Plot

Inside of a Manhattan apartment building, a terrier named Max (Louis C.K.) starts to get neglected as a favorite pet when his owner Katie (Ellie Kemper) presents a sloppy mongrel named Duke (Eric Stonestreet), obtained from a dog pound, which results in a rivalry for both of them.[6] But they have to put their quarrels behind when a seemingly adorable white rabbit named Snowball (Kevin Hart) and his army of abandoned pets who call themselves the "Flushed Pets" – [6] launch a criminal conspiracy to exact retaliation on all happily-owned pets and their owners. Meanwhile a Pomeranian named Gidget (Jenny Slate) assembles her own ragtag group of pets to track Max down.
