Pet City Reviews

by DebbyN

While I really enjoyed this game in the beginning, there was one incident that is just simply unacceptable for "a pet lovers game". While I am unsure whether this was a glitch or just a mistake, it cost me a beloved pixelated friend. It occurred about a week ago, one of my puppies grew critically ill. of course I was willing to pay for medicine to keep his life, but the game wouldn't allow me to do so. Instead it wanted me to pay for gems, which of course I had none. It, of course, directed me to where I can purchase gems, but living a financially restricted life, I was not about pay 2.99 to save one puppies life, sad as it made me feel. And so I was forced to abandon the puppy. This action is strictly intolerable. While I understand, the company wants/needs money to survive, there are other ways of collecting. That is why I am giving it only one star. Before I had given it five. Saying it was an enjoyable game. But after being emotionally blackmailed, I feel this game isn't worth my time anymore. It's simply greedy companies trying to sucker-punch me and possibly others into buying gems to keep their company afloat, even though there are probably millions of people buying gems as it is. This seems cruel and completely unnecessary. And what is saddest of all is a poor pixelated puppy has to pay the price. While I did say this might be a glitch, somehow I feel it's just not.

As I was reading reviews for this game, I noticed a few that said their puppies had fallen ill and died. Immediately after, while playing the game a message popped up saying that my puppy was in "critical condition" and that I needed to save it. Fortunately, I had a few gems, and was able to save it. Unfortunately, I now have no gems because I used them up
Saving the puppy. Another problem is that the game told me if I rated it, I would get a reward. I still have yet to see a reward of any kind. It also gives children the message that breeding and selling dogs is okay. The game should be updated so that instead of being a puppy mill, the player gets to rescue different types of animals. I read another review that talked about this, and i have to admit, I haven't noticed it before. But it really isn't okay. This game uses emotional blackmail to get kids to spend money and promotes animal mills. Wouldn't recommend for small children, or, anyone.

Parents Beware!! The previous commenter who accused PetCity of committing emotional black mail is dead on. Pet City attempts to control it's players by guilt tripping them into making in-app purchases. Only a few days after getting this game, one of my first pets, a puppy, randomly fell ill. (And considering the clear lack of morals in producing this game, I must say, I have doubts that it is a coincidence that a baby was the first to get sick.) A message popped up on the screen warning me that she was in critical condition, and the only way to revive her was to pay gems. Since I had no gems and I can't afford to pay real money for a virtual animal (I have real pets that I need to save my money for), I was given no choice but to abandon the dying cyber pup. Immediately after, I promptly deleted the game from my phone. This is a horribly reprehensible technique, especially in a game marketed primarily towards young children. For older players, this might be easier to look past, however, I contend, the whole principle of the thing should be enough to hinder anyone from playing. Please don't enable this type of heinous retail strategy by downloading Pet City!!! The makers ought to be ashamed!!!

I wish I could give this thing 0. My sis wanted to play it. She downloaded it on my phone and I decided to check it out. I go on and see the breeder area. Let me say first, I am a huge "Adopt don't Shop" person. The way they did this was HORRIBLE! I would of been much happier with this game if it was a shelter. Kids don't need the message that it's OK to breed dogs. There's already 2.7 million animals being euthanized each year. I know many probably disagree with me by now, but please understand💕. Then a message pops up on the screen saying something was wrong with the unborn puppy. My sister just turned 7 and doesn't understand how to manage her "gems". So the two options were to eather abandon the puppy (let it die😢) or save it by using gems. She didn't have any "gems"!! These people are so greedy! This is BLACKMAIL AND supporting puppy mills and/or unresponsible breeding of animals! It was hard enough explaining to my sister why she didn't have a new puppy on her game THEN having to explain to her the game had to be deleted! Very disappointed. Have a good day💕🐾

