This is the type of clingy pet who is so attached to their owner that they won't let their new significant other, child, pet, or whoever else the plot demands get near them. They're not an Angry Guard Dog, but they do have an Undying Loyalty and protectiveness over their owner.
A character who is on the opposing side of the animal's disdain is unlikely to be hated by other animals. It's this one pet who dislikes them for trying to "steal" their owner's attention, or for supposedly trying to take advantage of them.
There is some Truth in Television to this. Some pets are known, even as a breed or species trait, to only get attached to a select few. Cats are especially prone to this; many cat owners have experienced their cat being extremely hostile to their romantic partners, to the point of attacking them. In addition, it's pretty common for some breeds of dogs to be hostile to their owners' newborn children, as they regard the tiny, pudgy human as an intruder in their territory. One of the leading causes of dog abandonment is the dog biting at a baby. This is why if a family or family-to-be is going to get a dog, it's important to research which breeds might get freaked out by small children and infants or ask if the dog is safe around small children.
Compare to Boyfriend-Blocking Dad, My Beloved Smother, My Sister Is Off-Limits, Infant Sibling Jealousy, and Friend Versus Lover.

So much so that he willingly lets Gantu take Mr. Stenchy away which causes Gantu to start adoring the little creature making 625 jealous.

In Lady and the Tramp, Lady begins to feel neglected when Jim Dear and Darling stop spending so much time with her. Jock and Trusty explain to her that Darling is expecting a new baby. Tramp overhears and tells Lady that once a baby is born, the humans will give more attention to it than to their dog, even going as far as to mistreat the dog by giving it leftover baby food instead of juicy beef, and a leaky doghouse instead of a cozy bed by the fire. When Jim Dear and Darling's new baby is born, Lady becomes both fond and very protective of him.

The Disney animated short Feast features a dog who does not take kindly to his owner's new gal pal, primarily because she takes him off table scraps and puts him on normal dog food. He's actually ecstatic at first when a fight causes the two humans to break up and his master dives into junk food to heal his broken heart, but the pup soon realizes how miserable his master is without his girlfriend. Leads to a heartwarming moment when the dog engineers the two meeting again and patching things up, giving up the food he loves to make two people happy... at least until their baby is born, who is more than happy to bring back the feast of scraps.

The Bolt Chronicles: Played with in "The Cakes," "The Walk," "The Cameo," and "The Ship." Bolt (and in one instance Mittens and Rhino) is portrayed as disapproving of Penny's love interests, but for good reason. The dog only wants his master to have the best, and Penny normally chooses unwisely. Moreover, Bolt goes no further than registering basic disapproval, usually via dirty looks and grumbling.

DC League of Super-Pets: Krypto the dog has been with Superman since both were babies, and Superman is his only friend. When he realizes Superman is very serious about Lois and needs Krypto to give them some space, he gets very jealous, imagining in a montage that Lois will take his place. The plot of the film is kicked off by Krypto not hearing that Superman is in trouble because he's too busy binging and listening to music.

Discussed in Inubaka when Yamarin considers getting a new dog to keep her current one company, as her work has been getting busy. Teppei advises her against this because it would make her current dog jealous instead of happy. They did a test run with a stuffed animal, and sure enough, Lucky did not like seeing Yamarin cooing over the new "pet", and starts to act up (i.e. pooping and peeing all over the place) to get her attention back.

Garfield's jealousy of Odie is what kickstarts a majority of the events of the live-action Garfield movie. After getting punished for accidentally knocking over a majority of things in Jon's house, Garfield sings about the time he used to spend together with Jon, then locks Odie out. Odie runs away, leading him to be found by Happy Chapman, a greedy TV host looking to bank in on the popularity Odie achieved from a dog show the previous day. When Garfield finds out, he sets out to rescue Odie.
