I think it is a good game but as it is now you can not finish the game until they come up with a fix for the fields & meadows not opening up. I wrote to valusoft about it & this is the response I got:

Dear Paws and Claws Pet Vet Customer,

Thank you for your recent communication. We are looking into this issue
and have contacted the developer. We hope to have a resolution soon.

Thank you for your patience.

Regards,
Tech Support

I see people have been having this problem since June, you would think they would have came out with a patch or something by now. I would recommend that everyone who has this game write to valusoft & keep writing, maybe if enough people bother them about this they will come up with a fix.

Game would be better if you could open the other areas.

Bought this for my 8 yr old Granddaughter;she treated all the animals, made money went through schooling and still could not open the restricted areas. You need to save the levels during play because it locks up and if not saved during the play it will go back to the previous level. Even with this my Granddaughter still played but unfortunaltely because she could not open the other areas she is no longer playing the game. I see that many folks have had the same problems; game needs to be fixed!

I thought it was really fun. Because unlike other vet games where you click "treat" and that animal is healthy again, you actually get to make sure your giving him the right shot, (or cream)and you get a choise of where to put the medicine (on the pets) like upper body, head and lower body. Also sometimes a pet is so sick it can't go back home right away so you get to keep it overnight. And you have to make sure it stays healthy. You can also own your own horse and go riding on the trails!! There is a lot of responsibility in this game . Because if you do something wrong, that owner won't come back for a while!
I would highly recomened it! Mostly for kids 10 and up. :)

Excellent toy !!

This software is much better than I anticipated! It not only teaches actual vet treatments for illnesses, but also teaches business development/ reality -- like having to either take out a business loan or see X number of patients before you would have enough money for supplies or expansion of facilities. Also, the user cannot progress to more significant pets until they successfully treat the lower animals. They need to get it right so to speak. Also, if they keep a customer in the waiting room too long, the customer walks out which is lost revenue! Terrific game that has kept both my sons focused for hours!

Major bug in game -- don't buy it!

I would not recommend buying this game. There is a fatal error in that various parts of the game do not unlock so you can never beat it. The fields and meadows never open up, and you're stuck there for the rest of the game. Very very frustrating. I've written the company asking for a full refund. We'll see how that goes.

Fun and educational for kids

I bought this for my daughter, for her 8th birthday. I agree with some of the other reviewers, that it is challenging for a young child; however, I have been playing with her, to teach her, and she is catching on. She loves animals and we are both really enjoying this game. I have not become aware of the 'bugs' because she is mainly interested in treating the animals and gets excited when she gets to keep them overnight. The 'vet' functionality of the game works just fine as far as I can tell. Also, my daughter is learning about money planning, and making sure she has the right medicines on hand, so it has been very educational for her. My only complaint is that the instructions are not very detailed - we have had to figure out a lot 'as we go' (such as how to get to town and the various stores there, where to go for water for the overnight animals, and holding down 'shift' to make the vet run), and that's why I only gave the game 4 stars.

The animals lovers dream game!

I got this game from the book fair at my school. I LOVE THIS GAME!! This is the best game I have ever played! I love to have the animals over night on the game. The animals are so cute! ANY animal lover MUST have this game! My parents even play it with me sometimes! It IS weird that the animals and people always look the same...I still like it though! The booklet doesn't come in handy very much. It doesn't tell you that you have to press shift to run and what treatments to give the animal when it's sick. It's still the best game ever!

Great Game, but brief instruction

My daughter, who just turned 10 & I love this game!! The only problem we've had is the riding areas (forest, beach, ect.) never unlock for us to ride in. By the way, you can make your vet run, if you push shift & your directional buttons at the same time, also you can speed up exams & bloodtests' if you push shift after you push the exam or bloodtest button. Another tip, if you are in town at 20:00, you will receive a message to go back home & get ready for the next day. If you then go home your day will be extended until 22:00. It gives you an extra 2 min. if you have a busy clinic, to get extras done. If anyone knows how to unlock the riding areas,please let us know. I have looked everywhere & I can't find the answer.

I read some of these reveiews and am surprised. My 10 year old niece has been playing this for months and just loves it. No problems with the game/levels/upgrades etc... Very educational aspects, as well as fun.

Try it yourself to fairly evaluate.

Very Fun But...

This game caught my eye at best buy and since I love animals, I had to have it!

The installing part was very diffucult for me. My mom had also very trouble installing it and we have a 98. I deleted my other games because we thought we needed room on the hard drive ot something but we didn't and I wasted all the games I worked hard on.

We tried the lap top and it seemed to workng fine at the start but it kept crashing every once in a while. :(

The game is very fun itself.. from what I played anyways... but i'm not too crazy about the graphics. It is a challening game, I agree but we couldn't keep it cause it crashed too much and messed up our computers.

If you want to risk buying this game for that price than go ahead, but my tip is to wait till it's cheaper so even if it didn't work, you would not have lost as much money as we did (19.99)

Thanks for reading :)
