 TIPS:
As pets come in the store they will ask to be taken to certain stations in
order to get a variety of services done. Those services have to be done in
the order in which they are listed. You can click on several actions in a
row to get the job done faster. The faster you are the more money you will
earn.
Each level is different so what works in one may not work in another. In
some instances it is best to take care of animals as they come in,
especially in the levels in which you were not able to buy any upgrades.
That would usually happen on the first level of a new shop.
At times it is best to wait and let a few animals come in before you decide
which ones to take first. In levels in which the Poodles appear take them
ahead of everybody else. In levels in which you do not have your partners
working with you, do not buy the Playpen Stations since it is one more thing
for you to do in those rounds.
In theory having three stations is better than two but not in this case. It
is not a good idea because when you buy 3 stations of one kind you will lose
too many opportunities to make bonuses. When you buy additional stations
designate them in a way that will be easiest for you to place the animals in
the same spot all the time.
We always designated one station throughout the whole game to one animal.
The first station would always be for cats and the second one for dogs. We
never deviated from this formula since it made it really easy to remember
where each animal went.
There are a variety of ways to earn bonuses in this game that will help up
your score. You can earn a Bonus Flag when you place the same type of animal
on the same station several times in a row. Flags that have larger amounts
next to them earn larger bonuses.
If a pet has 5 full hearts at check-out you will earn a Full Heart Bonus. To
get a last minute Full Heart Bonus give a pet a treat as they are on the
last station to boost their heart. .
Animals will ask to go to the Playpen Station when they have 5 full hearts,
which will earn you extra money. You can also earn flag bonuses when you
place the same type of animal in the same Playpen each time. This is why
it's good to always purchase 2 Playpens at the same time. If you don't, you
will minimize the amount of swap and flag bonuses you can earn.
Turning on the jukebox at just the right time can give several pets a heart
boost in one shot. Turn it on when you have the most pets on several
stations and the jukebox will give each pet on the floor 2 additional
hearts.
The jukebox can be turned on even if you have an animal in your hand. It
needs to recharge after each use, keep an eye out for when it's ready so you
can use it often.
Swapping bonuses are made when you take an animal and swap it with another
animal of the same kind. The swap can be performed at any station and it can
allow you to rack up major points in a level. In levels in which you only
have one type of animal coming in is a great way to make huge swapping, flag
and full heart bonuses.
In some levels you will only have either all cats or all dogs coming in.
Always remember to keep them in one station only at all times in order to
achieve a high score. It can be done; you just have to prioritize which ones
to take first and which ones to leave in line.
There are 5 locations in the game and with every new shop you will have to
start from scratch with decorations and upgrades. Always try to have 2
stations of each kind as soon as they become available. Save your money and
upgrade all your stations at the same time, that way they are all operating
at the same speed. You do not want one station running faster than others if
you can help it.
There are many ways to beat the game and a lot of upgrades that will help
you do so. Just because a lot of upgrades are offered does not mean that you
have to use or buy them all. If you want to keep your bonuses going we do
not recommend buying a third station, two is the best number to have. We
only bought the massage table once because it was too easy to forget that
the pets were there and we would eventually lose them.
Go to the podium often - especially right before you take a customer to the
floor. If you leave the podium before it is fully activated it will not
boost hearts. You will have to wait for it to recharge before you can use it
again.
While you're on the podium take that opportunity and look around the room
for your next move. It will give you time to look around the room and see
who should go next.
On certain levels your partner will be out sick and you will have to do
extra work. In those instances you are going to be responsible for taking
all the pets to the exit counter. In these levels it can be hard to remember
to go to the exit counter. Make a conscious effort to remember or you will
lose a lot of points and pets.
Even though you can have the fastest machines it does not mean that all dogs
go through them at the same speed. You will notice that some animals take
longer than others. Each animal has different speeds in which they go
through services and how long they are willing to wait in line.
In order to play the best game possible look at the help section in the game
and learn what each pet looks like and what their temperament is. It will
help you in prioritizing which animals to pick up first.
The Poodles and the Siamese cats are the most impatient animals of all.
However, they are fast when they are at stations so they will not take too
much time while there. Placing slow animals ahead of them may cause the
Siamese cats and the Poodles to get angry and leave.
Some dogs are noisy and they bother some of the other pets around them
causing them to lose patience faster than normal. Try not to leave noisy
dogs at one station too long. Dogs that are noisy are the Shih Tzus and the
Yorkshire Terriers.
The Persian cat and the Dachshund dog have the most patience in line of all
the animals but they take a very long time at stations. It is best to leave
them in line as long as possible and take care of others ahead of them. Give
them a treat while in line or stand at the podium to give them a heart
boost.
It is important not to leave certain animals waiting for too long. If you
let them lose too much patience they will get angry and leave. Every time a
pet leaves your shop it can cost between $100 - $500, which greatly affects
your score. The higher you go on levels the more it costs you when each pet
leaves.
You can restart a level because you either failed a level or you just want
to try for a higher score. If you think you know where you went wrong you
should change your upgrades. If you think your workers were too slow you can
upgrade the speed of your partners. If too many pets were leaving because
they were impatient you should consider buying a jukebox, a podium or some
treats.
At times it can be confusing as to which type of animal you are picking up.
Some dogs have long hair and they could easily be confused with a cat. There
are two things you can do so that you do not mix them up. One, you can look
at the help section and familiarize yourself with the different breeds. Two,
if you're playing with the sound on, each pet you pick up will either bark
or meow.
You should buy treats for your pets as soon as they become available; they
are inexpensive so buy them early on. Treats can be given to pets while they
wait in line or at any station. If you try and give a treat to a pet and
they leave before you get there, the treat will be there for the next pet
that arrives at that station.
If you have 2 cats left that are going to the same station, one needs a cut
and a ribbon and the other one just needs a ribbon. Choose the one that
needs both services first so you can make a swap bonus once the first one is
done.
If you're feeling overwhelmed pause the game and you can still see a large
part of the screen. You will be able to make a better assessment of what
your next move should be.
You can drop a pet at a station that is not theirs and let them wait there
until you're ready to get them. At times you will pick up a pet by accident,
you can take them to a station that they did not request for a very short
period of time. Doing so will not mess up your flag bonuses as long as it is
a station that they did not request.
