Check out our Tips and Tricks for Doggie Dash and learn how to pamper your pets for the highest score.

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. .
  • Animals will ask to go to the Playpen Station when they have 5 full hearts, which will earn you extra money. You can also earn flag bonuses when you place the same type of animal in the same Playpen each time. This is why it’s good to always purchase 2 Playpens at the same time. If you don’t, you will minimize the amount of swap and flag bonuses you can earn.
  • Turning on the jukebox at just the right time can give several pets a heart boost in one shot. Turn it on when you have the most pets on several stations and the jukebox will give each pet on the floor 2 additional hearts.
  • The jukebox can be turned on even if you have an animal in your hand. It needs to recharge after each use, keep an eye out for when it’s ready so you can use it often.
  • Swapping bonuses are made when you take an animal and swap it with another animal of the same kind. The swap can be performed at any station and it can allow you to rack up major points in a level. In levels in which you only have one type of animal coming in is a great way to make huge swapping, flag and full heart bonuses.
  • In some levels you will only have either all cats or all dogs coming in. Always remember to keep them in one station only at all times in order to achieve a high score. It can be done; you just have to prioritize which ones to take first and which ones to leave in line.
  • There are 5 locations in the game and with every new shop you will have to start from scratch with decorations and upgrades. Always try to have 2 stations of each kind as soon as they become available. Save your money and upgrade all your stations at the same time, that way they are all operating at the same speed. You do not want one station running faster than others if you can help it.
  • There are many ways to beat the game and a lot of upgrades that will help you do so. Just because a lot of upgrades are offered does not mean that you have to use or buy them all. If you want to keep your bonuses going I do not recommend buying a third station, two is the best number to have. I only bought the massage table once because it was too easy to forget that the pets were there and I would eventually lose them.
  • Go to the podium often – especially right before you take a customer to the floor. If you leave the podium before it is fully activated it will not boost hearts. You will have to wait for it to recharge before you can use it again.
  • While you’re on the podium take that opportunity and look around the room for your next move. It will give you time to look around the room and see who should go next.
  • On certain levels your partner will be out sick and you will have to do extra work. In those instances you are going to be responsible for taking all the pets to the exit counter. In these levels it can be hard to remember to go to the exit counter. Make a conscious effort to remember or you will lose a lot of points and pets.
  • Even though you can have the fastest machines it does not mean that all dogs go through them at the same speed. You will notice that some animals take longer than others. Each animal has different speeds in which they go through services and how long they are willing to wait in line.
  • In order to play the best game possible look at the help section in the game and learn what each pet looks like and what their temperament is. It will help you in prioritizing which animals to pick up first.
  • The Poodles and the Siamese cats are the most impatient animals of all. However, they are fast when they are at stations so they will not take too much time while there. Placing slow animals ahead of them may cause the Siamese cats and the Poodles to get angry and leave.
  • Some dogs are noisy and they bother some of the other pets around them causing them to lose patience faster than normal. Try not to leave noisy dogs at one station too long. Dogs that are noisy are the Shih Tzus and the Yorkshire Terriers.
  • The Persian cat and the Dachshund dog have the most patience in line of all the animals but they take a very long time at stations. It is best to leave them in line as long as possible and take care of others ahead of them. Give them a treat while in line or stand at the podium to give them a heart boost.
  • It is important not to leave certain animals waiting for too long. If you let them lose too much patience they will get angry and leave. Every time a pet leaves your shop it can cost between $100 – $500, which greatly affects your score. The higher you go on levels the more it costs you when each pet leaves.
  • You can restart a level because you either failed a level or you just want to try for a higher score. If you think you know where you went wrong you should change your upgrades. If you think your workers were too slow you can upgrade the speed of your partners. If too many pets were leaving because they were impatient you should consider buying a jukebox, a podium or some treats.
  • At times it can be confusing as to which type of animal you are picking up. Some dogs have long hair and they could easily be confused with a cat. There are two things you can do so that you do not mix them up. One, you can look at the help section and familiarize yourself with the different breeds. Two, if you’re playing with the sound on, each pet you pick up will either bark or meow.
  • You should buy treats for your pets as soon as they become available; they are inexpensive so buy them early on. Treats can be given to pets while they wait in line or at any station. If you try and give a treat to a pet and they leave before you get there, the treat will be there for the next pet that arrives at that station.
  • If you have 2 cats left that are going to the same station, one needs a cut and a ribbon and the other one just needs a ribbon. Choose the one that needs both services first so you can make a swap bonus once the first one is done.
  • If you’re feeling overwhelmed pause the game and you can still see a large part of the screen. You will be able to make a better assessment of what your next move should be.
  • You can drop a pet at a station that is not theirs and let them wait there until you’re ready to get them. At times you will pick up a pet by accident, you can take them to a station that they did not request for a very short period of time. Doing so will not mess up your flag bonuses as long as it is a station that they did not request.
