The pet store is where you can buy cats and dogs to live in your sims houses.
You can find the pet store on the town map post to see where it is
Once you have built the store it will look like this:
Buying a pet
Firstly select the pet you want, click on the tabs to change between them and the arrow keys to select a breed.

I am saving up for a robocat or a robodog. Who is better at finding treasure? I like the kitty because you can hug them, but cats sometimes seem slower at digging up treasure. Thanks!
I have no idea, I don’t think there is really any difference 🙂
How do your dogs happiness go up and how do I see your city
Dogs happiness increases by having a sim click on the dog and selecting an option, you can praise the dog

Today I unlocked the Fortune Box after weeks of saving keys (yay!) and now have 83 LP in total, do you think I should buy a 3 star pet or save my LP for something else? Thanks, and your blog is really helpful by the way!
Well done!
If you want a 3 star pet you should buy one, they should find you loads of LPs so you can save up for other things!
You’re welcome and I’m glad it helps!
Thanks! 🙂
[…] Make a dog dig for treasure- explained in this post: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/09/18/the-sims-freeplay-pet-store/ […]
How did you earn so many lps?!
https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/the-sims-freeplay-15-ways-to-make-money-and-lps/
Sorry, I realized you have answered this question many times. But can I ask how many lps do you currently have? And also how long did it take for you to save up for, like, a house? (like the user designed house.) 😊
I have 5 right now after completing the breakdancing hobby!
That is a hard question to answer because it really depends on how many times I do the cooking hobby and how quickly I can get it done but I would say a few days.
Does It Have To Be Certain Dogs That Can Dig Up LP Cause, I’m Saving Up LP To Bake The Bday Cake But My Dog Has Dug Like 54 Times And Hasn’t Dug Up Any LP…
no it doesn’t, 3 star dogs are more likely to find LPs though.
Should I get a 3 star car or should I save up for a 3 star pet? I’m not which would be better at finding LPs. I have 50 LPs right now, so I have enough for the Sci Fi car…
I would get a pet because they find LPs without the need for a sim, unlike the car that needs a sim to drive it.
Thank You! I appreciate it. I also thought its a better deal to get a mansion with the 3 star car. I’m still on the need for steed quest but should be done with it soon. I have patience. 🙂
So, I’m still trying to make a decision here on whether to buy a 3 star pet or just go for the 2 star. I don’t if it’s worth 75 LPs… Will it give you the LPs back in the long run?
I would get a two star
Awesome thank you! That’s great to know!
Does the amount of money or lps depend on the happiness of your pet? And if your pet reaches the lowest hapiness level will it die or escape?
I think they do find more if they are happy
But no they won’t die or escape if they are unhappy, they just move around very slowly
Can you breed pets or just buy multiple of them?
You can’t breed pets, you can just buy two for each house.
Hey there. I want to first off saying thank you so much for creating this amazing blog and I appreciate how much you dedicate yourself into making everything so simple and easy to follow and your patience with everyone lol. I’ve been following you for months and REALLY appreciate all the times you saved me LPs on all the advice you’ve given.
Anyways, I had a question/observation I found today after buying my fifth pet. I had two cats (all 2 star), one 2 star dragon, and two dogs ( 1 star and 3 star ). And when I went to the pet shop today, I noticed the prices (LPs) dropped significantly on the dogs and cats. For instance, the greyhound is 2 LP and a husky is 37 LP and a short haired black cat is 2 LP and the black cat is 31LP (i think).
Do you know if this is from an update or after buying a certain amount of pets that the prices go down?
You’re welcome! Thanks
For a limited time only pets are half price, I don’t know how long this will last for though
Ahh thank you! I just saw the pop-up today so I bought robo cat and dog and the bejeweled blitz cat XD
I saw the ad for half price pets today (3/6/15) but in the pet store they’ve changed back to full price. Can anyone else confirm this?
Yes they are full price again, the pop up seems to still appear even though they are full price again
[…] Pets finding treasure- the more expensive the pet the more likely they will find LPs but they mostly find simoleons […]
Hi just bought my first pet. I’ve noticed that in the home store part there are things to buy for your pets. Are these worth spending the Lps on? Do they make a difference to the amount of treasure your pet finds?
I don’t think they make any difference at all
I started a new game on my iPad while continuing my current game in my phone I am on level 10 and I haven’t received a dog for free yet and I think that’s odd do you think I will still get one?
They have changed it so you don’t start with a free dog anymore, which I think is a shame!
Since the sims can have babies as a way of creating new sims and expanding families why can’t the pets be assigned a gender the way the sims are when the player creates them so that the pets could breed as we’ll? I would love to breed two dogs or two cats and have puppies or kittens.
If I want to add you as a friend on sims do you have to be my friend on Facebook?
Sorry my facebook account has been suspended
Not sure if everyone is experiencing this but every dog and cat is 479LP for me!!!!!!!
strange glitch! you might want to contact EA to see if they can fix this issue for you.
Just wanted to add that the pet store now has nothing to do with any quests, you can build it anytime
Sorry I knew that, I just didn’t get around to updating the post.
On the King of Basements Quest, you have to play with a pet a home. I tried every pet and the task is still not complete. Does anyone have the same problem?
are you using an adult sim?
Oops. I was using teenagers. Thanks.
Hi your page has helped me a lot!!
I now have 75 lps, should I buy one husky or wait for the robodog? They are both 3 star but it says the more expensive a pet the better they are…
I’m glad it helps!
It doesn’t really matter as they are both 3 star, its just which one you prefer 🙂
Is there a way to increase the cats happiness?
yes, by having a sim interact with it.
Yea that’s what I thought but looks like my owner can’t do it because it never gives me any interacting options….but when I invited another sim, he was able to do it…so I guess that’s my work around it. You know why that could happen?
If your cat is moving you won’t get the interaction, you need to wait for it to stop before you can interact so that may be why
I have about six pets some of them I have named, but I can remember how I did it?
click on the pet and click rename
