Pet Pals: Animal Doctor gives players the chance to assume the role of a veterinarian. With advice from vet technicians, players care for 35 all-new animals, ranging from a Saint Bernard to a Clown Fish, and many more familiar and exotic breeds. More than 40 realistic medical tools allow the player to gather samples, palpate and examine the animal, and even perform surgery. As the game progresses, players are rewarded with job promotions, awards, and new game features, as well as the satisfaction of having cured these cute but sickly critters. Pet Pals: Animal Doctor offers three different levels of play, allowing players of all ages to experience the excitement of being a vet. At the most difficult setting, players must make diagnoses and perform treatment with no hints or prompting.
This latest instalment in the series of successful vet-simulation games by Legacy includes a host of new features. At random intervals during game-play, emergencies arise that require attention immediately, just as in a real clinical setting. You also have the opportunity to follow up with your furry patients and see how successful your treatments were. Finally, when you are ready to take a break, there are fascinating mini-games with lots of animal facts and information about real life vets.
