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.
