The Petz Website at www.petz.com is a great place to visit and learn allabout Catz and Dogz. This is the place where you’ll be the first to find outabout awesome new Petz products, accessories, and the latest news. And,with the Petz Player (automatically installed with Catz 5 and Dogz 5), youcan play with your Petz and other owners' Petz on fan websites!

Check www.petz.com often for all the latest information on the Petz!

The Petz Publisher Wizard walks you through cre-ating your own Web page. Choose from many tem-

plates, some of which let you share a “live” versionof your Dogz online with others! See “Petz Player” below for more information.

The Petz Web Fun Pack is chock-full of Petz clipart, animations, backgrounds, and more!

With the Petz Player you can play with your Dogz andother Dogz online. Dogz 5 automatically installs the

Petz Player to your computer. Go to www.petz.comto play with some Petz online or you can create your own web page using the“Live” templates in the Petz Publisher.

In the General Options menu, you can adjustthe frequency of the Night Cycle. Setting itfaster than real-time does NOT mean yourPuppyz will grow faster.

Each day you run the Petz program,your Petz will grow a bit (until it reaches full size).

However, if you leave your program running over night,this will not automatically happen. You must restart the game each day.

Puppyz become Adult Dogz in approximately 3 to 4 days. Dogz do not getold or die. When your Dogz have a litter, Newborns become Infants in 2 to 3days. Newborns become Puppyz in 7 days.

When you cheat with your computer’s calendarto speed up the birth of your Puppyz, themother will become stuck in her pregnancy

status. If this happens, there is no way to fix it! Be patient, don’t do it!!

Now you can bring all the Toyz and objects you find in Dogz 5 withyou everywhere you go! When you find a new Toyz or win one in a

Mini Game, simply drag it to the Toyz Shelves to keep it withyou anywhere you go.
