Doggie Dash

I really enjoyed this game and it was very dueable, which is good coming from somebody who just does not have a quick enough mouse finger to get through Diner Dash and the like games.
I was a little bit disappointed though because when somebody pays full price for a game they expect it to last more than a day and that is exactly how long it took me to win this game.
The graphics were great, the music good and game play fun. Like I said, the only disappointment was the amount of time it took to play and win this game.
Good Luck and have fun playing!

FABulous game, with a dog-on glitch! ;)

Ok, I bought this one, because I played the demo and had a GREAT time! But I felt like one of those people who test drive and buy a fabulous car; drive it off the lot, and the wheels fall off!

This game has seriously cute and beautiful graphics, creative characters, and the copywriters managed to find and use every single dog/cat metaphoric cliche' on the planet! For a critter lover like me, it really was tons of FUN. But, BUT... as soon as the 60 minutes of demo play was over and it was buy-time(perhaps just in my case, but it seemed all too ironic) the levels started getting not just incrementally but SUDDENLY harder, and nearly impossible!

It is like most of the sim action games that you have to learn to string together multiple tasks, which result in more money, more upgrade as a BONUS, but in Doggie Dash, perfection is not only mandatory, but required to pass the level! Without really much warning the poodles and Siamese cats (specifically) made your game play infuriating. They then leave with your money and nerves in the palm of their paw ;).
I am a seasoned gamer, so I am not adverse to challenge.. like in Farm Frenzy, or Snowy's Lunch Rush, even Burger Island, But the downer was that it was so darned early on. It didn't give you a chance to complete several levels, or enjoy your success for a time, or admire your savvy upgrades.. you just went from fun to .. UNINSTALL in 0-60!

Great if you like Diner Dash

If you like Diner Dash, you'll like Doggie Dash! Basically you own your own pet shop and have to get the pets through baths, grooming, and ribbons as fast as you can. I loved the demo, wouldn't mind the full version but don't have the money. You have upgrades you can buy to make the machines go faster, to make you and your partner go faster, to make the pets happier, etc.

Excellent time management game! Great job, PlayFirst!

Tips & Tricks for 'Doggie Dash':

GENERAL TIPS



As pets come in the store they will ask to be taken to certain stations in order to get a variety of services done. Those services have to be done in the order in which they are listed. You can click on several actions in a row to get the job done faster. The faster you are the more money you will earn.



Each level is different so what works in one may not work in another. In some instances it is best to take care of animals as they come in, especially in the levels in which you were not able to buy any upgrades. That would usually happen on the first level of a new shop.



At times it is best to wait and let a few animals come in before you decide which ones to take first. In levels in which the Poodles appear take them ahead of everybody else. In levels in which you do not have your partners working with you, do not buy the Playpen Stations since it is one more thing for you to do in those rounds.



In theory having three stations is better than two but not in this case. It is not a good idea because when you buy 3 stations of one kind you will lose too many opportunities to make bonuses. When you buy additional stations designate them in a way that will be easiest for you to place the animals in the same spot all the time.



I always designated one station throughout the whole game to one animal. The first station would always be for cats and the second one for dogs. I never deviated from this formula since it made it really easy to remember where each animal went.



There are a variety of ways to earn bonuses in this game that will help up your score. You can earn a Bonus Flag when you place the same type of animal on the same station several times in a row. Flags that have larger amounts next to them earn larger bonuses.



If a pet has 5 full hearts at check-out you will earn a Full Heart Bonus. To get a last minute Full Heart Bonus give a pet a treat as they are on the last station to boost their heart.

TIPS FOR ASSORTED LEVELS

2-3
The poodle is introduced in this level. Take care of it above any other pets that come into the shop.
3-2
Even though the third station is available do not buy it because it will break up your flag and swap bonuses.
3-4
In this level you will have to take pets to the exit station yourself.
If you forget to take them the pets will get angry and leave.
As soon as you see the arrow icon, remember to take the pets out.
3-8
You will only have cats in this level.
Keep all cats on one station, swap cats as much as possible.
Leave the Persian cats for last, they have patience and they will wait but they hold everybody else up since they take too long at service stations.
4-6
There are more cats than dogs in this level.
Upgrade whichever station you are assigning the cats to first.
Whatever money you have left designate to your other upgrades.
Upgrade your helpers to give them more speed.
4-7
Buy the jukebox since it increases the hearts of the pets in the shop.
Play the jukebox and get on the podium as much as you can.
Keep the flag bonuses going.
4-8
Labrador retrievers are introduced in this level.
I upgraded all my stations at once to make sure that they were all running at the same speed.
I also bought the X-Power energy drink.
You will only get dogs in this level.
Make sure that you send all the dogs to same station all the time. For example, designate only the left station of each service for the dogs to go to.
Take the pets with the lowest hearts first since they will be low in patience.
Go to the podium and jukebox often.

TIPS FOR ASSORTED LEVELS Part 2
5-1
I ignored the third washing station and I never upgraded to a third machine on the other stations
The Megaphone is introduced.
Losing any animal in this shop will cost you $500 each.
In this level you are not able to buy any upgrades so the only way to keep the pets happy is to take them in the order they come in.
DO NOT use the third wash station because it will throw off your swap and flag bonuses.
Be careful not to confuse the Shih Tzu with a cat. If you're not sure what they look like go to the help menu and familiarize yourself with each breed of animal and their temperament.
You can also tell the animals by the sounds they make when you pick them up.
5-2
I purchased the megaphone for $3200 since it encouraged workers to go faster.
The only other upgrade I purchased was the "waiting room decor" for $750 so customers could be more patient while waiting in line.
Ignore the third wash station, do not use it.
Pick up the poodle as soon as you see it since it has low patience and will leave quickly.
Use the megaphone when the floor is at it's fullest.
You should be able to get full heart bonuses by taking care of customers quickly.
5-3
The Yorkshire Terrier is introduced in this level. It has medium patience, fast service and is noisy (which makes certain pets around it lose patience faster)
In this level I purchased the stage, dog treats and upgraded both workers.
Take the poodles as soon as they come in. Sometimes you will have to take them back to back since several come in at one time.
Go to the podium when everyone is busy working so you can boost some hearts before you take them to the floor.
Give treats to the dogs that have low patience. It will help you get full heart bonuses as well.
Leave the Persian cats for last since they have high patience.
The Siamese cats are very impatient take
