Pets is an adult British puppet sitcom, produced by Fit2Fill Productions Limited. It was originally aired on Channel 4 and ran for two series, the first being broadcast in 2001, and the second in 2002. It was also sold to Fox in Australia, MTV in Italy, and the Middle East.

The series was created and written by Andrew Barclay and Brian West, who had previously worked together at the Edinburgh Festival, winning an award for an advert for The Jerry Springer Show, and on the sketch show We Know Where You Live.

A total of 26 episodes of Pets were aired, all approximately 11 minutes long. They were shown in the early hours of the morning, and as a result, the series was fairly unknown, although it did gain a significant cult following. There was a demand on the official website for Pets to be released on DVD. Eventually a limited edition DVD was made available to purchase via the official website. As well as the two series, the DVD included two unbroadcast episodes, a clip show named "The Trials Of Hamish", and a behind-the-scenes special named "The Making Of Pets".

Several episodes of Pets are currently available as a free podcast downloadable via iTunes. In 2010, a similar show named Mongrels aired on BBC3, sparking controversy between the two. The casts of characters in those two shows are almost similar as well, although Pets had four main characters while Mongrels had five. Also, Mongrels' range of locations is more diverse, while Pets is confined to a single flat.

Il programma segue la vita di tutti i giorni di quattro animali da compagnia (in inglese pets), che vivono in una casa malridotta e sudicia dove tuttavia funzionano ancora l'elettricità e l'acqua corrente. Non si è mai visto un proprietario umano, il che suggerisce che gli animali vivano in un universo antropomorfo. I protagonisti si comportano come esseri umani, in quanto stanno in posizione eretta, parlano e guardano la televisione.

Tutti gli episodi sono indipendenti l'uno dall'altro e si svolgono interamente all'interno della casa.

Gli eventi narrati tendono ad essere molto bizzarri; nella casa avvengono vari fenomeni soprannaturali come poltergeist ed apparizioni di Arcangeli ed extraterrestri.

In Pets viene usata una tecnica, tipica delle sit-com, chiamata "reset button". Nell'arco della serie ogni animale è morto almeno una volta, per poi riapparire vivo e vegeto nell'episodio successivo. Eventi accaduti negli episodi precedenti non vengono mai rievocati, mentre vengono occasionalmente richiamati in varie puntate eventi sconosciuti del passato.
