### 4/5 — Love this sim

*2026-08-17, version 3.0*

This is a really fun simulator, and this is probably one of the best ones that Gluten Free Games has made! I love dogs and if you do too, and want to experience the life of one, then get this simulator. Although I would really enjoy it even more if you were able to go into houses, and yes, I do know that gluten free games stopped years ago, but maybe someone can remake it so you can go into houses houses and have more owners

### 3/5 — Bug

*2026-07-21, version 3.0*

There is a bug when fighting the wolf boss where it just closes the app it’s really annoying

### 3/5 — We need more dogs

*2026-05-24, version 3.0*

First there is no Akita and husky and I only have those two breeds and there are no toy poodle

### 3/5 — It good but,

*2026-04-18, version 3.0*

I really love this game and all, but at one home site there’s a drive able car and when you get out of it, it sends you under the map and I can’t get out so pls fix that and pls make more amazing games!

### 2/5 — Problem

*2026-01-26, version 3.0*

I just bought this game, I have both my Great Dane and German shepherd leveled up to level five and can’t get no other dogs to join the pack. I love these games but I’m super disappointed with this game. Can yall please fix this and I will leave an amazing review

### 3/5 — Könnte besser sein …

*2025-09-21*

Naja das Spiel ist gut aber ich komme in dieses eine  ? Nicht rein was das Haus ist und da sind auch immer so tote SChlangen drin das finde ich ein bisschen eklig aber ansonsten gut aber es wäre auch gut wenn es mal neu Hunderassen geben würde zum Beispiel wie den   Baset Hound oder den Jack Russel oder so halt was ähliches wie Husky Liebe Grüße 🩷🌸

### 4/5 — One thing

*2025-07-21, version 3.0*

This game is great except that I can’t figure out how to live with a human. HELP

### 2/5 — Even more bugs with update…

*2025-06-20, version 3.0*

Fix the pet toys, we can’t play with them anymore…

### 5/5 — Glitchy but very great

*2025-05-27, version 3.0*

It is very cool because it has no ads and has more animals than the original dog simulator. But, it does need dachshunds because we have a dachshund called Stanley. And I do have another suggestion. It’s not about more dogs being added. Are you ready? MAKE THE BOSSES BE EXTINCT ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!! Instead of a wolf, you could have added a dire wolf. And instead of a bear you could have added cave bear.
Finally make the cougar be eastern cougar.

### 5/5 — Great game! (Tips)

*2025-05-11, version 3.0*

This game is great. If you want a good dog simulator game get this one. It’s worth the money. Here are some tips to level up. 1. Go to the house home and find the skateboard. Go to the skateboard park and play around. It has leveled me up very fast. (Btw when you level up you can’t use the skateboard so get off then back on)2. Do tasks given. Make sure to use the dog that it says is the mission. 3. For bosses make sure you have another pack mate. Run in circles when the boss attacks. When you run out of energy don’t worry. If you have full health when it happens you will survive and have energy fill up 4. Look for the dog walker boss. When you see the small walls surrounding the grassy area hop in the area. You can fight enemies in there. You can also get pack mates. 5. Go to the cat boss. In that area fight enemies there. 6. If you see a chest get them.

### 4/5 — Great game but please get rid of snakes

*2025-04-24, version 3.0*

It’s a great game but please get rid of the snakes!!!!! And add in a cockapoo! I have a dog called Teddy and they are  wonderful dog breeds.

### 5/5 — Mary & Padawan's Stray Story: A Ultimate Dog Simulator Story

*2025-04-02, version 3.0*

Padawan, a male Great Dane dog ventures off as stray. Padawan was abandoned as a young puppy. Mary, a female Great Dane dog was trained as a Indoor House Family Pet for a couple of years until she was at least 3 years old. The two got kicked out of their homes because they were getting too big! ‘’Fellow!'' Mary barked to her stepbrother. ''Fellow, are we the same breed?'' ''No, we are step siblings. That means we aren't part of the same family.'' Fellow, her older stepbrother answered. She was barking. Unfortunately, her owners had to just get rid of her. And so did the owners of Padawan. He was only 3 years old (Which is human years for 25 in animal years) when he met Mary. Teh, a young friend of Padawan, was a German Shepherd. Teh had a wife named Zoey.

