Treat is amazing it’s so fun to help the other dogs get adopted
Let me turn off the sound
Game seems ok and the concept is fantastic. I can not find a way to turn off the sound. Repetitive music gets incredibly annoying not to mention the fact that sometimes you may in an environment where music is not appropriate. Making me use the volume buttons is not an acceptable answer as you really should just have a settings menu
Amazing

Great concept, terrible execution
I like the idea of playing a game to help rescue dogs. But as others have noted, when the ads pop-up, most of the time, there is no way to get out of the ad and get back to the game. They’re supposed to be an X button according to the developers, who I emailed. But 90% of the time, there is no X. They asked for more info and I sent it to them, but… Crickets. I’ll be deleting this. And that’s too bad.
Political adds really
Great game but might stop playing after some stupid right wing add comes up for repealing radical studies, whatever that means.
You stole from me!
I downloaded the app. Had not even opened and you took over $17 out of my account WITHOUT asking or confirming! I want a refund! Or i will report this app as a scam.
Not very rewarding
Very cool and unique concept, but gameplay is very boring and repetitive. You have to pay a monthly subscription to give the dogs real food and not treats. The creators’ AI usage is also terrible. Could be great if there was more thought and care put into this idea.
Nice idea- app development needs work
I like the idea of the app but it’s difficult to use due to frequent glitches and slow downs loading ads. Better programming is needed.

Chewy is not partnered with app
I downloaded the app and while I love the idea I decided to confirm with chewy if they actually send treats and they said they are not partnered with the app and often times treats are not actually delivered to the dogs.
Love the concept, BUT….
There are SO MANY glitches and bugs. One of them being that while I’m petting a dog, sometimes their health will randomly drop to 0% instead of increasing. It’s not often but often enough to cause annoyance. I reached out support and they requested I provide screenshots but that’s not really possible as you literally cannot track when that will happen. Also, this becomes SO boring. There’s little to no variety on what players can do, it’s all chance. Rolling the dye and landing on a bone is the most useless feature. Players can only send meals if they pay, treats are they only consistently free supplies we can send to dogs. If this app did not directly support shelter dogs and provide updates on their adoptions, I would have stopped using it ages ago. Please fix this.
I love helping the dogs BUT
I like this game helping the dogs I really feel like I’m helping if I could. The dice rolls do not renew while your not playing , so at this time it’s been overnight and this morning I still have zero rolls but I can get 28 in 15 mins, there is nothing up do while you wait. I think I’ll have to delete this game just because i feel terrible like I can’t help the dogs. Great concept but terrible execution
Not free
Idk what you are all on about. You can send treats for free, if you want to send meals you have to pay for it. While sure that’s fine, that’s absolutely not what’s advertised. I was excited to be able to send dogs meals for free but you must pay to be able to. The definition of not free. Why wouldn’t you make an option to watch a bunch of ads or something instead of paying? Very disappointing.