Fun overall, but its literally IMPOSSIBLE to get gems without buying them. Also, I already expanded my shop to the max and i even added a second floor and I got a mission saying expand your shop, and I can't cuz it already is expanded all they way. I'm saving up for the wolf and i only have 4 gems, and I can skip the mission for 3, but I don't want to so I'm stuck. FIX IT!!!! And every time I go to my second floor, one of my pets get sick, and then the rest of my pets get sad and hungry! Is this some sort of way to steal money? I still love the game, but please: make gems easier to get and don't make pets get sick every time I visit my other floors!!!!! And I was on day five so I got to spin the wheel, but instead I got the pop up that said one of my pets was sick, and I visited that pet and gave him soup and when I exited I NEVER got to spin the wheel!!!! This happened multiple times!!! PLEASE FIX!!!

Don't get me wrong, I loved this game. It was one of my favorites. I played it on my iPad all of the time as a younger child. It was fun and cute to me. But then the same thing that happens to everyone happened. A PUPPY became critically ill, right out of the blue. Of course I wanted to help it get better, so I decided to try to buy the medicine that would help it. But every free game has a 'gem' system in it so that the company can make money. As if making everything fancy cost gems and having more than enough people buying gems every day, they had to use a cruel and heartbreaking way to snag money from children. Killing off one of their beloved pixilated puppies. The only way to save the poor thing was to buy gems. Imagine the first time I saw that one of my puppies was dying as a small child. Imagine me having to abandon the puppy with the lack of money I had to spend on digital games. This was straight up cruel and I will not support this used to be fun game until it is UPDATED AND FIXED! Take away this cruelty and I might re download. Thank you for your time.

When I first got PetCity it was totally fine it was actually quite fun I had three pets but then I was curious what was storage in edit in PetCity then so I pressed it and then my pet disappeared so I only have two pets left and that was very disappointing because I have no idea how to get my pet back from storage and iPad storage again I Was wondering how to open so I pressed it thinking it would open there would be a patter was wondering how to open so I pressed it thinking it would open there would be a pet in it but then it took me another one of my pets and I was so sad because I have no idea how to put it back where it was in my in my place so I only had one pet and so I deleted it because I was really upset and I just got it again a few minutes after and wish me luck that it doesn’t do it again 😡😢😊

I love this game! Awesome, has so many breeds. Love it, better than a lot of games like the one I just previously reviewed, saying how this was all a lot better than that one. So yeah I love it so much! Anyone who reading this review, it’s a great game. Worth every penny (although that’s just a saying, I’ve never actually done an in app purchase, I think the only one is more gems) so yeah it’s great but I think the dogs should cost a little less, like the poodle. Although I find poodles EXTREMELY unattractive, cross breed with poodles are absolutely adorable. The only problem is, the petting the dogs. They are all so finicky about where they’re being pet! The only dogs who don’t do this are my border collies (I love you, Cookie) (cookie is my first dog/border collie). So yeah they are all so Judgey where I pet them. If I pet them in the wrong spot, they’re happiness goes down and it gets me really stressed! I don’t want them to be unhappy, I want them to be as happy as could be! But if I pet them in the wrong spot, they aren’t. Only does their happiness go up if I pet them in the EXACT Right spot! Please fix!

This game is alright. Better than average, I must say, but not by much...I was totally obsessed with it, once upon a time. I have to say, it's great for younger kids, but not for anyone older than 9. I mean, Who wouldn't fall in love with lots of adorably cartooned pets and their babies?! It is definitely something animal lovers will like. However, you might want to change a few things. There are only so many pets to buy, and not many mixes. So the game, by level 50 (which you can get to in 5 weeks, btw), is totally boring. It's too easy. Maybe you could add pet shows, dog and cat accessories, and make tropical animals..cheaper? Also, the babies don't ever grow up. It would be fun to make the dogs have blooming personalities - to make them more realistic. In every way, more realistic. And I know some games that add a daily fact, or quiz. It's never bad to make something educational - I say that a lot! Thanks for listening. I hope you can update this great app soon. I think eventually, I'll rate it a five. Good luck!

