TREAT: Play & impact REAL dogs 12+

This app is AMAZING simply because it helps out shelters to be able to provide treats and meals for dogs. All dogs deserve a loving home and my wish is they could ALL be adopted. The reality is shelters are overcrowded and many will not take in more pets. This game allows you to virtually adopt a pet and play an easy game in which you can earn REAL treats for your virtual adopted pet - and then it gets shipped via CHEWY to your pet. This helps take some of the financial strain off the shelters and you can also buy food for your pet or offer to help feed more than 1 pet at a shelter. Extended game play results in learning more information about your pet such as breed and how long it has been at the respective shelter. It breaks my heart so many pets end up in them. Mostly because people are too lazy to care. If you can’t be a responsible pet owner and don’t plan on keeping a pet for your L I F E T I M E — DO NOT get a pet just to end up giving it to a shelter because that pet presents too many challenges for you. If you can’t care for a pet then you certainly do not need children because you will fail miserably as a parent!!!

I love this game, I work with rescue dogs myself and I love helping the dogs. This game is a great way for the rescues to gain supplies for all their current pups, as well as helping them bring in new dogs. I enjoy playing with each dog on the game and earning food and treats to send to them. I also like that you can bond with the dogs you get, the more bonded you are the more likely they are to get infinite health so you’ll never lose them. The only things that bother me in this game are the dog’s coat colors and health. The game offers a very limited variety of coat colors, most of the dog’s characters look nothing like the dogs. I’ve been playing this game for months, never had an issue with their health until yesterday. I have a routine where I feed them and get their health up to 100 every morning after I get up. Yesterday I fed them like normal but with 2 hours they all dropped down to 5% health and I almost lost all of them. I was at work when I noticed this and had to hope they would last until I got home because again, I work with dogs and don’t have time to sit on my phone all day. This morning went to feed them again as usual and they’re all still at 100 from when I fed them the second time yesterday. There needs to be a more organized way for the dogs to lose health(over a certain number of hours, etc.) because I know I’m not alone when I say I can’t be glued to this game 24/7. I love this game but it’s a game not a lifestyle.

I love the app and its purpose, and it's actually pretty fun. However, it definitely has a few glitches that need to be worked out - the glitches both make it harder to make the positive impact that is ultimately the app's purpose, and make it less enjoyable. First, "losing" a dog after a certain amount of time is absolutely useless - that helps literally nobody, especially the dog. There's zero information about the timeframe you have before "losing" the dog, and it's wildly inconsistent between different dogs; I played less than 18 hours ago, and played until all my dogs were at 100% health, and yet I "lost" one while the other one still had 98% health. No rhyme or reason to it, which is super frustrating. Second, half the time my package order confirmations are labeled correctly, and half the time they say a different dog's name - I'm glad to help any dog, but just have no idea which dog it's actually going to. This happens no matter which one of my multiple dogs I'm shipping to. Both of these problems are especially frustrating when I've already opted to upgrade and pay a monthly fee to send full meals and treats, instead of just treats. Great idea, just really needs some issues ironed out.
