The singer is currently expecting her first children with husband Nick Cannon but is so worried about the psychological impact their birth will have on the couple`s four Jack Russell terriers - JJ, Cha-Cha, Dolomite and Jackie Lambchops - she has taken them to a pet psychologist.
An expert on Jack Russells said they "can be jealous and possessive about their owners".
Mariah, 41, has previously revealed her pooches lead a pampered life and even had their own entourage when they once took part in a video shoot with her.
She said: "I had my team with me but the pups had a mini entourage of their own, of course! And why wouldn`t they? It was a big shoot and even my entourage had an entourage - my stylist had an assistant, my security had extra security."
On their first wedding anniversary in April 2009, Nick presented to Mariah - who already had the dog JJ - her second pooch, a baby Jack Russell terrier they named Cha-Cha, who later gave birth to puppy Dolomite.
Jackie Lambchops, the latest addition to their canine family was born in June last year.
