Why Paw Patrol Is Safe

Paw Patrol has no content concerns. No violence beyond mild cartoon adventure, no sexual content, no spiritual darkness, no LGBT content, no profanity. Its themes — teamwork, service, using unique skills to help others — are genuinely compatible with Christian values.

The show is particularly strong on each team member having a unique gift necessary for the whole — a concept with clear parallels to 1 Corinthians 12:12-27's teaching on the body of Christ.

The Commercial Concern

Paw Patrol is one of the most aggressively merchandised children's properties in history. The show functions partly as a toy commercial. This is a parenting concern, not a content concern.
