The Sims 3 Pets Guide › Walkthrough › Dogs

Dog Park

Dog’s Day Town Plaza, the local dog park, is a great place to take your pet, and to interact with other neighborhood pet owners. You dog can chase and fetch, or play with other dogs and make new friends.

Dog crossing

The park has sprinklers to play in, hydrants to enjoy, and a dog-bone shaped pool to take a dip in. The park also has plenty of room to run so you can have a boisterous game of fetch or chase.

Tip

Find playmates for your dogs at the dog park. And because Sims here are bound to be dog lovers, don’t be afraid to use the Enthuse about Dogs or Talk About Dogs socials to start off a conversation on the right paw.

My Sim enjoys the fresh air and beautiful landscaping while my dog takes a dip in the pool.

Recipe for Dog Happiness

Give your dog lots of love and attention. Even independent dogs need time with their favorite Sims.

Make sure your dog always has access to chew toys. Buy the Pet Toy Crate item right away, and direct your pet (or use reinforcement) to chew toys instead of furniture.

Feed your dog regularly. Gourmet pet food will help your dog live longer.

Take care of fleas right away. They not only make your dog miserable, they spread to other pets and Sims.

Bring your dog to the dog park to socialize with other dogs and to have room to run.