### 4/5 — BEST! GAME! EVER!

*2025-03-27, version 3.0*

This is one of the best animal simulators I have ever played. But I have some ideas about how to make the game even more awesome! The woman in the house where you live seemed a bit robotic 🤖🤖🤖 maybe you could make her a bit more human. Also, I would love to see more breed options, like poodle, basset hound, Yorkshire terrier, basset hound, Newfoundland, Saint Bernard, afghan hound, dachshund, border collie, corgi, boxer, and Bichon Frise. Also, I feel like all dogs should have the same level, not starting at number one either every breed, and maybe you should be able to add all types to your back, and breed with any of them, and be able to get a mixed breed as a result. That would be even cooler! But overall, it is a very satisfying and easy game. I LOVE it. Thank you so much for making this game. Also, the boss fighting music is EPIC. ❤️❤️❤️ but the game won’t let any dog but the Great Dane use the skateboard, and when I drive the car, I get stuck in it when I try and get out.

### 4/5 — I recommend this game!🐶🐾

*2025-03-15, version 3.0*

This game is so fun! I love that you can live indoors(in a house which a human)or outdoors. I also love that you can have a husband or a wife depends, and you can also have babies! But the only thing about this game is that it glitches, not so much that you can’t play. But I have played all of the gluten free games and it happens to all of them. But I really enjoy this game! ❤️

### 2/5 — Glitch

*2025-03-10, version 3.0*

Ummm so this glitch is when I tried to turn into a beagle I couldn’t it was like a cross and I’m like OMG NOOOOOOOOO🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😡😡😡😡😡PLEASE FIX THIS GLITCH NOWWWWW OR I WILL BE UNDER YOUR BED

### 2/5 — Ridiculous easy and way too annoyed by females with male genitals, VERY lazy and ruched game.

*2025-03-02, version 3.0*

So stupid, dog breeds have a gendered model, then when I have a female on a male breed she still have male genitals, it makes absolutely NO SENSE! Uninstalled stupid game, and this is without mentioning how those games are more and more ridiculous easy and are more and more full of glitches/bugs

### 5/5 — I love it but a couple things. (Please read)🙂

*2025-02-19, version 3.0*

So… I love the game and I have been playing almost all of these gluten free games for YEARS. It’s just that it’s really hard to get new dog breeds unlocked. I’m never able to get them easily because there are no logs I can escape in to level up. (That’s my way for leveling up quickly in the other games. 🙂) but it would be nice if you could put logs in the game to hide from predators. And also, could you let us have bigger families? I read Warriors and Survivors about clans of dogs and cats and it would be nice if you could role play your own clan in the wild instead of having only four families members as a clan. Maybe like ten spots and let the player have more thank one puppy in a litter at a time (they rarely have just one.).please try to take my suggestions. The game is great and thank you! 😁 Edit: oh also can we please not be able to kill dogs on the game? That’s like an awful thing and it’s really sad that every dog you meet attacks you and you usually have to kill them. And please maybe don’t make the humans run away from us. And our owners should be able to walk us and walk around the house. Please and thanks!

### 5/5 — Don’t buy this

*2025-02-11, version 3.0*

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Good game but it needs to be a bit more realistic…

*2024-03-12, version 3.0*

OK I LOVE THIS Game like a lot but there’s some things that need to be fixed, 

so first off, they should make you be able to be adopted
I like winter to be kind of animal control that can catch you and put you in a shelter so that you can be adopted. 
it’s heartbreaking
 that you can’t be😢

I also think you should be able to jump through the chimney in the house, so please change those things
It’s a really good game but it has a lot of problems…

There’s also another thing that needs fixed like every few times, you change your empty, the game crashes😟

.

### 5/5 — Strange stuff is happening

*2026-06-12, version 3.0*

First:I saw two wolves and two foxes in a yard and they were fighting 
And after that an alligator in a yard Second:I was a beagle and I couldn’t 
find a mate. Also  can you add a husky and a border collie and a golden retriever please? Maybe you can make Ultimate Mutt Simulator and you could choose how you look but there are no breeds( of course there are breeds! They are too tangled up for you to see which is which is what I mean.) So you could mate whoever you wanted. And you could add kids. And make dogs not attack you. And make there be a shelter you go to before you get adopted. And make there be a vet you go to when you get hurt.And make the owner walk you and do more than just feed you. And make the children go on a school bus. And make there be shops in the city. And make there be other pets in the homes you get taken to. And make there be dog beds. And make the human not stay in one place and stare at a wall please. And can we choose our starting dog. And can you make the beagle more realistic? Its paws look like stairs. No offense. And make the human walk around and call you by your name instead of “Dog” or “Doggy”. (And, And, And! I’m sorry if you feel stressed,) the reason I live in the wild is because it’s so fun and living tame is so boring 🥱 😴 but if you add what I ask for I might go back. Please make the simulator I asked for but with legendary bosses like the one in ultimate fox. Thank you for making this game. I know this is a lot to ask for.



