"10 year old Girl loves it!"
You get to interact with the animals and have to built up to be able to treat all the animals. I love playing with the animals that stay over night. Must do a good job so that you keep getting more customers. In the end you can have your own horse. Some of the graphic could be better as and different sound bits so they don't say the same thing over and over. Still a very fun game!

"Pet Vet"
This is a really cute game. My 7 year old enjoys playing it. He requires help in reading some of the text. An option to have unknown words pronounced by the computer would be a welcome addition. So far, the biggest drawback is the length of time required to walk to town for supplies, etc.

"Satisfied after much research, trial and error and patience!"
I have never reviewed a product, but after reading some of the things said about this game (trying to research answers for some of the problems we were having) I felt the need to review this to help those considering buying it to better understand and get past some of the complaints of the quick-to-give-up.



I began this game with frustration also. Every complaint that I have read I have experienced. But I have the advantage of being married to a computer business owner. :) First we had upgrades to make, specifically for our video card. We still experience glitches now and then like her sitting beside a chair instead of on it, but the game runs smoothly now without the "getting stuck" complaint.



The complaint that you only get bunnies (this took much research) has turned out to not be a problem either. There are four skills that you will be working on: healing (giving proper diagnosis and follow-up), stroking (giving the animals attention), cleaning (keeping their habitats clean), and playing (playing with the animals for exercise). Each of these skill areas increases the more you do them. In order to get the next animal (which I believe is a cat) you must first max each of the four skills for the first animal (bunnies). I found that this took a long time for my 8 year old to do. But she is patient and loved the bunnies while she had only them. MANY weeks after doing just bunnies, she has finally advanced to cats and is thrilled. I appreciate that the game writers took into consideration that in order to take care of 2 species you must first fully understand how to take care of ONE. As you continue to master each specie you are given another. We have enjoyed reading the "books" you can buy, becoming educated on each animal, and receiving a certificate to hang on your wall once you've read all the books in a series.



One review I read said they had a fairly new computer and they were upset it wouldn't run nicely on their machine. We have 3 computers in our house (being in the business) and the one our children use is NOT a new machine. We didn't have to have a new machine to run this game. Just an upgraded video card. If this game isn't working like you think it should, get a little computer advice from someone you can trust who knows what they are talking about. I'm glad we stuck it out with this game. I think you won't be disappointed if you can just work past the bugs and unknown. When my 8 year old, 6 year old and 4 year old are in bed, I have been known to sign-in to the game and play a little myself. :)

"My 8 yr old, and I hate this game"
I believe there is something wrong with it. It slows up a lot, very hard to manuever the characters, slow, boring. Not a good game.

"bad game"
This game can get very boring. It's very confusing and hard to control. It is sooooo frustrating!!!!!!!!! The instruction booklet doesn't come in handy either. Like some other people, I only got rabbits too. I bought this game because I wanted to heal cats and horses. But, only rabbits came. Buying this game was a big mistake. It is reallly no fun. Don't waste your money on this game. I gave up about a month ago. I've left it on the shelf and haven't touched it since.
