The way this series approaches species other than ponies is... confused. Or confusing, at any rate. There are clearly different breeds of dog, some of which are highly evolved (like the Diamond Dogs) and some of which are on about the same level as our dogs here on Earth. Sheep and cows are slaves not slaves, but hopefully somewhere in between so they're not too sentient or independent, but are capable of speech. Ponies, griffons, dragons and diamond dogs at the top of the ladder, followed by animals capable of speech, followed by intelligent animals like those who jostled to become Rainbow's pet, followed by "normal" animals.
