About this app

Thinking about getting a pet? Let your child practice first.

PetPrep is a realistic pet-care simulation for families. Your child looks after a virtual dog or cat on a real daily schedule — and you see, honestly and live, how it is going. Ready for a pet. There for its whole life.

HOW IT WORKS
- Choose the pet together: dog or cat, breed, where it comes from and its age on arrival.
- Your child signs a Responsibility Contract with a finger. Only then is the pet born.
- Every day the pet needs meals at set times, fresh water, a clean home and exercise. A dog's walks are counted from your child's real steps.
- Neglect has consequences, kept gentle for kids: a neglected pet gets sick and spends time at the vet; after a full day without care it goes to a shelter.
- Quiet hours for school and sleep: no hunger, no messes, no notifications.

REAL BREEDS, REAL NEEDS
Every breed has its own routine — meals, exercise and grooming — based on published sources, not guesses. Choose from popular dog and cat breeds such as the Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Border Collie, French Bulldog, German Shepherd, Beagle, Dachshund, Siberian Husky, Maine Coon, British Shorthair, Ragdoll and Bengal. A mixed-breed dog and a domestic cat are free forever.

A PET THAT FEELS ALIVE
Each pet gets a lifelike AI-generated look with a photo and short videos that follow how it feels: resting, sleeping, hungry or tired. Your child will want to come back to it.

FOR PARENTS
- Overview of every child and pet with a Care Score from 0 to 100 and clear reasons.
- Today's routines, the last 7 days, and reports over 7, 30 and 84 days.
- Live updates and an alert when the pet has gone without food, water or cleaning for too long.
- Several children can care for one shared pet — every action counts for the child who did it.
- Invite a second parent, pause the game at any time, set quiet hours.

THE 12-WEEK PETPREP CHALLENGE
Pick a pedigree breed for the full challenge: a one-time in-app purchase per pet, no subscription. After 12 weeks a Care Score of 70 or more earns a Certificate of Responsibility; otherwise you get an honest challenge report to talk through together.

SAFE FOR CHILDREN
- No email or password for kids: a nickname and a one-time code from a parent.
- No ads and no chat with strangers.
- Notifications never show your child's name.
- Health Connect is used only to read today's step count — nothing else is read and nothing is written.
- Data is stored in the EU; export or delete your family's data in the app at any time.

PetPrep is for families who want to get a pet right — from the first day. Questions? [e-mail]
