Great while it Lasted
I only played this game at my friend's house for awhile, but I really liked it. I could tell she liked it too b/c she kinda hogged it! I am planning on buying it pretty soon, but I really liked it for the fifteen minutes I played it. It has great graphics, and the sound effects are hilarious. Great game.

Great Game!
I recommend that any person that likes animals should buy this game. But I also think that you might want to try Petz 4 as well. It offers some features that never made the cut for Petz 5. Here are the Pro's and Con's of both games;

Petz 5 Pro's

-You can have up to four puppyz/kittenz per litter
-You can customize the carrying case
-There are mini-games
-There is a place to bathe your petz
-There are more breedz in the Adoption Centre

Petz 5 Con's

-When your petz has babies, you are restricted to the Nursery, and no other petz can come out while you have the mother out
-The tic-tac-toe game is quite frustrating
-There is no Toy Closet, you must find all items in the game, and if you don't collect the items from the play-scenes when you load the game for the first time, it may take a while to obtain them
-Some items are really hard to obtain, and need repeative use of a mini-game to get, such as the love potion(used to make your petz fall in love)

Petz 4 Pro's

-There is a Toy Closet where all of the items in the game are stored
-When your petz have babies, you are not required to keep the in the Nursery until they mature
-Comes with two extra breedz that do not come with Petz 5: The Pig(Dogz 4) and the Rabbit(Catz 4)

Petz 4 Con's

-Petz can only have one puppyz/kittenz per litter
-Pigz and Rabbitz are spayed/neutered
-Not as many breedz

Both games are customizable, but in order to customize breedz, you need to have some programming skills(experience with either Hex Workshop or Res Hack). I am still in the process of learning to edit breedz! There are many good sites that offer breedz and toyz that they have hexed (edited using either Hex Workshop or Res Hack) and have put up for download so that you can put them into your game. There are also sites with tutorials for how to customize your own breedz and toyz. There is even a site or two that offer downloadable programs to edit breed and toy files. All in all, I think that both games are worth buying!

Best Game in the world!
I am 12 years old(Going on 13) And I LOVE this game. It teaches responsibilty and you have fuun at the same time. ITS ADDICTING! The game is fun, but the really fun partt is going on-line and dowloading clothes, toys, breedz and other cool stuff! My 4 year old brother even likes this game! Its really fun if you get both (catz and dogz) and see them interact. I like it a lot better than petz 4! Hope you buy this product-
addicted to Petz 5

Awesome Game!
I really like this game! I love animals, so this is a great game to buy if you love animals too. I already have Dogz 3, and I like that game also. This is a great game to buy if you don't have any animals of your own, and want some. They don't bark when you don't want them to, and there is no litter to pick up. I really liked that you can breed your dogz or catz, and never know what they are going to look like, or how many, or what gender they are. It might get a little boring sometimes, but I always come back sooner or later. I also like all the new catz and dogz there are to choose from. I recommend this game to all animal lovers.

Good game!
This is a good game for kids to relax to. I often hear my son (age 7) laughing at things he does with the animals. He gets bored with it after a few days but always comes back to play it again. Definately a good game for small kids.
