Messages for parents revolve around Max's anxiety about keeping his owner's toddler safe his helicopter ways are questioned by a dog named Rooster ( Harrison Ford), who's more of a let-them-get-hurt-and-learn kind of canine.

And there's a scene in which a cat is high on catnip. Language includes 'pissed,' put-downs ('jerk,' 'idiot,' 'stupid,' etc.), and potty humor ('turd'). Animals punch and throw knives at one another, and a bad guy is hit by a car, but no one is ever really injured. The dark humor and peril are toned down from the original, with more of a shift to slapstick violence that's meant to be funny. A subplot has Snowball ( Kevin Hart) and new dog Daisy ( Tiffany Haddish) working together to rescue an abused tiger from a Russian circus that has menacing wolves and a cartoonishly villainous lion tamer. It continues the story of Max (now voiced by Patton Oswalt) as his owner gets married and has a baby. Parents need to know that The Secret Life of Pets 2 is the sequel to the 2016 animated comedy about what pets do when their humans aren't home.
