared

We are the team behind ReelMe, so read this list knowing that. To keep it checkable, every claim about another tool comes from that tool's own website, pricing page or App Store listing, read on November 1, 2026. Each source is linked at the bottom of the page.

Prices are list prices as shown that day. Most of these tools run frequent discounts and show annual plans as a monthly figure, so the price you see may differ. We did not score output quality, because it depends heavily on the photo and the clip; try two or three tools with the same photo before paying for a plan.
