The Secret Life of Pets 2 Is Now Available on Blu-Ray, DVD & Digital

I was provided me with a complimentary copy of the DVD mentioned here, however, the expressed opinions I share are my own.

Let’s be honest here, have you ever wonder what your pet does while you are not home?! 🙂 Now you can learn what they do, well at least from the perspective from the animators at Illumination studios. In The Secret Life of Pets 2, the sequel to 2016’s The Secret Life of Pets, we follow Terrier Max (Patton Oswalt) coping with major life changes after Katie’s marriage and the arrival of a toddler, Liam.

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’s 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.

This past weekend, the family and I had the opportunity to watch the film, since we weren’t able to catch it when it was in theaters earlier this year. Of course, the family and I loved the film and we already loaded it into our movies anywhere account so that we can watch it while we are on the road. I love that that this release includes over 75 minutes of bonus content, that will surely keep the kiddos entertained. Keep reading to see a list of all the bonus content, as well, as some fun The Secret Life of Pets 2 activities.
