Dogs | Others FarmVille Guide

Dogs

Care of animals doesn't not necessary mean only collecting products relating to them, eg milk from cow. In FarmVille you can also become a dog's owner. You can purchase dogs at the beginning, but they are not so cheap though. But you'll gain a faithful friend in return, which follows you when you work on your farm, checks out every visiting friend farmer, makes some tricks and sometimes even helps with everyday activities.

There are many of dogs to choose

Go to the Market and then check the Animals / Pets bookmark. There are some decorative items but also a bunch of dogs. Note that only one, Border Collie, can be purchased with coins (300,000). Every other costs usually 65 Farm Cash, which in fact is a lot of money. You can also take an interest in small Terrier which costs 5,000 coins. You need to have 15 friends however to unlock this offer.

Click Buy and the new window will pop up where you can select the dog gender (Male or Female), its color or its name (it can't be changed later so think carefully).

This puppy probably got his owner

With buying a puppy you duty list extends, while you have to feed it every day for 14 days. If you manage this, your puppy will turn into beautiful, matured dog. Your puppy eats a Puppy Kibble. If you buy one with Farm Cash, you'll be provided with 14 portions of Puppy Kibble, but if you buy a puppy for coins, you'll get only one portions of Puppy Kibble. You can buy extra portions at the Market for Farm Cash or ask you friends, while it can be also received as a gift. It is always a good idea to collect enough amount of Puppy Kibble before purchasing a puppy.

Puppy will love it

You shoud feed your puppy everyday and you can check the proper feeding time on a special watch visible on the game screen. If you forget to feed you puppy, do not worry (for now) - you'll get additional 24 hours to do it. But remember that there is a trick - if you feed your puppy at 20th hour of additional time for example, you'll have only 4 hours to feed it again. So as you can see, you have to be very punctual. If you are a bad owner, and you've purchased your puppy with coins, it may go to animal shelter. Then you can buy it back for few Farm Cash banknotes. If your puppy was purchased with Farm Cash, it will stay with you even when it's hungry.

Bad news

The grown up dog doesn't need to be feed, but you can do it if you want (it's optional). And it doesn't like Puppy Kibble anymore, but prefers Dog Treats. Thanks to this fodder it can learn some tricks and even starts to help you with your farm duties.

This is not a guard dog for sure

Take a look at a table below. You can see 3 basic dog tricks, which are always the same for each dog, independently of dog's breed. There is also one special skill, which will be describes later. You have to be very systematic while training your dog, giving it bones on a regular basis. If you forget to feed your dog one day, it will forget everything it has learned so far and you have to start teaching the trick from the start.

Tricks window

A special trick allows you to use your dog to help you on the farm. This skill depends on your dog's breed. It can take care of particular animals for example. In the table below you can see special dog skill, which can be obtained after long (14 days), arduous training (1+3+3+7 Dog Treats).
