Toca Life: Pets

Toca Life: Pets
Reviewed on 5/30/18

Do you love animals?  Maybe you’d like a pet, but can’t have one?  Toca Life: Pets is a great app for playing with virtual animals. I recently read a quote that the best toys are “10% toy and 90% kid” and this is certainly true of the Toca Life series.  They give you lots of great characters and objects to play with, but YOU get to decide what happens during the play. Do you want to feed the animals? Feed the people? Dress them up? Make the animals pee or poop or give them a bath?  It’s all up to you! There are five different locations to explore: Pet Park, Pet Hotel, Veterinary, Pet Shop, and Breeder’s Bungalow (though there doesn’t appear to be an actual breeding going on there!). There are real animals and some imaginary animals and, like all Toca Boca apps, the people in the apps are of many different races, genders, ages and abilities. You can play however you want and you can even record yourself playing and share it with a loved one!  What kind of pet would you get?
