Petz Vet is a simulation game released in 2007 for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Sensory Sweep and published by Ubisoft.

It landed about 6 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2007 include TMNT, Arctic Tale and Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth.

It is part of the Petz series; on the GBA you can also try Horsez, Dogz and Dogz 2. The series also appears on other systems with Tigerz (DS) and Petz: Dogz 2 (DS). Sensory Sweep also made World Championship Poker, Tom and Jerry Tales and Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghostfiles: Spirit Detective for the GBA.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to think and plan
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want clear goals and a defined ending
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Petz Vet is like

Simulation games model a system and let you play inside it, whether that means building a city, flying a plane, raising a pet or running a business.

Tip for newcomers: Simulations are often open-ended. Set yourself small goals and enjoy experimenting with the systems.
