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
Rabbit is the longest word here at six letters, and the others have only three or four. For a child who is just learning to read, that is a friendly mix with one word to work at and plenty of quick wins.
Before you start, point at each word on the list and say it together. In the small grid a word heads either to the right or straight down, never any other way. Your child only has to spot the first letter and then check the square beside it or the one below.
Afterward, talk about which animals live in a Cage, which eat from a Bowl and which ones visit the Vet. If you have a pet, let your child draw it and write its name under the picture.
