Daycare

I love this app but haven’t been able to send my dog to daycare for over a week. Will this be fixed. My app is up to date

Disappointed.

Rated at least 2 stars because of the positive impact this app had on me, left out the rest of the stars because this app has sadly been semi-abandoned by the team in favor for an AI-based fanfiction chatbot app they’re working on and update constantly. The Discord server for this game is very dead and neglected. I am very disappointed that the creators of a mental health app/game would instead focus their attention on an AI chatbot app, AKA something that takes advantage of mental health and can lead to addiction/psychosis.

Pretty good

They need to update the environment though, manly the garden for me its still snowing when its spring rn (+ the window) 😭 while the rest of the areas like the park etc aren't snowing.. Also just an Idea but I think it'd be more fun if the items u receive from lvling up or wtv u could actually have right away instead of just being added to the shop to buy? Idk that's just my opinion, other than that like I said its a pretty good game & I definitely recommend checking it out. <3 & another idea is adding more toys for the dog to play w/ not just the tennis ball I honestly find the tennis ball kinda boring

The best app ever

It helped me be on task kinda stay a away from my phone but I connected with my frens

I love it!!

I absolutely love this…I don’t know if I can call it a game, it kinda is, but I’ll say app. I have a yellow galgo named Daffodil, and I love him. Some things that I’d love to be included would be able to have more than one pet (maybe even other animals for pets) more breed and fur color options, more of a way to make sure goals actually get done, and maybe more goals too. I absolutely love the app, I want to make sure I’m not just listing things I want or criticizing, complete props to the creators!! For a team of 2, this is absolutely amazing!! I wish you guys the best, and hope you make more games/apps like this, or add onto this. Thank you so much for helping with my mental health in the form of a digital dog (lol)
