I recently listened to the first Chet and Bernie mystery and enjoyed it. That reminds me that I need to seek out the next in the series.
I don't think Chet was anthropomorphized at all. He was a normal dog, in a realistic setting. His narration language was obviously human English, but it's not like we could read it in the original Dog or something.
At the risk of giving too much away, there is an amusing short story called "The Other Large Thing" in "Miniatures: The Very Short Fiction of John Scalzi" that might fit the bill as well. It's available to read for free here:

If you're not looking for animal POV in an otherwise real world, but rather animals in a hypothetical animal society, then sorry, my experience begins and ends with Watership Down and Redwall (which I see as Lord of the Rings with rodents.)