Glossary of things before the story:
Leashed dog: dog version of a kittypet 
Unleashed dog: stray, not truly wild.
Wild dog: wild, never thinks about leaving, unlike unleashed dogs. 
Clear Eyes: mark of the wild inside coming out.
Murky Eyes: you’re either a leashed or unleashed dog.


Story:

Thorn was alone, Abandoned, as the runt in the litter, her only hope was to be Leashed.
Her family died, and she would’ve too had her sister, Whitecaps, not named her. She limped into the wild. Stumbling, she trudged on until she met a fellow Unleashed Dog. His name was Papaya, and they both were losing their Murky Eyes. They were Wild dogs, proved by their Clear Eyes and incredible love for the wild. They had pups but only one survived. Thorn named her Whitecaps after her sister. 
There were many other pups that came after, but Thorn never forgot her first family.





Another story, about Whitecaps (sister, not daughter. Also critical that you read the first one, because there is a major reveal.) 


Whitecaps was alone. She had left her pack after they faked death and left her littlest sister on the streets. She set out to find her sister and tell her the truth. Instead she met another dog, his name was Sesame and they lived together. When they had pups, she named them Sea Salt and Coco. One day she was lying in their den when Coco sprinted up to her.  “Sea Salt has fallen in the river!” Whitecaps ran to the icy river but couldn’t see him. She spotted someone familiar jump in and pull him out. No. Way. It was Thorn! Her littlest sister! Whitecaps rejoiced as Thorn walked up to her. Wait, her eyes were so clear.
“ You’re a Clear Eyes!” Thorn looked at her blankly, then recognition snapped. “ Whitecaps!” Then she introduced her and Sesame to Papaya. “Did you know we’re brothers?” They said. They always were two separate packs, but they still hunt together, and we know them as the Moon pack, (Thorn’s pack) and the Sun pack ( Whitecaps’s pack)



Optional (not part of the story, but some people like sad endings. The real version is that no one dies)

No one realized that Sea salt had fallen into the river. Coco saw him and dived in. She pushed him out but he had drowned before she could get to him. She never got out of the water. 

End

( This is why it’s optional, and SUPER sad.

### 5/5 — Pls add this

*2026-05-20, version 3.0*

Make her be able to make a family and make her so she can move, like take walks, and if you get hit by a car, you instantly lay down, not  able to get up and make her fall 911 cause she knows that you won’t soon make it.

### 5/5 — I have a question, but I also have answers for some people

*2026-03-08, version 3.0*

First, the answers so if you go to the bottom left corner, not the skull and bones go to the? And then once you arrive, you should see a big house and please don’t complain because I also have ultimate cat simulator and it’s a small house but ultimate dog simulator has a upstairs unlike ultimate cat simulator oh and that’s something you need to fix on ultimate cat simulator. Now my question how do I breed? Please reply like you could put ads on Magic Tiles 3 or even Dancing Sky 3 but if they say no say that they will lose one of their people that play their games now are you gonna do this? I’m gonna be playing it for the rest of the day well at least after 11 o’clock see ya. Hope you fix it. oh almost forgot I can relate to something with red fox and dog, even though she probably deleted it or something, but I can relate with a few things the dog she used for leveling up is also my dog for leveling up and I kind of relate to a lot of things with her or him see ya for real this time not like to leave the game though like see on the ad in a few hours, hopefully in a few days or week so if not hours I won’t wait months

### 5/5 — Amazing game!

### 5/5 — Amazing game, but some glitches

*2025-08-03, version 3.0*

In the abandoned town, the buildings float and the French bulldog isn’t playable. Also, can you please remove the private parts on the dog models? It kinda makes me mad, since I can’t have a girl dog on some breeds. Other than that, great game though!
