It is super fun! I kinda hey should put in new animals but still, super fun! A problem is, you can't delete an animal's profile. I mean what if you healed the animal, than you'd need to delete an animals profile. But, it is SO MUCH FUN!!! ### 5/5 — LOVE IT WORTH IT *2018-06-19, version 2.0* I love this game science I love Animals pls make more games like this and I want to be a vet so this helps but can you pls make the pen on the x Ray stay pls ### 5/5 — Awesome game 🤩🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 *2018-01-14* I may be older but I’m still a kid and I think this game is for any ages. Me myself has a ton of stuffed animals so I can play this all the time. I want to be a vet so this is really cool. I would suggest that there are more types of animals maybe lizards dragons fish alpaca. I would also like some more things to do with the animals idk what but some more things. Also I have a little bug when I try to pick a different month ( for the age ) for example when it’s January and I want to pick June I’ll go to June but it will bring me right back to January. THANKS KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 🦔🐅🐩🐈🐑🦒🐳🦖🦎🦐🦀 **Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback. We'll look into the date issue and also what kind of animals to add next. Stay tuned. ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-06-13* I love this game so much. It's so awesome. I may be in middle school, but this is for all ages ! I just have one suggestion, maybe there could be a way to alter the bone structure so I could circle an actual broken bone? Also maybe there could be more animals like foxes, possums, buffalo, or maybe an option to create an animal category and add it? Or just an "other" category for weird stuffies ? It's just I have a lot of very strange stuffed animals, and I can't take care of them on here. Other than that, perfect in every way. One billion stars. It's awesone. **Developer response:** Great ideas. We are working on some changes and new animals this year, so stay tuned. And thank you! ### 5/5 — Please oh please I need this *2016-07-25* I know their are some animals not on this game but please make more at least fish,foxes,and turtles PLEASE DO IT AND ADD MORE PLEASE but besides that the part we have is good BUT PLEASE ADD MORE!!!!! **Developer response:** We hear you and are working on it. Stay tuned and thanks! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-03-23* Great game! My kids love taking turns being the doctor and giving the plushies of the house check ups. Thank you pretendasourus, we couldn't have asked for a better game. **Developer response:** We appreciate your kind words, thank you! ### 5/5 — A-M-A-Z-I-N-G *2015-10-05, version 2.0* Great but one problem and please listen, I know a lot and I mean a lot of people who create apps they ignore the customers and think of something but it is actually worse. So. Listen. Please take to note that this app is great awesome really but there needs to be a diagnosis or something because all you do is take notes and it is all better.That is all I have to say, sorry for your time and G'Day. ### 5/5 — Creative Play! *2015-07-17* Tired of apps that are more or less brain-sugar? Try Dr. PetPlay. It’s a rocking great app that gets kids to use their imaginations. It’s the best of a non-existent app category called something like “Apps that Enhance Rather Than Replace Play”. ### 5/5 — Options *2015-05-25, version 1.2.1* There needs to be a spot for diagnoses and there needs to be a variety or option of animals.😄 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t like it *2020-03-22* Please please please can you make it so you can diagnose the animals then you can fix the problems. ### 1/5 — Needs more features *2016-03-07* Needs more items and Features. **Developer response:** We're working on adding more animals. Stay tuned. ### 1/5 — No Diagnosis :( *2013-12-14, version 1.0.0* This is really lame. I thought that after taking a photo of your stuffed toy and entering the information it would come up with a diagnosis. All it is is a fancy way of documenting what toys your child has. Boring. ### 2/5 — Pas trés don *2020-06-28, version 2.1.0* Ces une donne ap mais il manque des animaux Si vous rajouter 3 animaux je seré contante ### 3/5 — Fun…but could use some changes *2022-04-03* Me and my brother have a lot of fun using this app with our stuff animals. We like to give them check ups and diagnose them with things. It is truly very fun. But the main reason why I am giving this app a three star review is because of the options. For the type of animal the options are very limited. Me and my brother like playing with other kinds of animals than just the 8 options. And we have say the otter is a bunny or the turtle is an elephant. It is very annoying and I feel like this app would be way more convenient if we had more options or if we could create more options. But other than that, this app is fun for kids like me who likes to play with there stuff animals. Please take my idea into consideration. And then that is my review so by. ### 3/5 — Help get photos *2019-01-13* I followed the message to give camera permissions but the only settings are Location and siri settings please help **Developer response:** Hi there. Thanks for letting us know about the camera issue. We have fixed it, so all you need to do it update the app. If you like it, please consider re-rating the app. