For the board game, players take turns drawing cards and following the instructions as they "walk" their dog or cat around the board until the last one gets home safely. Responsible pet care (such as always being kind to your dog or cat, even when he makes a mistake) allows the players to move ahead, while negative actions (like teasing your dog or cat) require the players to move backward. Everyone wins by learning how to keep both dogs and cats healthy and happy!

There are 2 options for the game: a pre-colored board OR a blank...
