A nice toy....

Overall this is a nice toy. My daughter loves animals and if your child does this would be one they would enjoy playing with over and over again. It comes with everything you need to care for the puppy. The puppy is soft and very huggable. The only thing I would suggest is that it should come with a small bag to keep all the pieces in. My daughter ends up throwing all the pieces into the carrier with the dog in it and they jiggle and spill out sometimes when it's being carried around. It would also help to avoid losing those small pieces. Other than that, we love it.

She says she wants to be a vet

My seven year old daughter says she wants to be a vet, so when we went to spend some birthday money, and she saw this, she fell in love with it. Some of the accessories don't look like any tool I've ever seen at a vet's office, but that hasn't stopped her from finding a use for them--she's really using her imagination with this one. No broken parts in our kit, and it's not getting the most gentle treatment, so maybe I got a new version or something.

Great Idea! (but the quality could use some work)

My twin sons got this for christmas when they were 3. They loved it!!! The dog is so cuddly and cute. They loved playing pretend with the accessories. My only complaint is that within a day the latch was falling off, the syringe was coming apart, and the brush had lost a couple of bristles. The boys had not played rough with it, it just wasn't the quality that I had hoped for. It is a real favorite of theirs, I am just afraid that it won't last as long as their imaginations. I think that with a few improvements it will be a fantastic toy. A real winner for young children in the hospital.
