2dog..........87.63................pig..............6.75
3rat.............7.55.................rat............78.98

First, a posting tip:

Before posting any more data in this forum, please click on the blue line at the end of this post and read the instructions on how to post data. Thanks.

As for your task, try this code:

Sub AnimalCrackers()
'Find last Row with data in Column A
  lastRw = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'Compare Column A to Column C in reverse order
    For nxtRw = lastRw To 1 Step -1
'If Column C is not empty and doesn't match Column A
'Insert a Row and move data in C and D down to new Row
      If Range("C" & nxtRw) <> "" Then
        If Range("A" & nxtRw) <> Range("C" & nxtRw) Then
          Range("A" & nxtRw + 1).EntireRow.Insert shift:=xlDown
          Range("C" & nxtRw & ":D" & nxtRw).Cut _
            Destination:=Range("C" & nxtRw + 1)
        End If
      End If
    Next
End Sub
