Easy pets word search
Dog, cat, fish and rabbit for young readers who love their pets. All ten words go straight across or down in a small grid, so a child can circle every one of them without help.
- Bird
- Bowl
- Cage
- Cat
- Dog
- Fish
- Mouse
- Rabbit
- Rat
- Vet
This is the same puzzle as on the printable sheet. Every word you find turns green and is crossed off the list.

About this word search
Young children tend to have strong opinions about pets, which makes this list an easy way into reading. Ask whose house has a Dog, a Cat or a Fish, and start with that word. Saying each name slowly together, and listening for its first sound, helps before the hunt begins.
In this ten by ten grid the words run only to the right or downward. Put a finger at the start of a row and move it along until you reach the letter you need, then check whether the next ones follow in a straight line. If they do not, keep going.
Once all ten are circled, ask which animal would live in the Cage and which one eats from a Bowl. The word list quickly turns into a chat about caring for animals.
