Claim a lot, learn the five care needs, stock the Food Store, then deal with thieves. Animals and Coin upgrades come after a pen is actually running.
Which Pet Store Tycoon guides are published?
Claim a lot and serve the first customer
Join the official place, take an empty highway lot, and finish the first desk visit before you buy a floor.
Feed, water, walk, clean, and dental care
Clear the need printed on the animal. Sad pets in early play were often missing dental care, not only food.
Buy food and keep it in your hand
The map Food Store, clerk Christopher, and storage are how bowls stay full. Buy food before you buy another empty room.
Get stolen and escaped pets back to the kennel
Animals leave the pen on their own or get taken. Hire a guard, then find the pet and return it to the kennel.
Unlock cats, turtles, and later floors
Dogs and cats come first. The turtle button was hidden behind dental supplies. Upstairs animals in 2021 play were koalas and water pets.
Spend Coins on care before empty rooms
Coins buy food, workers, storage, animals, and floors. Keep a food reserve, then use the payback form with the price you actually see.
