Yes, bed bugs will feed on any warm blooded animal (e.g., cats, dogs, birds, bats, and rodents), but they prefer to feed on humans. If they feed on a pet, they typically feed on those areas with less fur or feathers. Bed bugs are unlikely to remain on the animal after feeding.
What do bed bug bites look like and do they carry disease? Bed bugs do not carry disease. They do suck blood from their host with piercing mouth parts but the bite is painless.
