It's a good idea for the sake of your privacy to remove the metadata from the picture. While for a picture of a pet it is less important, it's still a good idea to get in the habit of nixing the metadata. Don't make it easier for you to be tracked and profiled.

What? That would likely give away the location of your home.

Why would it be less important for pet pics though? I think it would be more important because you probably take those pics at home and your home location might get leaked.

Agreed - even if it's doggo... It has data on it
