I think it was Sigmund Freud who famously said "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." In the case of "The Secret Life of Pets," sometimes a movie about talking animals is just a movie about talking animals. Does that make "Pets" bad? No, but it makes it kind of dull, surprisingly so for a movie that runs as quickly as it does. Actually, that might not be fair either, because there are a fair number of laughs in it. But it's straight cookie-cutter stuff that adds nothing new to the genre.
