There’s a good reason for this...

When they’re out with said dog, they don’t wish for members of the public to constantly be calling out ‘Hey, Rover! (or whatever). Even a placid or well-trained canine might get rowdy and unmanageable.

As of 17 months ago, the Queen still had two dorgis-Vulcan and Candy. 
I don't need to know pets and names, but it is a nice tidbit of information that makes them more personable.

The Queen has a couple dorgis named Vulcan and Candy, at least as of 17 months ago. 
I don't need to know what the pets' names are but knowing about their pets and even sometimes knowing their names, makes the people more personable.

 To HM it was Corgies and Camilla it is Jack Russels and, if I'm not wrong, rescue dogs. It looks like she's converted Charles as well.
I'm not sure whether Charles has any hunting dogs left.

Isn't it supposedly because cats will sharpen their claws and damage priceless and irreplaceable royal tapestries, furniture and the like - not to mention their habit of jumping high up on things which could cause breakages of china etc.
