Product Description

From the Manufacturer

In this exciting compilation, Petz: Dogz 5 and Catz 5, dogz and catz live on your computer desktop. You raise them from little puppyz and kittenz as they grow, play, and learn together. When they grow up, many will start families of their own. Petz look to you for care, guidance, and training. For every Petz you adopt, you'll get to sign an adoption pledge promising to be a good Petz owner. Make sure your dogz and catz get plenty of healthy food, exercise, and playtime--and lots of love from you! Tasty treatz are one way to reward your Petz for good behavior--just don't overdo it. Use the spray bottle to keep particularly naughty Petz in line. Your Petz will run away if they feel neglected. Please adopt only those Petz you're sure you want and take good care of them.

This review is from: Petz: Dogz 5 and Catz 5 (CD-ROM)

This game is really entertaining. The "voices" of the cats and dogs on the computer are simply realistic; and there is no need for a pooper-scooper! The best thing is, you can take care of your pet, leave on a vacation for a few days, start up the program, and the game will not go on without you! And better yet, there is no allergy, or cat fur, or smelly doggy breath aorund the house. Really well done. My daughter loves it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Kidz Game!, February 9, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Petz: Dogz 5 and Catz 5 (CD-ROM)

If you are a kid, and your parents won't let you have a pet, then this is the perfect game 4 you! With the cutest pets, awesome graphics, and cool features, this is definately a good buy.

Graphics-8/10: This game's graphics have really improved since Dogz 1 and the rest of the series. And the dogz look more real than ever. And now some of the themes are 3-D.

Sound-6/10: Although the barks, purrs, and meows all sound pretty realistic, I still think that there could be more sound. But I must say, the sound is decent for a computer game.

Responsibilty-9/10: If you are a parent, then I must say that this game will teach your child you to take care of a pet. Although you have no pooper-scoopers and dirty pets, this game still teaches responsibility. Yo have to feed, play, and love your pet, or else it will run away-A good lesson!

Overall-10/10: This game is basically the best computer game ever made. But that's just my opinion. It may seem boring at first, but soon you will become addicted. I got Dogz 1 when I was 5, and I am now 11. And no, I am not sick of the series!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 5 year old is in love with this game!, February 15, 2007

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Petz: Dogz 5 and Catz 5 (CD-ROM)

We bought this for my 5 year old animal lover when we had to return the Pet Vet 3D game she got for Christmas. The other game was a disaster. Lots of glitches that made it difficult to play. This game however is great! She LOVES cats so the idea of being able to take care of and play with a bunch of them is irresitable! Especially since we won't let her get another real one. Two of her cats have had kittens and we didn't have any of the problems that other reviewers have mentioned when that happens. The game seems to be working well and she can get around in it easily. We've even taken a picture of her bedroom and uploaded it as a scene for her cats to play in. I'm so glad we bought this one. It's a keeper!
