One of the best investments I've ever made!
I had a feeling my 5 year old daughter would enjoy this game - and boy! I was right on with that one! She plays with her dogs and cats every day, taking time to feed them and give them attention, dressing them up in costumes and playing with different toys. She learned very quickly that no two pets have the same personality and I'm amazed at how much she has learned about responsibility from playing this game. She had a dog that actually ran away because she neglected him and she learned a big lesson from that. An excellent precursor to owning a pet for real, especially for a youngster who loves animals. She's so proud that she got an award from the "adoption center" saying she's a good pet owner and now she has puppies from a mated pair of dogs that she adopted. It's not an overly exciting game, but there is so much to do and it's never the same thing twice. I highly reccomend this game for anyone with kids who want a pet or even if they just like animals.

simple but fun
Basically, you raise and care for virtual pet dogs or cats. Both of my daughters, ages 3.5 and 9, love this game. The 9 year old understands it better and is able to play it the way it is intended to be played, but the 3.5 year old still likes to get on the computer and play with the cute little dogs. It is a simplistic game, but the animals are cute. Nothing challenging here- you feed, exercise, and groom your virtual dogs/cats on a daily basis. If you don't regularly care for them, they run away. They can fall in love and have puppies/kittens. Again, nothing challenging, but both of my daughters enjoy this game a lot.

Very good computer game for pre-teen youngsters
Got this for my 10-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. She installed it herself, it seems to run fine with no problems. She loves the game, spends hours (more if I let her) playing it. Best of all, it is non-violent, and may even be educational!

grandaughters happiness
I bought the game for my 11 year old grandaughter who lives in a different state. I could not find it at local stores so Amazon as always had it.
My grandaughter and a best friend spends time with their pets. They feed and play with the pets.
She loves the game.
I would buy it again.

Been a Petz fan since Petz2!
This game offers game play with no end, there is not only mini games where you can win prizes...but you also can play fetch and many other games with your petz. You can breed mixed dogs or purebred...and can even do selective breeding.

Beyond the game: One of the coolest things about Petz is the online community, there is many sites with custom breeds and petz...as well as online dog shows! A great experience for all ages and a wonderful way to meet new people.