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Real life fun! *2024-01-21* You write down what is wrong with the animal, than heal it with your own vet tools. It is super fun! However, there aren’t many animal choices. Like there’s two kinds of dinosaurs but nothing for aquatic animals??? Like, what? But yea I really enjoyed this when I way younger. And now it serves as a place to write down which stuffed animals I will sell and which ones I will keep. So I just use it for organizing now. Really fun app. ### 4/5 — This Game is cool *2019-08-08* This Game is really fun. And it is a good starter for learning how to be a vet. I love playing it with my stuffed animals and friends.I think it might be one of my most favorite games ever! ### 4/5 — Can you add a bearded dragon, please? *2018-03-04* Oh my heavens! I am so excited about this app! We are our turning our kindergarten house center into a veterinary office! We have a pet bearded dragon in our class and it would be awesome if you added this! **Developer response:** We hear you and are working on adding more animals this year. Stay tuned. So glad you like the app. ### 4/5 — Great app for little Vets in training! *2015-06-30* My 5 year old loves this app. It's wonderful being able to take photos of her favourite toys and make them her patients. The only improvement I would ask for is a screen that shows all her patients, rather than having to go into each category ie. Cats, dogs, rabbits etc ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Come to my dinosaur shelter! *2024-09-10* I love dinosaurs so much! Love the app! T. rex yay! Please add triceratops and stegosaurus and velociraptor and dilpasauras! ### 5/5 — Just 5 stars *2024-06-22, version 2.2.0* All I have to say is, it’s perfect! Definitely worth your money! ### 5/5 — It’s very good but in one part, it’s a little off *2023-04-24* So I have a dog I was doing the pet play on her now it’s a real dog so I got to be extra careful, but when it was saying is she is barking and . wagging her tail it says is she barking and wagging his tail but besides that it’s really cool and for everybody who is reading this right now for review of Dr. PetPlay, I’d say buy it. It’s really cool for children to experiment and play with doctors things and see that there’s not really anything to be afraid of so overall I think it’s a great Game and if you’re looking for something to help your child do not be afraid of the doctor I think this is the app. Also it’s very fun and gives a lot of experience and says to kids there’s really nothing to be afraid of here so thanks for looking at my review and just so you know I am a kid but it’s I think it’s very fun. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2022-05-21, version 2.2.0* What A Good App! I Love Playing This And This App Is Perfect For Me Because When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Vet! Keep Up The Hard Work! ### 5/5 — So fun to play *2022-01-04* 🎋🍂🐚 ### 5/5 — This app adds life to talk and play! *2021-05-19* As the Director of a mobile family engagement non-profit, I have been using and recommending Dr PetPlay to families for years. It is awesome! The app facilitates children to role play real vets by observing and documenting the treatment of their pretend pets! The app makes it simple and necessary for users to add words to their play. It is an excellent play prompt to help kids manipulate graphs, draw, write and speak while they play. What an amazing brain boost, and every child or adult I have seen use the app is completely interested. What a way to encourage math and science talk while exploring the role of a real scientist or health hero! ### 5/5 — Please read *2020-12-31* Hi l am 9 this game is amazing it’s worth more than it is thank you who ever made this game thank you it’s amazing🐈🐩🐏🐑🦃🐾🐾🐉🐾🦝so thank you!!! ### 5/5 — I have an idea *2020-12-26, version 2.1.0* This game is really good and worth it, but I think it would be even better if there was more animals like, a sloth, panda or snake. ### 5/5 — Great app but *2020-07-07* It is a great app and all but I don’t think it has enough animals like foxes and woods animals all kinds, if you could add a few more at least please make foxes one of them!🥺 Or maybe you can make a option to create an animal option if someone wants to. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2020-07-06* I love animals it is a great way to work with them!!! But you have to buy all the animals. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
