Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this movie features several potty jokes and a great deal of comic/fantasy violence (no one hurt). Some children may be upset about an elderly character on life support, especially when his condition is used for comedy. A boy is sad when his dog disappears, and is reluctant to make friends with a replacement. The movie is mildly sexist -- although one of the spy dogs is female, she is not a part of the team, and the message that goes out to the spy dogs is prefaced with "gentlemen." A boy's feelings are hurt when he does so badly at soccer try-outs (off screen) that the coach suggests that he try out for the girls' team.

Sexual Content

Mild references to whether a male dog has been fixed.

Violence

Characters in peril, and plenty of comic slapstick violence between animals. Sad disappearance of a dog.

Language

Some mild language.

Social Behavior

While there's plenty of litter box humor, this movie comes down on the side of loyalty and the importance of family.
