If you've played Dogz/Catz 4, you'll understand how much fun this game is. You can breed your Petz, enter them in Showz, and teach them tricks. Now that Petz 5 is coming out, everyone that has played Petz is excited. Now, there are day and night cycles, weather effects, petz have litterz up to 4 kittens/puppies, and there are five new breeds! What are the new breeds? Well, for sure are Pugz and Papillonz for the Dogz, but no word yet on Catz. There is a posibility that another Dog might be Colliez. Of course, there will also be Mini-Games and more toys and clothes and playscenes. Currently, there is a really nice playscene out of the "Grooming Palor", now you can bathe your Petz! I highly reccomend you buy this game. Visit my petz site, ... to check out some of my Dogz and adoptions, and go to Petz.com to see updates! Thanks, hope you have a wonderful time with Petz 5!

This game rocks!!!!!!!!!

I'll admit it, I was a bit iffy about this one. I figured that Dogz 5 couldn't be THAT much better than Dogz 4... but guess what? It is!
Here there's all new breedz such as pugz, golden retrieverz, papillionz, etc. And this cool stuff like mini-games- I love the agility one... sooo cool! Then, when your dogz breed, you don't have to take tons of time to make the litterz- they already have them! Sometimes you get only 2 pupz but hey it's better than one, right?
I absolutely LOVE this game and I'm working on an all new Dogz 5 website for it called... Wooferz Kennelz!...

I have bee a petz fan for a long time. The biggest changes in dogz 5 is the Litterz. The petz in earlier editions could only have one puppy. Also The mini game where you play games with your petz and earn toyz if you win. To find out more about petz the new breedz and everything else go to The Offical Petz Website: www.petz.com

I'm one of the drawing winners of Dogz5, so I have a copy of it even though it hasn't been shipped out yet, here's some info about the new software. Of course for most of us who have previously played Petz Software the most important thing about Petz5 is the compatibility with Windows 200, and Windows XP, No more freezing and overly fast animation. There is 24 bit in Petz 5, the Playscenes are slightly different, And of course there is the 4 new mini games and the new breedz. One of the most suprising things I noticed about Petz5 is there is NO TOYROOM, you get different toys from different playscenes. However the Petz inventory has a scroller to hold whatever you need. Some of the new toys include a scarecrow, a nightlight, a hummingbird feeder, a ghostbox, Bakon Treats ect. There is also more outfits, a few of the older ones were removed or altered. I just recieved the game maybe 20 minutes ago so I'm not sure on everything yet!, I hope this helps somewhat to New and Old Players. ^^;

BEST Game Ever!!!

I have played petz4 for about three years and it is still alot of fun to play! In petz4 there are Bulldogs, chihuahuas, dachshunds, dalmations, great danes, labradors, mutts, poodles, scotties, and sheepdogs! Petz5 will be adding the pug, golden retriever, papilion, german shepered, and jack russel. But dont worry, you do not need petz4 to get petz5.
There are ALOT of new toys in petz5 and you have to learn games to get them all. Your petz start as puppies and grow to adults. Once they are adults your petz can fall in love and have a litter of 1-4 puppies. Each puppie in the litter is unique which makes the game even more fun! It is like having a new house because there are so many rooms to go to in the house and then you can also travel places with your petz. But if you want to see pictures of the game go to petz...

an improvement, but still needs some work

As a big petz fan, I feel I can give a well-informed review of the game based on my years of playing with them, breeding, owning sites, hexing etc. Here's my down-low on the game:

The first thing I noticed about it was that in the manual it says "when you cheat with your computer's calendar to speed up the birth of your Puppyz, the mother will become stuck in her pregnancy status. If this happens, there is no way to fix it! Be patient, don't do it!" This seems pretty threatening, but I still have been able to time-forward without having to deal with stuck pregnancies.

There is no longer the Playpen, the Clothes or Toy Closet. The Salon had basically taken over the Clothes Closet. The supply shelf now acts like the Toy Closet, but you will have to do a lot of hunting around in the game to get all the toys. When you win the mini games, you are rewarded with a new toy. I think thats both a positive and a negative. Its positive because you want to spend more time in the game playing to win toys, but negative because when you want a certain toy, it may not be available. As for the Playpen, I wish they wouldn't have taken it out. I don't know about anyone else, but I used it basically as my breeding room because they were no distractions.

The new breeds are cool, but I found that the Golden Retriever has a major problem with the sleepy syndrome. When I was in the adoption center, almost every one of them that I took out had the syndrome. I guess they chose not to fix that bug from the last versions.

The mini games are fun, but there are some problems with them too. In the agility game, I could not get my dogz to walk full length of the catwalk, all they did was sit there. Also, in the gopher tic-tac-toe, its hard to get your pet to fall on the right spot...it will often drop them on a different square than you wanted it to. I think the easiest game is in Arabia, so if you want to win some toys quickly, I suggest going there first.

I guess I've been spending time talking about the negatives, but the game is good overall. The best feature is definitely the litters. It makes a breeders work so much easier :)

Thats my review...I give it three and a half stars out of five overall. Hopefully Ubisoft will get some of our improvement suggestions and add a patch so that it will become a five star game.

It has it's up and downs

Dogz is, without a doubt, one of the neatest computer games ever made. I was very excited with the release of Dogz 5, though I was slightly disappointed when I got the game.

The mini games are okay, but at first confusing. Also, you have to WIN your toys. I have played one of the easiest mini game, a game where you basically swung you're Dogz around to kill the scarabs, and have gotten the same toy over and over and over (and so on). Very rarely do I ever get a new toy. Some important items come with the carrying case (also, you now have your toys in the carrying case, which I think is quite handy. The worst mini game is the Tic-Tac-Toe one. Its very hard to get you're Dogz to land exactly where you want it to. I have to place my Dogz one space below where I want the mark to be.

The Dogz breeds are cool, except for the German shepherd. It, with all due respect to the makers of Petz, looks like someone squeezed its muzzle, enlarging its head. It has a huge head. And it looks like it is angry, because of its "eyebrows". The Papillion is cute, but is very hard to train. They jump at the treat, beg, and will not do the trick! I have tried to get my Papillion (on Dogz) to sit for thirty minutes, and I got nowhere.

The pet scenes are cool. The bath in the salon [was bad] though. Its the same as putting your Dogz on a chair, it doesn't clean they or anything. The Asian Temple was the worst of the play scenes, mostly because it's basically just a room with a big monkey in it. The monkey is for a mini game, but that's about it.

I hope this review helps!