I love PetCity but I can’t even get to play it because I have to download it multiple times because I crossbred sometimes and it crashes so when I try to open PetCity it’s not even loading. Also I even buy dogs and cats with my coins on PetCity and the next few days I have to download it because it crashed again. so I have to download it again and restart PetCity with all of my progress and hard work and my animals.
Otherwise I will play PetCity 99%of my weekdays. I also think you should earn four gems a week for your weekly rewards every time you login.
And I also want a ton more different unique animals like a cavleer King Charles kind of dog. I love the many different animals in the world. Otherwise I would love PetCity even more!!
It also makes so angry and so so sad when I have to abandon a poor sick animal. So I’m hoping it would have to cost a lot less gems to have to heal sick pets so they don’t have to die. I hate it when I have to abandon a part of an animal family or just a pet.
I don’t like how I don’t get much gems. Otherwise I would probably play it every day and night. I wish you could add a lot more stuff to PetCity. But I love the game so much and it’s fun.

Fun game!!! Super cute. Although, I bought gems & still have advertisements. :( It says that if you buy coins/gems it disables adds. Maybe you have to buy so many $ worth of coins/gems to disable adds?
Also I had just fed all my pets on floor "0" , went to floor "1" to feed my one pet up there and buy some accessories (to complete a task ), then went back down(to floor "0").......and it said they were all hungry again!!!
I had spent almost all my money($30,000ish)on feeding them(now $2,000ish), gone to floor "1" above and back down to find out they were all starving! Now I have to wait for them to give me the money to be able to feed them. This is a serious glitch that should be fixed soon, please(I would appreciate it very much).
Thanks for making a cute game, but it's no fun if you spend your "game money" to accomplish nothing.
Thanks and hope you can fix the glitch:)

So I got this game and I first I loved it. You could earn gems, it didn't require wifi, you could actually care for your pets, and everything wasn't so expensive. I had it for a week or two and played it a lot, but it got a bit boring and time consuming after a while. You pretty much had to play to the game, even if you didn't want to, or else your pets would get sick and die. I do like the fact that you can take care of the pets, but you couldn't even spend a day away from them without them dying. I think that maybe the pets should go longer without getting sick. Maybe two days and then they get sick, not two hours. Other than that the game was fun. I did have to delete it after about two weeks of game play because it was time consuming and starting to get boring. But I think for other game players, the pets should go longer without getting sick.

OK so I love the game yes there is one problem I can’t get gems easier OK so you got exotic animals there’s like things that cost like 65 gems I only get two gems if you’re lucky enough to get that quest now I understand you want to make the game fun and hard but please us kids we can’t do offers like that yes I am a nine-year-old I can do the offers yeah I have an email blah blah blah but seriously I understand that you want to make the game how can I say this you want to make it fun and adorable which is it is adorable but I really want more animals and I want to make money faster considering I hate the games you have to wait hours and minutes and time freezes to get things done I hate those games but this game is more fun there’s a lot of things to do in it so I give it four stars I understand this is a long review but I hope you read it have a blessed day and please fix this thank you❤️

It is pretty fun but wy are there so many games that give only a fu things for animals is int playing for fun wy do we have to buy the animals and gems well we should eirn the gems
but we should eirn them faster there should be more ways to eirn them what if people don't have money to spend and then there will be only a fu people who will spend money and then business will be bad .So all I am asking for and I am talking also for a whole bunch of people who don't have so much money so all we are asking for is to give us a game that is some thing VERY VERY FUN !!!!!! And that we don't have to pay any money for the game or in it or else people won't be able to play this game and there go's the business BUY BUY .

