Effective October 2021, Domestic Relations Law 236, Part B(5)(d) sub-paragraph 15:
"(15) in awarding the possession of a companion animal, the court shall consider the best interest of such animal. "Companion animal", as used in this subparagraph, shall have the same meaning as in subdivision five of section three hundred fifty of the agriculture and markets law."
And that definition is as follows:
"5. “Companion animal” or “pet” means any dog or cat and shall also mean any other domesticated animal normally maintained in or near the household of the owner or person who cares for such other domesticated animal. “Pet” or “companion animal” shall not include a “farm animal” as defined in this section."
