Since you have no evidence that her fluffy menagerie is interfering with her work or the work of others, it's probably too early to ask her to disband the flock. However, if the herd is already interfering with her orientation, getting in the way of others, or creating a safety problem, you should discuss the matter with her.
In such as case, the best step is to give her the specifics about the problems that her pack is causing. You should not insult her or her furry pals.
At the same time, you may be overreacting to her collection. If there is no true work-related problem associated with the pack, then your best step is to let some time pass and then look at her sales numbers and her ability to access needed information.
If her pets are preventing her from reaching her potential and becoming a productive member of your team, she should be advised of the specific problems. It's a good thing for employees to make their offices comfortable and homey, but not when it's too much of a good thing.