The animals are very cute and it's well made. However there is only a very simple tutorial at the beginning and you're in your own. I play with my daughter and we spent a fortune before finding out you can earn gems by friending people in Game Center and they can each give you one gem a day. Otherwise you cannot play long without buying gems. You can play without buying coins if you have a LOT of patience and can wait days for things to happen. Which my daughter does not, so we still spend too much on this game. But it's cute and addicting and well made. Add information on how to add friends to your game! It's done through Game Center - not PetCity itself.

This isn't some game that people play to occupy themselves. This isn't just a game either it's an interaction with pets on a tablet. It's better than those talking cats games like talking Angela and talking tom. Those are boring games. Plus you can play this game whenever and wherever. Like in the library when you get bored and don't want to work on your assignment. Also it's a good game to play because it helps many kids emotions become positive in stead of unhappy. This would be a benefit for both you and your peers. Anyways, it's also a good occupier for children and adults. Another thing PetCity does iis help humans and mortals like us learn to care fir pets. I say this because lately people have be abusing animals and ecpissally cats and dogs. In this game many can learn that it isn't hard to tatake care of a pet. ------------

OMG!! I love the pets! They are SOOOOO cute!!! The coins are easy to get and you can name the pets!!!!! I have a Husky, Lab, Bassett Hound, and a WOLE lot more!!!!! Almost all my pets have puppies!!! I made my shop bigger and I'm prepared to have more pets!!! Only the gems are hard to get. But I totally LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! It downloaded fast and there is plenty to do!!!!!!!! I love dogs so I have a lot of dogs in my shop! Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you will love it too! I do!! It might be a bit hard to get the coins that you need but it will happen!! The baby pets can be hard to get because it will take a lot of hours or days. :):):):):) I think that this is the best game I have ever played!!! ( More quests please I have been waiting for about three months!.) But one thing...I updated this game but...um...no new animals...no new quests. Get more ASAP. I'm board I already deleted it.

This is an amazing game. It's really fun, but there are some things that bother me. Reason #1 SICK ANIMALS... I was playing the game then an icon popped up and said my basset hound puppy was sick! I clicked the button that said "buy medicine" because instead I thought it costed coins, not gems. I spent the last of my gems to save him. Then the next day, he got sick again! I had no gems and couldn't save him. I was forced to let him die. I was devastated so I deleted PetCity . Then, about a year later, I redo loaded it, hoping that this horrible way of getting money was gone. Luckily, none of my animals have gotten sick yet. This should really not be on this children's game. THE LAST REASON IS... When i first got the game, I thought the turtle was really cute. When I went to see how much they were, they costed gems! I was sad so bought a dog instead. ALSO, THERE IS ONE MORE REASON... I think that the game should let you crossbreed any animals together. OTHERWISE, THIS IS A GREAT GAME.

This is a REALLY good game. It’s very fun and everything is very easy and straightforward. I have had this game for a little while and I got really far and I was enjoying it when all of a sudden when I went into PetCity , something popped up. It read: “Downloading Content. Downloading Update 1.” I was a little confused at first but I decided to wait it out. Nothing happened. The “update” just kept loading and there were no options, nothing to click on. So, I exited out of PetCity , waited a couple minutes, and then went back into it. Yet again, the same thing popped up. So, I decided to wait significantly longer to see if anything would happen... nothing. I then finally decided to delete PetCity and re-download it. PetCity went very smoothly and everything was back to normal (except that I had lost all my progress). I had played the game earlier this morning and everything was fine. Then, all of a sudden, the “update” pops up again. Can somebody please fix this?

by The Wolf And The Lion <

Normally, I would have given this game a 5 star rating but after owning this game for a little while I opened PetCity to play when it was stuck on the starting screen with the words “downloaded update one...” with the little loading sign. I left it on that screen for a little while but nothing happened. I’m really disappointed because that was one of my favorite games. I dont want to delete it because I have a lot of progress. Ever since it’s just been sitting in my game folder and has been for months. I don’t know if I’m not waiting long enough or if there is something wrong with PetCity . Please figure something out. Thanks, The Animal Squad <3
