Like the Toy Story ensemble, the individual personalities of the supporting players in Secret Life of Pets shine through, even with limited screen time for each of them.

A secondary plot thread that revolves around Gidget leading the charge to rescue Max is likewise enjoyable, thanks to the fine work by the voice actors behind Max's non-human neighbors - including, the determined pomeranian Gidget (Jenny Slate) jolly-but-hyperactive pug Mel (Bobby Moynihan) apathetic, but secretly caring, tabby cat Chloe (Lake Bell) easy-going dachshund Buddy (Hannibal Buress) tiny but spirited parakeet Sweet Pea (Tara Strong) and Tiberius (Albert Brooks), a lonely red-tailed hawk who struggles to contain his predatory urges. ( Louie) and Eric Stonestreet ( Modern Family) are well-cast as the voices of the domesticated Max and unrefined Duke, respectively, and their clashing personalities creates a fun dynamic between the characters - one that carries the central narrative thread in The Secret Life of Pets.
