Pick a breed, name your dog and look after it like the real thing: GPS walks โ real routes with time, distance and a check that you actually went outside Daily care โ feeding, play, grooming, rest; your dog's stats react to how well you care Training โ 9 commands with gradual unlocking and a mastery system; every breed learns differently Health โ a vaccination calendar and realistic monthly and yearly costs of owning a dog Learning โ articles on adoption, choosing a shelter and the 10 questions to ask yourself before getting a dog Life timeline and badges โ follow milestones and progress Co-ownership โ share the care with your family (Premium) Trypup is not a game you win.
