* Chloe is considered obese. In real life, you should never overfeed your cat because it causes several health problems. It is also important that they get exercise.
* Molly is seen feeding Snowball carrots. This is okay to do in real life, as long as they are given in moderation. Carrots should be considered as candy for rabbits because they are high in sugar.
* Daisy's owner shows no concern that her dog is being chased by a bunch of wolves.
* In the end of the movie [[spoiler: Hu is adopted by the cat lady. In real life, this would not be acceptable because tigers need space, an apartment is too small for them. If the cat lady was caught with a giant tiger in her apartment, she would have to surrender Hu to an animal sanctuary.]]

** *** Uncle Shep is a negligent farmer in general. He is completely oblivious about his farm animals. For example, he doesn't notice that his turkey chases and terrorizes Max, Duke is chasing his chickens, one of his cows taunts Duke, one of his pigs escapes from its pen, and his lamb, Cotton, escapes and heads into the woods (luckily, Rooster and Max retrieve him). Perhaps this is why Rooster is the boss of the barnyard.

Added DiffLines:

** Max is chased by a turkey at the farm. He could have ended up injured if the turkey would have started to peck him. Luckily, Rooster stops the turkey chase by howling at the turkey. It is always best to keep dogs that haven't met territorial birds, like turkeys and roosters, away from them, or at a distance to prevent injuries. In addition, the dog could associate places with these birds negatively. This is on Katie and Chuck for letting their dogs run off without their supervision.


Added DiffLines:

** Rooster takes off Max's cone. The next morning, Katie and Chuck show no concern that Max's cone went missing, despite Katie being the one that got him the cone. While Max's cone was used to stop a nervous tic and he wasn't harmed, removing a cone from a dog in real life is usually unsafe because it prevents them from licking and/or scratching at wounds and stitches. If the wounds/stitches of a dog haven't healed yet and a dog licks them, the wounds could get infected and the stitched may fall out. Katie should have been concerned and searched for his cone.
** While on the farm, Katie and Chuck leave Max and Duke unsupervised on the farm. This is a bad idea considering that farm animals have taunted both of them, Max's anxiety was at an all time high (until Rooster cured him), Max almost got eaten by a fox, Rooster wasn't welcoming (initially) to Duke and Max, Max broke the sheep pen and Rooster made him go into the woods to find Cotton.

** When Katie leaves Max in the apartment, he starts making a racket because he can't reach Busy Bee because his cone prevents him from going under the table. Chuck should have made sure that Max was okay, because he could have injured himself. In real life, some dogs have severely injured themselves due to plastic cones, and some of them have even died due to their injuries. Dog owners should moderate what their furry companions do if they wear any type of cone of shame,
** [[spoiler: When struggling to sleep at the farm, Max almost gets eaten by a fox. Luckily, Rooster is able to save him in the nick of time. Uncle Shep, Chuck and Katie are all at fault because Max is a little dog that is vulnerable to predators. A big dog like Duke could easily kill a fox, whereas a small one like Max couldn't. It is always best to keep little dogs inside at night so that they aren't eaten by predators.]]

** Rooster acts harshly to Duke and Max when they arrive at the farm. Katie, Chuck and Uncle Shep didn't make sure that the dogs had a proper introduction. It is always best to introduce dogs to each other in a calm manner so that fights don't ensure. Given Rooster's harsh nature, things could have taken a turn for the worse.

** Once Liam is able to start crawling and torments Max, they are not seen correcting Liam's behavior. Liam is considered extremely lucky that he didn't get bitten by Max.
