Pink, noisy (with the default settings) but potentially fun, this dog grooming program follows a tried-and-true simulation format.

You start by choosing one of six fluffy-looking dogs and then earn money by brushing it, teaching it tricks, and then go shopping. All the dogs are cute and furry; there are no basset hounds in this program.

All text is narrated by Barbie, which adds value as a reading experience. The music is repetitive, but can be turned down or off, and there are long load times between the areas of the game. We were hoping for a better designed program. Created by Game Machine Studios for THQ.
