Dog Days Of Summer: The Secret Life Of Pets 2 Now Available For Home Viewing

**Warning: May Contain Spoilers**

From Universal Pictures & Illumination (Despicable Me), The Secret Life of Pets 2 is a lighthearted look at the pets in our lives, the deep bond between them, the families that love them and answers the question: What are your pets really doing when you’re not at home? It is now available on Digital and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand!

As with its predecessor, The Secret Life Of Pets 2 explores the emotional lives of a particular group of pets in New York. Terrier Max (freshly voiced by Patton Oswalt) is a self-proclaimed “city dog” coping with major life changes after Katie’s marriage and the arrival of her child, Liam. During a family trip upstate, Max and Duke (Eric Stonestreet) meet the logical farm-dog Rooster (Harrison Ford) and get in touch with their inner beast. Meanwhile, Gidget (Jenny Slate) tries to rescue Max’s favorite toy from a cat-packed apartment with a little help from her feline friend, Chloe (Lake Bell), who has discovered the joys of catnip. And Snowball (Kevin Hart) believes, despite the other pets’ teasing, that he truly is a superhero after his owner starts dressing him in superhero pajamas. But when Daisy (Tiffany Haddish), a fearless Shih Tzu, shows up to ask for Snowball’s help on a dangerous mission, he’ll have to summon the courage to become the hero he’s been pretending to be.

Watching movies with a toddler and a baby can sometimes be a difficult task. Since becoming a mother, you can probably count on one hand the number of movies I have seen all the way through in a single sitting. The Secret Life Of Pets is one of those movies. And so is The Secret Life Of Pets 2! TSLOP2 is all around brighter, lighter and has all the comedy for children with extra special feels for adults with young children of a certain almost school age. Cat people will be very impressed with Gidget’s ingenuity as she fights tooth and claw for the sake of Max (again). I literally guffawed during her reconnaissance mission! I just wish that Gidget’s girl paw-power was more in the forefront. She is, however, the star of the short film, Super Gidget, included in the home viewing release. And can we talk about the animation for a sec? Between various fur textures, water, foliage, cityscapes and countryside, the visuals are stunning and capture the essences and differences of the locations.
