If you find yourself in a situation at which you can't or are not allowed to have pets in your house, I recommend this game 100%. It's perfect for others too, especially pet lovers. But especially for YOU, that can't have pets, this game is abosolutely everything that you would have with a real pet.
They need attention, they have personalities, they can be trained, they miss you when you're not there, they receive you happily when you open your computer, they bring a lot of responsibility and so much happiness... Don't waste your time on other pet simulators... I've tried 'em all and this one is the one that TOTALLY rocks... (Besides Dogz1, Dogz2 and 4... 3 isn't that good... not recommended.)

The Best Game of Its Time, in 2002.

Hey, I'm a 16 year old retired Petz player. Back in 1999 I was entered into the Petz 3 PC (petz community) The PC back then was a thriving online relationship between hexers (people who modified petz to make them look like other breeds) breeders, and PKC (Petz Kennel Club, google it) dog showers. It was very popular and had numerous websites, including my own attached into it. In 2002 Petz 5 was introduced. To tell you the truth, us Faithful P3 and P4 PC members weren't the biggest fans. But the Petz community continued to strive on with possibly the best simulated game graphics of its time following The Sims 1.

I remember the PC and the petz 3-5 games being the most amazing things in my life. The game has the ability to pose your pets, raise them, feed them, train them, and breed them. While now a days the graphics are not up to par with nintendogs or The Sims 2 Pets/Unleashed or even the new and improved Petz 1 and 2; this is definately a gaming classic of its time!

Fun

My daughter loves this. There's some reading involved so I have to help her a little. The dogs aren't that cute, that's the only drawback that I can think of. My daughter loves it though so that's perfect for me.

Dogz 5 -gift for grandson

Bought this for my five year old grandson. He initially was enthralled but lost interest fairly quickly. I think part of that was because it was a bit old for him and some of the instructions were a challenge for him to read and understand but part of it was the limitations of the actions. Since it is supposed to simulate "real" pet ownership on some level that was sort of OK. By the time we found instructions on how to put the pet away or get it to perform some action focus was gone.
I would recommend this for an older child though; a seven or eight year old might have become more engaged with the adopted pet and have and easier time then a five year old and an over fifty did. It has some fun activities to do with the pet(s), great play settings like a beach, snow scape, and haunted castle, and quick response time to changes and commands.

OK, well most of the reviews on here do not show Dogz 5's real potential. So, I will give it to you now...
Dogz 5 is, as you may know, a virtual pet game where you can feed, play, breed, and interact with your petz. This is what the game was made to be. But, thanks to some talented petz lovers out there, it has become a whole new world. Many, many sites are out there just for this game, and they offer:

1. Downloadable Toys. You download these off the site, then put them in your toys folder- now your petz can play with tons of new play items!

2. Downloadable Clothes. These are fun! You can download many different kinds of clothes, from party dresses to new bows, and then drag them into your clothes folder so your petz can where them.

3. Downloadable Breedz. This is the best! You can download new breedz, realistic ones that look like their real-life counterparts, or purhaps wierd fantasies like a dragon or monster. I'm sure that almost every dog breed has been hexed by somebody. Here is the site I recomend for breedz:
http://supernova.lokatt.se/

OK, now I will show you what you can DO with your petz. What? You can only feed and play with them? No way! How about some shows? Shows were you compete with real petz and people from all over the world? Sure. All you have to do is find a site that offers shows (will have link below), you read the rules, take a show-pose pic of your pet (many offer examples), and e-mail it. Check back to see the winners! Also, in a show we petz people use points and ribbons and special titles like in the real pet world. OK, we got the shows, what else? Well, there is something very special about this game- the ability to breed and have larger litters. Look through some sites on the bottom of this review, and you'll get the picture. Set up your own kennel/cattery, breed some fine, beautiful petz, then get involved in the petz world by entering shows and contacting other petz fans on their sites to find out how to take litter requests and adopt off your petz. It is a bit confusing at first, but after you figure it out you'll never want to look back! But, of coarse, I need to talk to you about the down sides to the game that other reviews have mentioned. First off, I want you all to know that out of all my time owning Dogz 5, I have never had any bugs other than these:

1. An issue with litters. If I remember correctly (this was a while ago), I would have a litter, only to have my petz game crash. I figured out that it was only that one of the pups had some sort of error, so if I got rid of that file my game would work again. I have no problems with this now.

2. A pug bug. This is just a simple error where when the pug pants, a little red ball is on the end of it's tongue. It's not that big of a deal, to me at least.

3. Also, when I had a litter and the pups grew up, somehow a would have an exact copy of one or more of the litter. So, some of the puppies would have clones. It didn't effect my game, and I found that if I got of Dogz 5 then got back on, the copies would disapear.

Anywho, I sudjest that you get this game, or at least look at one or more sites in this link before you decide: http://breedzfind.lokatt.se/dogz.htm
Look at Supernova!

This game is soooooooo fun! I totally think you should buy Dogz 5! If you don't buy this game, your missing out on alot of fun. I have a cute dog named Daisy. Oh, there's 15 breeds you can pick from. You can adopt as many dogz as you want, but they can run away if you don't treat them well. If you don't wanna play with your dogz, there's 5 fun mini games that you'll enjoy! So trust me, if you buy Dogz 5 you'll never be bored again! SO BUY DOGZ 5 TODAY!!

Ok so I'm 11 1/2. i was 11 when i got this. I actually have petz 5 where you can have both catz and dogz together. anyway it's a great game but you have to be loyal and careful. you have to make sure you play every day or every other day to feed your petz and play games with them. You have to be careful blc... well here's my story. I got petz without reading any reviewz. 1st mistake. You are allowed to breed puppies and i would do this once every 2 months b/c 2 months is a year for petz. the puppiez are soo cute. only problem is that it doesn't state is that your petz don't die. now it's sad for petz to die but it is very sad when you have 16-18 petz and can't take care of them. Lastly when they run-away b/c they were neglected it says to check the board in the adoption center. well you can just forget about the board cause your petz are never coming back and the board never has anything on it. so don't breed alot. the games are fun for a bit but it's hard to get your petz where you want them to go. you don't win coins or anything. I wrote this b'c i thought all you kids out there should know about this game before you get it. if your a mom or dad reading this b/c your kid wants it get your kid here to see this review. another option is sims 2 petz which i can't have until i'm like 16 but it seems good. though i gotta check the REVIEWZ!

Cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is cool! I got a hexer from Magic Kennels and Cattery. Now I can make petz cool colors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game is ,well um........ FUN!FUN!FUN! There are 15 breeds. The hosts are anoying the heck outta me! To get rid of them click options at the top of the screen. Then hit general options and click NO HOSTS. Breeding is fun I have two pregnant Petz now(Both are hexed)!!! To breed petz use love potion and prefume plus the music box. Tip: Play Scarab crunch to win these things. Overall this game is AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
