This game is really entertaining. The "voices" of the cats and dogs on the computer are simply realistic; and there is no need for a pooper-scooper! The best thing is, you can take care of your pet, leave on a vacation for a few days, start up the program, and the game will not go on without you! And better yet, there is no allergy, or cat fur, or smelly doggy breath aorund the house. Really well done. My daughter loves it.
The Perfect Kidz Game!

If you are a kid, and your parents won't let you have a pet, then this is the perfect game 4 you! With the cutest pets, awesome graphics, and cool features, this is definately a good buy.
Graphics-8/10: This game's graphics have really improved since Dogz 1 and the rest of the series. And the dogz look more real than ever. And now some of the themes are 3-D.
Sound-6/10: Although the barks, purrs, and meows all sound pretty realistic, I still think that there could be more sound. But I must say, the sound is decent for a computer game.
Responsibilty-9/10: If you are a parent, then I must say that this game will teach your child you to take care of a pet. Although you have no pooper-scoopers and dirty pets, this game still teaches responsibility. Yo have to feed, play, and love your pet, or else it will run away-A good lesson!
Overall-10/10: This game is basically the best computer game ever made. But that's just my opinion. It may seem boring at first, but soon you will become addicted. I got Dogz 1 when I was 5, and I am now 11. And no, I am not sick of the series!

I recommend that any person that likes animals should buy this game. But I also think that you might want to try Petz 4 as well. It offers some features that never made the cut for Petz 5. Here are the Pro's and Con's of both games;
Petz 5 Pro's
-You can have up to four puppyz/kittenz per litter
-You can customize the carrying case
-There are mini-games
-There is a place to bathe your petz
-There are more breedz in the Adoption Centre
Petz 5 Con's
-When your petz has babies, you are restricted to the Nursery, and no other petz can come out while you have the mother out
-The tic-tac-toe game is quite frustrating
-There is no Toy Closet, you must find all items in the game, and if you don't collect the items from the play-scenes when you load the game for the first time, it may take a while to obtain them
-Some items are really hard to obtain, and need repeative use of a mini-game to get, such as the love potion(used to make your petz fall in love)
Petz 4 Pro's
-There is a Toy Closet where all of the items in the game are stored
-When your petz have babies, you are not required to keep the in the Nursery until they mature
-Comes with two extra breedz that do not come with Petz 5: The Pig(Dogz 4) and the Rabbit(Catz 4)
Petz 4 Con's
-Petz can only have one puppyz/kittenz per litter
-Pigz and Rabbitz are spayed/neutered
-Not as many breedz
Both games are customizable, but in order to customize breedz, you need to have some programming skills(experience with either Hex Workshop or Res Hack). I am still in the process of learning to edit breedz! There are many good sites that offer breedz and toyz that they have hexed (edited using either Hex Workshop or Res Hack) and have put up for download so that you can put them into your game. There are also sites with tutorials for how to customize your own breedz and toyz. There is even a site or two that offer downloadable programs to edit breed and toy files. All in all, I think that both games are worth buying!
It's perfect!

This game is a perfect game for anyone who loves pets (aka petz) When me and my sister got it for x-mas we installed it quick and easy. It was so fun making our own breeds. We made some really cute catz and some really cute dogz! You should buy this game if you don't have any pets or if you would just like to have lots of fun! Here's what I'll have to say to you, if you don't buy this game, you're missin' out on LOADS of fun!

I have twin daughters, 11 years old. I have bought them a great number of computer games over the years. This game has brought them more enjoyment than all the others combined.
The graphics are cute, although not overwhelmingly so by any means. The intertactivity is superb, and there are many cute features.
I would suggest this for any child who loves animals, especially those that do not have dogs or cats. This was the best $20 I ever spent on them as far as entertainment value.
I only wish they would come out with a 6th version. I would buy it at 5 times the cost.
Love it!

This game is the best game i have ever gotten! I've had this game for a while now but it's still so much fun! I think it's the best game out of all the petz games. You get to have dogz and catz! There is lots of great items in this game too. The newborns that you can breed are sooo cute! You should definately get this game! I don't know why those other people who rated it one star don't like. It's fantastic! You should definately get this game!
