Domestic animals (4)

I believe the answer is:

pets

'domestic animals' is the definition.
(animals in the home)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pets that I've seen before include "Domestic animals" , "Animals at home" , "Little darlings - step on them" , "Domesticated animals" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Independent and The Mirror.
