Almost every dog or cat I've shared the cabin with has been better behaved than almost every small child I've shared the cabin with, FWIW. You don't see folks calling to ban noisy children from planes.
Kids often act like animals, but they are humans. Fido and Kitty might be more lovable than children, but they are animals, no matter how well behaved they are.
If Fido and Kitty have to be in the cabin, they belong in a kennel for the entire flight. They shouldn't be using lavatories intended for passengers and crew.
