Universal Pictures

enclosed carrier on trips up to seven hours in length. Both pet and carrier

The Secret Life of Pets, starring Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Lake Bell, Jenny
Slate, Louis C.K. and Ellie Kemper, is now available on Digital HD, 4K Ultra
HD™, Blu-ray ™ 3D, Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand.
In their fifth fully
animated feature-film collaboration, Illumination Entertainment and Universal
Pictures present The
Secret Life of Pets, a comedy about the lives our pets lead
when we leave for work or school, which has grossed more than $873 million in
global ticket sales. Max, voiced by Louis C.K., is a loyal terrier living a
perfectly happy existence until his owner, Katie (Ellie Kemper) brings home
Duke (Eric Stonestreet) a big, boisterous mutt she finds at the shelter. When
Max and his unruly new “roommate” slip away from their dog-walker, they find
themselves lost in the urban jungle of New York City. In an attempt to
stay ahead of animal control and a rebel band of abandoned pets led by an
unhinged bunny named Snowball (Kevin Hart), they put aside their differences to
survive the epic journey back home.
