Villains
- Catastrophe (voiced by Jim Cummings): The arch-nemesis of the Spy Dogs organization who serves as the primary antagonist of the series. A cat with mechanical tail, which he wore because his natural one was bitten off by a dog or lost in an accident in a rocking chair testing facility. He tried to take over the world with an army of mummy cats and Bastet. His metal tail suggests he is a parody of Dr. No, while he is sometimes seen stroking a mouse similar to Ernst Stavro Blofeld's white cat.

- Baron Bone (voiced by Clancy Brown): A human who attempted to corner the market in beef by luring all the cows in the world with a giant ball of cud.
- Colosatron: A computer that wanted to take over the world. Its name and goal are taken from the film Colossus: The Forbin Project.

- Ernst Stavro Blowfish (voiced by Ben Stein): He took control of all the fast food restaurants in the world just because he thinks he is evil. Named after Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
- Mistress Pavlov (voiced by Wendie Malick): She tried to use her hypnotic powers to have the owners of dogs do her bidding. A joke on the Pavlov's Dog psychology experiment.
- Oatz Couture (voiced by Ami Dolenz): She created clothes for dogs that were provoking diseases.
- Porkzilla: He is not really evil. After he drank special potion to grow bigger, he became huge and went to the city to eat, a spoof of Godzilla.
- Space Slugs (voiced by Maurice LaMarche and Billy West): They tried to bury the would in slime to recreate their home world which was destroyed. Also tried to mutate the children of the world into Space Slugs by tainting lunchroom food in schools.
- Spin Doctors: They put a spell on the TV watchers of the world to make them watch too much television.
