Virtual pets allow children the option of learning to care for pets before adopting any real ones. Parents enjoy these games because kids get the experience of having animals, while parents don't have to take on any additional responsibilities. Online virtual pet games and communities are popular, with games like Neopets having been around for years.
Net Pet
Net Pet is a game created by American Girl. This game starts with players choosing whether they'd like a cat or a dog and then picking out of two or three choices of animals. Players will have to spend time feeding, playing with and training their pet. Dogs and cats in this game can be taught commands such as sit, talk, wake up and stop.
Neopets
Neopets is a popular online game and community for kids. This game begins with players registering and choosing a pet to look after. This game includes unique, fictional animal species that users can customize and name. Once an account is created, players take their neopet around a map, through cities and towns, playing games and activities. Activities such as jobs are available, and players must earn money in order to purchase items for their pet.
Power Pets
Power Pets is an online game geared toward children, that involves creating a user account before playing. Once an account is created, kids can visit the online adoption center to choose an animal to begin taking care of. The adoption center contains dogs, cats, small animals and even some wild animals such as foxes. Users can feed and care for their pets, along with exploring an online world map and playing various pet-related games. Quests help to keep players busy and help them earn money to buy items for their virtual pet.
