While she is at work during the day, he hangs out with other pets in the building : tabby cat Chloe, pug Mel, dachshund Buddy, and budgerigar Sweet Pea. One day, Katie adopts Duke, a large mongrel from the pound, leaving Max jealous because of her divided focus on Duke. Enraged by Max 's attitude towards him, Duke tries to abandon Max in an alley, but they are both attacked by cats led by Sphynx cat Ozone who removes both dogs ' collars and leaves them to be caught by Animal Control. Duke fears that he will be killed if he goes back to the pound. When Gidget, a white Pomeranian who is ( not so ) secretly in love with Max, discovers that he is missing, she decides to find him. Max and Duke are rescued by a white rabbit named Snowball, the leader of `` The Flushed Pets '' -- a gang of sewer - dwelling animals who hate humans because their owners mistreated them. After Max and Duke pretend to despise humans as much as they do by saying they killed their owners, the Flushed Pets invite them to join. Before they can prove their loyalty, by allowing a one - fanged viper to bite them, Snowball learns from the cats that Max and Duke are domesticated. The two dogs escape the sewers and board a ferry to Brooklyn, inadvertently killing the viper in the process. Snowball vows to kill them and leads the Flushed Pets after them. Meanwhile, Gidget recruits a red - tailed hawk named Tiberius to find Max, but he mistakenly returns carrying Ozone, whom Gidget coerces into telling what he knows about the dogs. They then enlist Mel, Buddy, Chloe, guinea pig Norman and Sweet Pea. On the way, they meet Pops, an old Basset Hound, who helps Gidget and the pets find Max. Meanwhile, Max and Duke raid a sausage factory for food. Then, Gidget and her team encounter Snowball, who vows to kill them as well, and Norman is captured as the rest of Gidget 's team flees. In the meantime, Duke tells Max about his previous owner, Fred, an elderly man who adopted him as a puppy and loved spending time with him. One day, Duke got lost while chasing a butterfly and was caught by Animal Control, but Fred never came to claim him. Max convinces him to visit Fred 's house in a nearby neighborhood, confident Fred will still love him and take him back. When they arrive at Fred 's house, they learn from the resident cat Reginald that Fred has died. Heartbroken, Duke accuses Max of attempting to get rid of him and barks at the new homeowners who have just returned to the house and called Animal Control. The handlers catch Max, but Duke interferes long enough for Max to escape and ends up being captured instead. While trying to rescue Duke as he follows the Animal Control van, Max is attacked by Snowball who tries to kill him. However, when his gang is captured, Snowball realizes that he and Max must work together to rescue them. They drive a city bus into the van on the Brooklyn Bridge, stopping traffic. The Flushed Pets encircle Max, unaware of his partnership with Snowball, but Gidget and her team save him. Gidget uses her kung - fu fighting skills, and Max starts to fall in love with her. The van gets stuck in scaffolding and the Flushed Pets escape. As soon as Max gets the keys to Duke 's cage, the van plummets into the East River with him inside. Max is unable to free Duke, so Snowball jumps into the river to retrieve the keys, allowing them to escape the sinking van. Once out of the river, Snowball realizes how good being heroic he feels. The entire group returns to the apartment block by pig - driven taxi. Max expresses his love for Gidget, who returns his affection. Snowball and the Flushed Pets then come up with a new plan to annihilate all humans, but a little girl named Molly arrives and adopts Snowball and the remaining Flushed Pets return to the sewers. At first, Snowball resists, but gives in and lets himself become a domesticated pet. The other pets return to their homes and embrace their owners, and Max and Duke finally reunite with Katie, sparking a true friendship. Buddy and Mel show up in costume at a party in poodle Leonard 's apartment. Leonard 's owner returns and Tattoo crashes to the floor on the chandelier. Cast Louis C.K. as Max, a Jack Russell Terrier.

Reception Box Office The Secret Life of Pets grossed $368.4 million in Canada and the U.S., and $507.1 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $875.5 million, against a production budget of $75 million. Its international takings helped push Universal Pictures ( International ) past $1 billion for the tenth consecutive year, and aided Illumination Entertainment to pass the $4 billion mark for the first time since 2010. It is the fifth highest - grossing original worldwide film of all time ( behind Avatar, Zootopia, The Lion King, and Finding Nemo ), the sixth highest - grossing film of 2016, the 12th highest - grossing animated film of all time, and the 50th highest - grossing film of all time. Deadline.com calculated the net profit of the film to be $374.6 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues for the film, making it the most profitable release of 2016. North america In Canada and the United States, the film was projected to gross around $70 million in its opening weekend, with some predictions going as high as $100 million. It received the widest release for an animated film as well as for a PG - rated film ( breaking Shrek Forever After 's record ) and the seventh widest of all time overall, across 4,370 theaters, the widest release since The Dark Knight Rises. It made $5.3 million from Thursday night previews in 3,009 theaters, which is the second biggest of all time for Illumination, behind only Minions ( $6.2 million ), and the third biggest of all time for an animated film, behind Finding Dory ( $9.2 million ) and Minions. This was followed by a record - breaking $38.5 million opening day gross ( including previews ), the biggest for an original film. In its opening weekend, it exceeded expectations and grossed $104.4 million, finishing first at the box office. Its debut is the sixth biggest for an animated film, the sixth highest weekend debut in July, and the fourth biggest opening weekend for Universal Pictures.

Critical response On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 75 % based on 204 reviews with an average rating of 6.2 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` Fast - paced, funny, and blessed with a talented voice cast, The Secret Life of Pets offers a beautifully animated, cheerfully undemanding family - friendly diversion. '' On Metacritic, the film has a score of 61 out of 100 based on 39 critics, indicating `` generally favorable reviews. '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film three out of four stars and called it `` an animated fluffball - a sort of Toy Story with pets does everything to drive you crazy and ends up being totally irresistible. '' Scott Tobias, writing for NPR, characterized the film 's concept as `` Toy Story but with house pets, '' highlighting the film 's `` thinly distinguished characters '' and `` gloppy sentimentality. '' Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer gave the film three out of four stars and said `` In much the same way that the smash Zootopia demonstrated that creatures of different culture and class and species are better off when they come together, The Secret Life of Pets is a testament to teamwork and friendship and fixing the rifts that divide us. Let the fur -- and the warm, fuzzy feelings -- fly. '' However, some critics disliked the film 's unexpected similarities with Pixar 's Toy Story. Matthew Parkinson of The Escapist compared the plots of both films and wrote that `` The Secret Life of Pets feels like one of those hour - long ripoffs you 'd see on a children 's television network. '' Ethan Anderton of the website / Film criticised the film 's characterisation, and noted that the relationship between Max and Duke was akin to `` Woody and Buzz Lightyear all over again.
