This is a really cool game. In this game you are like a vet. First you make your person and your pet. Then people come with their pets and you have to diagnose them. You have to cure them and take care of them. You also have to take care of your self too. At the begining it is a little bit hard and confusing but better when you get the hang of it.

AWESOME GAME!!!

I love this game but it can get boring if you are playing it non stop.

When you first start oput the game you create your person and your pet.

You can change your person's hair,shirt,pants/skirt,etc.

With your pet you can change it's fur,size,etc.

Patients come to house so you can treat their pets to get money.

GET THE GAME!!!

Great game!!! :-) Two thumbs WAY up!

Okay, after reading the Amazon reviews (mostly negative) I was pretty much turned off by the game. But, when I went to the store yesterday, planning to buy Sims 2 for DS, they didnt have it, so I crossed my fingers and settled for Sims 2 Pets...great decision!
I do agree that this game is very different than the PC version of Sims 2 Pets, but definitely not in a bad way. You are a veterinarian, and you first name yourself, dress yourself (not as many choices as in the PC version, but it's okay) and make your pet.

You start off in a small country home with a living room / kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, garage area (where you can play and train your pet), examination room, and a foyer. You dont have much time between working the veterinary office and sleeping - a few minutes, Sim time, which is about 5 seconds, because it automatically puts you to bed at closing time, 8:00pm. Your vet opens at 8am, though, and you wake up at 7:55, so it's not a lot of time to take a shower, use the restroom, and cook yourself some fried eggs.
When you examine pets that patients bring in, you first have to raise their "heart" bar, so they are happy, by petting them. Then, you take their temperature, comb their fur for fleas, and possibly give them a shot of medicine, or a snack. Their are not many illnesses" fleas, flu, worms, swallowed foreign object (which you can detect if you have an X-Ray Machine, which you have to buy), and if their owners say they're dirty or they smell bad, or they are ugly in need of a makeover.
If a pet has the flu, you have to buy flu shots from the internet. You give the pet one flu shot per day until it is healthy again. If a pet has fleas, you can buy Flea Shampoo off the internet and bathe it using the shampoo every day until it is healthy. If the pet has worms (which you realize if you give it a snack during examination), you can buy "Worms-B-Gone" from the discount store, and lots of other choices of food to get rid of worms.
When you diagnose the pet, the owner will ask you when he/she should pick it up...there is a choice of One Day, Three Days, or Five days. If the pet is just dirty, hungry, or in need of a makeover, one day is a good choice. Three-Five days is if the pet has the flu, fleas, worms, and Five Days if it has a swallowed foreign object or a broken bone.
Like the Sims 2, you can decorate your house, deleting objects, adding objects, and arranging things. You can buy lots of interactive things, like a wardrobe, vanity, sewing machine...speaking of sewing machine...
A sewing machine is a great long-term savings item. It is $1000 simoleons, and you can actually sew your own clothes for dogs/cats. Online, you can buy patterns for outfits, and it will tell you what materials you need, ie: cotton, buttons, clasps, nylon thread, etc. You buy the items, and click the sewing machine. Pick a pattern, and the shape of the clothing piece will show up. You have to follow the edge of the shape with the stylus, and if you dont make a mistake, you get to use that piece of clothing! But, if you make a mistake, you fail, and you're out $15-$30 for the lost materials.
You can also move into one of three bigger houses, if you have enough money. A the smallest houses is $5,000, the medium sized one is $12,000, and the largest one is $20,000. I have not moved yet, but I am working on it. When you move, all of your furniture goes into storage, so it would be a bit of a hassle once you move in, in my opinion.
Some reviews say there is no socializing envolved in Sims 2 Pets for DS...yes there is! First off, you can socialize with patients, choosing things like "greet", "joke", etc. Also, when you go to the park, you see other people and their dogs/cats there, and you can choose from a broader plethura of choices - greet, joke, gossip, praise pet, insult pet, and one flirty choice, which I choose not to use, LOL.
Well, off to play SIMS 2 PETS for NINTENDO DS. I reccomend this to anyone and everyone out there with a spare thirty dollars! :-)

This is a great game for all ages. Even 30year olds. It's fun and shines light on the aspects of life. You have something that tells you what your body needs. (Like Food, and rest.) This game is so good that I would recommend it to my worst enemy. The only thing is you have to read the talk bubbles. The Sims speak in their Sim blab. So, no you're not hitting the wrong languagh button. They makers of Sims games have outdone themselves again.

Good game for kids

My daughter wanted this game more than any other for Christmas so I bought it for her. She loves it. She plays it often and it's not to difficult for her. She is 7 years-old, so I would reccommend this game for kids around her age. If your child loves to play the Sims games, as mine always does, they will enjoy Sims 2 Pets.

So Fun!

This expansion pack is great! It's nice to actually have dogs around while you hear constant barking, instead of just hearing it and seeing no dogs lol! There are some draw backs though. It does make it a little more difficult to manage your sims activities as you have to include the animals. Also you have no control over what the pets do, only their interaction with the sims, and last but not least, when all the rest of your family is sleep and your time has not speeded up, trust that the family furball is up and running around somewhere. I forgot all about them and was trying to figure out ok who is still up that the time hasn't speeded up, then I see this little black thing running down the steps, oh yeah the cat is up and running around. But otherwise, the expansion pack is great. Wish they had a few more toys for the pets, or a better selection of fish and birds.

It's good but I'm confused!

It's true I'm lost in this game! How/ Where to you buy medichation stuff for the pets!? I look and I lost 2,ooo dollars buying the wrong thing! ( not the game.)Also how do you cook! My girl faints alot but then I get ok and she likes it a little. Still the game is fun. It's so funny when your person faints when she eats because it is so bad. The animals are adorable to look at. They always cry if you take care of them. All animals do it in real life. But if you pet the animal it will bond with you. At first you'll probely hate it but you have to get to know this game. Now I'm playing it and I'm gettin better. This is not a bad game. It has no burglers or anything creepy at night and there is no violience. I'm not aloud to get this game for the computer because my dad does not want to install it ( Sims 1 took 2 hours to install!) I'm glad I got this game it is fun. Your people are very picky and always need somthing. Also talking to other people is so much easier then in the computer game. There is no flirting in this game so it is not in appropriate. Well I said to much already so if you are ready for patients time and hard working this is the game for you!
