“Pets” is engineered to make a child not just want a pet if they don’t have one, but also want to find one that needs a home and some love. And in that way, “Pets” serves up both entertainment and something for its young audience to consider.

This movie isn't really about anything... It made me kind of queasy.

The documentary Pets offers a mostly lighthearted view of how pets and humans deeply affect each others' lives. The movie excels at giving perspectives from people of diverse backgrounds and ages. The content is more entertaining than educational.
