 Fun but misleading August 26, 2008
You gotta wonder if the product descibers and the product manufacturers were on the same page. Seven different breeds, mix and match, keep a journal, rewards, etc. all lies! This game starts with you choosing and naming your puppy (And there are about forty breeds to choose from!) and then you guide your puppy through a virtual world according to instructions from others, like, go to Dolphin Coast so we can play. Although other characters talk to you, you have to imagine what your puppy is saying back, to some extent. For example they'll say, "I need some cloth." and your puppy will bark, and they'll say, "Oh, you'll get some for me? Thank you!"
About the plot. As everyone has said, it is about an evil wolf named Ivlet. Naturally, the box neglected to mention this all important fact and made it sound like, "Oh, happy day, la la la, I'll just dress up my puppy and design my village" when it really is so much more than that. You can't "design your village" anyway; what they're referring to is helping to rebuild the village after Ivlet destroyed it; you have absolutely no say in what the building looks like. The only designing you do is planting flowers.
As someone mentioned, this probably would be too violent for a five year old, so maybe you should wait until your child's a little older. However it is extremely mild for a game with a villain (you defeat him by throwing pebbles).
This game can get boring after a while; all you do is run and find people and/or sniff out objects. There is very little variety. Also, at some point the aquarium guy asks you to catch a fish for him in Polar Fields. You apparently have to go to a special dock to be able to catch it. I found the dock and fished for fifteen minutes and I still haven't caught it. Talking of fifteen minutes, there is a really long cutscene near the beginning of the game that takes about that long if you skip the text.
But the worst thing about the game is more of a moral issue. Your puppy is sent by adults into very dangerous situations; although your parents tell you to let the authorities get the Magic Hat back from Ivlet, Beat (Who is supposedly the good side of the magic hat) convinces you to go get it back anyway; worse than that, you are later encouraged by several adults to fight the monster instead of them. The fish the guy at the aquarium wants you to get is to cover up a lie that he'd already caught it himself.
All in all, this is a fun game which can get a bit annoying at times, but don't let your child learn morals from it.

PET DOGZ FOR WII August 18, 2008
THIS GAME IS OKAY, IT LACKS ALOT, BUT WOULD BE OKAY FOR A YOUNG CHILD.
Games for kids July 27, 2008
Bought this game for my daughter but she liked the Catz version better. Disappointed that the dog and cat are exactly the same. I would have only bought one, not both. Still very enjoyable for any child who loves animals. I actually played and did have a good time. Took me about 2 hours to beat the game. Nothing hard but my daughter enjoyed watching. We had a great time together.
 Fun game, especially for the price! June 23, 2008
I got this game primarily because it had a miniature schnauzer available as a breed(!), but I actually find it fun and a great way to utilize Wii gaming without such fast-paced gameplay as I get with Mario Kart Wii, PES 2008, or Guitar Hero III. The graphics are solid, the different locales in this game are expansive, and the tasks are numerous. Also, this game seems to be very similar in style to The Dog Island for the Wii which came out more recently (both from UbiSoft), so I recommend this one if you want to save some $$$ but get a fun-to-play game at a great value...
 Not as described on the game box or the April 12, 2008

I bought this game for my 5 year old daughter. The back of the box described exactly what she likes to do: "choose a puppy and make him cuter with clothing and accessories"; "create a comfortable pet village and guide your lovable bundle of fur through 60 fun adventures"; and "Compete against your friends in mini-games such as racing." Wow is this description ever wrong! I opened the manual and learned the game was actually about defeating an evil wolf (Ivlet) and his evil minion. Through the course of the game "enemy animals are on the way. Ivlet cast an evil spell on the animals in the fields to make them go wild and they will attack you if you get too close to them." Your puppy can actually DIE in this adventure. There is far too much evil, attacking, illness, etc. to make this game fun for a 5 year old girly girl. You can't even dress up your dog until you play the games and earn money to buy clothes - and the first game is "cops and robbers" - again, not suitable for a 5 year old girl. Re-read the product description and look for the mention of the evil wolf. It's not there yet it's the primary mission of the game! I am going to return this game as it is truly not what's advertised.
