Actually, it seems they do: the reason that James, Sirius and Peter 
labored to become Animagi was to keep Lupin company: as he explains 
in PoA, Ch. 19:

 "They couldn't keep me company as humans, so they kept me company as 
animals," said Lupin. "A werewolf is only a danger to people. They 
sneaked out of the castle every month under James's Invisibility 
Cloak. They transformed... Peter, as the smallest, could slip beneath 
the Willow's attacking branches and touch the knot that freezes it. 
They would then slip down the tunnel and join me. Under their 
influence, I became less dangerous. My body was still wolfish, but my 
mind seemed to become less so while I was with them."
