Shows that feel likePAW Patrol (2013–)

Marshall, Rocky, Rubble, Zuma and Skye are doing their best to protect the people of their town. Led by Ryder, a tech-savvy 10-year-old boy, each of them is equipped with special equipment and together they help anyone who finds themselves in trouble. No task is too big for them and no puppy is too small.

If you loved PAW Patrol, the closest series we have are Ace of the Diamond (2013), Aoashi (2022) and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (2001). All three share PAW Patrol's whimsical feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Bluey (2018).
