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
Most young children know at least one pet by name, at home, at a grandparent's house or in the classroom. Starting with that animal makes the puzzle personal before a single word is found.
Cat, Dog, Rat and Vet are three letters long. Rabbit and Mouse take more effort. Each word runs straight to the right or straight down, so read it aloud, find the first letter and follow it with a finger.
After the search, talk about what a pet needs every day. Bowl and Cage are both on the list, which is a good way in.
