### 4/5 — Pet shop

*2022-05-23, version 1.08*

I had this app it was called pet shop girl you match three of the animals to fill the orders in I really miss that one I was hoping they would upgrade that one so I could get it back on my phone thank you karen

### 5/5 — So cute!

*2021-11-19*

Love this game!

### 4/5 — Recommended if you like some ads

*2020-06-08*

I highly recommend this game to children to learn the names of animals and feel like they own a pet shop. But after each day ( in the game) after you choose your upgrade, there’s sometimes an ad that will pop up and I wonder why? There should be ads bc it takes the player to loose their focus on YOUR game and if they like the ad they might download that game and loose focus on yours. Anyway I just had some questions about the ads and if maybe you take them out?? Just to help ur game and keep everyone’s focus on it!! ( also I love the animals!!)

**Developer response:** Hi Blake and Gwen, we're so glad you're enjoying our little game!  You're absolutely right about the ads, unfortunately the ads are how we can make the game free and still earn a little money to pay for our next game.  You can turn off the ads if you like, but it costs $0.99 to do so.  Hopefully you can still enjoy playing even with the occasional interruption.
