It combines live-action and CGI to create a world where cats and dogs have been engaged in a secret war for centuries.

However, his discovery is also noticed by the top-ranking agents of Tabby, an organization of cats who are determined to take over the world.
The cats want to use the vaccine to make humans love dogs more than cats. To this end, they plan to steal the vaccine from Professor Brody's lab.

Meanwhile, the cats deploy their agents, who include Mr. Tinkles, a white Persian cat with a twisted sense of humor and a thirst for power, his right-hand cat Calico, and a team of feline ninjas.
As the cats and dogs engage in an epic battle for supremacy, Lou joins forces with other heroic dogs, including Butch, the seasoned leader of the canine spies, and Ivy, a beautiful Saluki gal who develops a romantic interest in Lou. Together, they must protect the vaccine and stop the cats from taking over the world.
