This week has been really hard given that our precious Cielito got hurt over the weekend. We took her to the vet and she’s been on pain meds and antibiotics, but she hasn’t been her active, sassy self since.

We were so excited to receive a The Secret Life Of Pets 2 delivery with a fun party kit and other goodies for our sweet pet, along with the all new The Secret Life Of Pets 2 Blu-ray, DVD, and digital movie combo so we can enjoy it with Cielito this week.

Our pawsome pet package included the most pawtastic pet party kit essentials, including elements to create your own Cat Hats and Doggie Donuts and lots of swag!

The Secret Life Of Pets is a must-watch for every pet owner, so I’ve partnered with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment to giveaway a digital code of this film, which has a 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The perfect movie for everyone is now available to watch at home with the family with the irreverent yet heartfelt sequel to the blockbuster sensation in The Secret Life of Pets 2.

The highly anticipated follow-up to the hit animated film led by a star-studded comedic cast reunites all of our favorite Pets and their growing families in a new chapter that explores the deep bond between them and the humans that love them.

As the dog days of summer come to an end, join this endearing cast of four-legged friends for a quality movie night of family fun with the film that uniquely reminds us of why we love our own pets and what makes them so very special.

The Secret Life of Pets 2 explores the emotional lives of our pets, the deep bond between them, the families that love them, and answers the question: What are your pets really doing when you’re not at home? Terrier Max (Patton Oswalt) is 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.

The film features an all-star voice cast including Patton Oswalt (TV’s “A.P. Bio”), Kevin Hart (Ride Along Series), Eric Stonestreet (TV’s Modern Family), Jenny Slate (Despicable Me 3), Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip), Lake Bell (TV’s Children’s Hospital), Nick Kroll (Sing), Dana Carvey (Wayne’s World), Ellie Kemper (TV’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), Hannibal Buress (Neighbors series), Bobby Moynihan (TV’s “Saturday Night Live”) and Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones franchise) in his first ever role in an animated film as new farm dog, Rooster.
