    Your idea is truly amazing!! As someone who absolutely loves dogs, I agree 100%!!

  • I also want a service animal and an emotional support animal. 

  • I think it would be nice if sims could can the gourmet pet food they make and sell it or simply use it for their pets. Now they need to cook a serving every time, so I think it could be useful to be able to cook several servings at a time and can them so they can be served later.

    I hadn't had time to list the varieties I was interesting 

  • Maybe for birds/parrots also African Grey/Grey Parrot and/or Jardine Parrot/Red-Fronted Parrot. 

    I helped hand raise/hand feeding an African Grey and Lovebirds when I worked in a pet shop for a bit, they are such social, and loving birds :)

  • Thank you for mentioning this about the short legged dogs. I'll add it since I have a list of Breeds I want on the list. Please stay tuned I am not even halfway done. This is me trying to do this again as I was having html issues. 

    Also many fellow Simmers would appreciate new ways to spend amassed simpleton fortunes so this was something I came up with to peel off a bit of change for them. 

  • As someone who spoils their furbaby, I could see potential in this, I spend way too much on my pup XD

    My guy in his rain gear.My guy in his winter jacket.

    But C&D don't have short legged dogs, so I haven't gotten it yet X / (hopes for update/refresh to accommodate short legged dogs!)
