00:00A new chapter begins, Max and Duke are now settled into a peaceful life with Katie and her growing son Liam.

00:06Life in the apartment is quieter, and Max is finally adjusting to his role as protector and older brother.

00:13Snowball enjoys his superhero alter ego, now retired but still performing missions for fun.

00:19Gidget has grown closer to Max, though their relationship remains adorably awkward.

00:24One morning, Katie announces a surprise, a family vacation to a nature resort.

00:30The pets, excited and nervous, prepare for their first real trip into the wild.

00:34Road trip madness, all the pets are packed into the family van, including Snowball, Gidget, Chloe, and Mel.

00:41Chaos erupts in the car as Mel gets carsick and Chloe steals all the snacks.

00:46Snowball treats the road trip like a high-stakes mission complete with binoculars.

00:51After a bumpy drive, they arrive at a luxurious eco-cabin in the middle of a sprawling national park.

00:57Katie sets strict rules, no wandering, no wild animal chasing, no mischief.

01:03Naturally, the pets immediately break all three.

01:06Welcome to the wild, Max is nervous about the unfamiliar territory, trees, bugs, and the sounds of distant wolves.

01:13Gidget is horrified to learn there's no cell reception and no groomers for Miles.

01:18Chloe immediately declares herself queen at the cabin and takes over Liam's bed.

01:22Snowball insists there's a secret animal rebellion in the woods they need to uncover.

01:28They meet a friendly raccoon named Rascal who tells them of a legendary hidden valley.

01:34Curious and excited, Snowball convinces the group to explore it.

01:37Lost and separated during the night, the pets sneak out of the cabin with Rascal as their guide.

01:43While crossing a wooden bridge, it collapses, splitting the group in two.

01:47Max, Snowball, and Gidget end up deep in the forest.

01:51Chloe, Mel, and Buddy are stuck on the other side trying to find a way back.

01:55The forest proves to be unpredictable and dangerous.

01:58Max takes charge reluctantly, feeling responsible for everyone's safety.

02:04Into the Hidden Valley Rascal leads the trio to the rumored Hidden Valley, a secret haven of free animals.

02:10The valley is ruled by a mysterious fox named Ember who distrusts domesticated pets.

02:16Ember warns them this is no place for callers.

02:19Snowball tries to impress Ember with his superhero persona but fails hilariously.

02:25Gidget, surprisingly, connects with a wild lynx who respects her fierceness.

02:29Max tries to convince Ember to help them get back, but she refuses.

02:34Trouble at the cabin, back at the cabin.

02:36Katie wakes up and finds all the pets missing.

02:38Liam is worried sick, and the forest rangers are alerted.

03:07Ember refuses to abandon her home and prepares to defend it.

03:11Max offers to help, hoping to earn Ember's trust.

03:15Snowball declares this his greatest mission ever and starts training with the wild animals.

03:21Gidget invents a fashion-forward battle strategy.

03:23Sparkles and all.

03:24The battle begins.

03:25The wolf pack launches a surprise attack on the valley.

03:28Max and Ember fight side by side, protecting the smaller animals.

03:33Snowball rides into battle on a deer, barking orders dramatically.

03:38Gidget leads a diversion with her glitter bomb invention.

03:40Just when things look grim, Chloe, Mel, and Buddy arrive with unexpected help.

03:45The grumpy bear charges in and scares off the wolves.

03:48Healing the divide after the battle, Ember admits she was wrong about Max and his friends.

03:54She offers them honorary status as wild allies of the valley.

03:58Max finally feels respected outside the comfort of home.

04:01Snowball decides to retire again, this time as a commander of the forest.

04:05Gidget shares a quiet moment with Max, hinting at something deeper.

05:06you'll always be one of us.

05:08Max keeps the charm on his collar, smiling proudly.

05:12Liam draws a picture of Max as a forest hero dog.

05:14Katie frames it and hangs it in the living room.

05:23Trouble follows Rascal, warns of a new threat, a construction company trying to destroy the valley.

05:28He pleads with Max and the others to return and help.

05:34But when Liam says, we're the bravest dog I know, Max agrees.
