Cop, Cow, Dog to keep the alliteration, or Pig, Cow, Dog to have three animals.

Isn't alliteration when the same letter is used? So "cop cow canine" is alliterative because of the letter "C", while "Cop, Cow, Dog" just has repetitive beats/syllables.

You're right. Alliteration is repeating consonants. Repeating vowels is called assonance.

Assonance, I had never heard of this, so cool that there's a word for it! thank you for teaching me ๐Ÿ˜Š
