All my specs are fine but constantly have the game freezing up, crashing or my main character walks back and forth. Online help was useless. I am so disappointed because after you get past the first few days there is more to do and I was enjoying it.

i didn't really like it it was a slowing moving game your basically raising dogs and earning points i thought it was more of a time management type of game like the diner dash type version of an animal hosiptal. i'm not into slow moving games like that. but i will tell you this the reason why i gave it a full set of stars because even though i don't like those kind of games is because i did play it and i will tell you i loved the graphics they were so real like and bright and it was cute so i'm sure for someone who likes those kind of games it is a very good game i can rate based on my experince and i really must say the graphics were excellent the pictures were nice and bright and kinda jumped out at you very lifelike.

I am 9 years old. I have read most of these reviews and some of the people do not know how to get from bunnies to cats. I had already treated lots bunnies and read ALL the animal books and still didn't get cats. You have to build the cat pen before you can get cats. I have gotten to horses now and I really like this game. We have a brand new computer and I don't have any problems with the game.

I bought this for my 6 yr old daughter and i must say, has wonderful 3D graphis but its a very hard game to learn. She gets frustated with it cause you have to move fast and all. I wouldnt recommend this game for anyone under 10 yrs old

Great software, my 11 YO daughter really enjoys it!

After reading the warnings from previous reviews I bought this for my daughter and once I got it running, she thoroughly enjoyed it. I did have to update the ActiveX controls or DirectX v. 10 on my PC through Microsoft's website and I also had to update the video controller for our NVIDIA GeForce 7300 video card through NVIDIA's website. Once this was done it worked fine - the 3D imaging is nice and the program runs without any delays. My PC needed these updates anyway so be patient if you run into any difficulties during the first attempt at running the program. It's worth it! Also, I found it at BestBuy for $14.99!

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!

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.
