The Secret Life of Pets 2 explores the emotional lives of our pets, the deep bond between them and the families that love them; and answers the question that has long intrigued every pet owner … What are your pets really doing when you’re not home?

Terrier Max is coping with some major life changes. His owner is now married and has a toddler, Liam.

Max is so worried about protecting the boy that he develops a nervous tic.

On a family trip to a farm Max and mutt Duke encounter canine-intolerant cows, hostile foxes and a terrifying turkey, all of which only elevates Max’s anxiety. Luckily Max gets some guidance from veteran farm dog Rooster, who pushes Max to ditch his neuroses, find his inner alpha, and give Liam a little more freedom.

Meanwhile, while her owner is away, plucky Pomeranian Gidget tries to rescue Max’s favourite toy from a cat-packed apartment with a little help from her feline friend Chloe, who has discovered the joys of catnip.

Crazy–but-cute bunny Snowball gets delusions of grandeur that he’s an actual superhero after his owner Molly starts dressing him in superhero pyjamas.

But when Daisy, a fearless Shih Tzu, shows up to ask for Snowballs help on a dangerous mission, he’ll have to summon the courage to become the hero he’s only been pretending to be.

Can Max, Snowball, Gidget and the rest of the gang find the inner courage to face their biggest fears?
