How to play Pet Society: a practical guide to your first steps
To play Pet Society, go to petsociety.fbgamesweb.com, create an account with a username and password, design your pet and feed it first, because the tutorial asks for that. Everything is done with the mouse, by dragging and dropping. This guide covers the account, pet care, decoration, the town, levels and friends, with the numbers of this edition.

Here is the game: open it in your browser, create your free account and follow this guide from the first minute.
How do you create your account and your pet?
On the game page press “Create my pet” or “Create account”, type a username and a password twice and confirm. The username takes 3 to 24 characters and the password 8 to 128. The email is optional and can be added later in “My account”.
Next comes the pet creator: pick a color, tune the features on seven tabs, name your pet and choose boy or girl. You start with 5,000 coins, 0 cash and level 1, “Getting Started”, with a hungry pet.
How do you look after your pet and earn coins?
Open the chest and drag an apple, or any food, onto your pet. It eats only when hungry; then its health rises and you gain experience (the apple gave 5 points in our tests). Petting, cleaning and playing with the ball or the rope also pay coins and experience until that stat reaches its maximum and has to drop again.
Your coins show at the top left. The bottom toolbar holds the door to town, clothes, the chest and the hammer, and the floppy disk saves. The starter chest includes a fishing rod and a microwave, but those activities are not available yet.
How do you decorate the house and dress your pet?
Take furniture out of the chest, drag it into the room and press the floppy disk to save. The hammer opens build mode, to move or pick up objects, and your decoration survives a reload. The wardrobe dresses your pet, and clothes stay on.
Leveling up brings objects, better tools and, at some levels, new rooms: level 9 adds a second garden.
How does the town work, and how do you buy things?
Leave through the door on the toolbar. The signs read Furniture, Market, Outdoor, Food, Boutique, Café, Treasure Map, Clothes, DIY, Fishing, Stadium, Stylist and Mystery. Fishing, Stadium, Treasure Map and Mystery belong to activities not available yet, and we cannot vouch for Café, Boutique or Stylist.
Six shops have floors of shelves: Food, Furniture, Clothes, DIY, Garden and Market. Click an item, confirm and it lands in your chest; the server checks the price and your balance. In a test, the “Petmas Cake” cost 100 coins (5,000 became 4,900).
How do levels and ranks work?
There are 100 levels, from “Getting Started” to “24 Carat Superstar”, and each gives 100 coins and a reward. The data comes from the original game. Experience needed: level 2, 20; level 5, 250; level 10, 2,000; level 20, 9,000; level 50, 486,000; level 100, 1,586,000.
Ranks stay in English: 2 New Arrival, 5 Fresh Face, 10 Popular Pet, 20 It Pet.
How do friends and visits work?
Add friends by username in “My friends” (account menu); their homes appear in the friends bar after you reload. You can only visit friends, and the “Invite friends” button opens nothing.
Each friend counts once a day, and a visit gives 10 experience plus coins: 50 for each of the first 50 visits of the day, then 25 and 15.
What about the tutorial, the workshop and problems?
The tutorial pays 30 coins per rewarded task and keeps the town door locked until done; finishing it end to end is unconfirmed. Clicking the lost animal pays coins (30 in our test). The “Pet Workshop” (hammer) has “Craft” and “Collaborative” tabs, and we have not confirmed that a collaborative object can be finished.
If something fails, use “Reload the game” in the account menu, then open a “Game bug” ticket from “Support and tickets” with a screenshot.

Frequently asked questions about how to play Pet Society
How do I start playing Pet Society?
Go to petsociety.fbgamesweb.com, press “Create my pet”, make an account with a username and password and design your pet. Then drag an apple from the chest onto it: the Pet Society tutorial asks you to feed your pet first, before anything else.
How many coins do you start with in Pet Society?
You start with 5,000 coins, 0 cash and level 1, with the rank “Getting Started”. Coins pay for your first purchases in the town shops, and every level you gain in Pet Society gives you another 100 coins plus a reward.
How do you feed your pet in Pet Society?
Open the chest and drag the food onto your pet. In Pet Society it eats only when it is hungry; if it refuses, try another activity, such as petting it or playing ball. Eating raises its health and gives you experience points, which move your level bar forward.
How do I earn coins and experience in Pet Society?
By caring for your pet (petting, cleaning, playing ball or rope), visiting friends’ homes, leveling up and finding the lost animal. Each activity in Pet Society stops paying when its stat reaches the maximum, until that stat drops again over time.
How many levels does Pet Society have?
One hundred, from level 1, “Getting Started”, to level 100, “24 Carat Superstar”. Every level in Pet Society gives 100 coins and a reward, and some levels bring new rooms, such as the second garden at level 9. The experience needed grows with each level.
How do I add friends in Pet Society?
Open “My friends” in the account menu and type your friend’s username. Their home appears in the friends bar once you reload the game. The “Invite friends” button in Pet Society opens nothing, so do not count on it; only friends can be visited.
How do I decorate my house in Pet Society?
Take furniture out of the chest, drag it into the room and save with the floppy disk. The hammer switches on build mode, to move or pick up objects. In Pet Society your decoration is still there after you reload the page, so nothing is lost.
How do I change the language of Pet Society?
Use the flag button in the game, which opens the “Choose language” dialog with eight flags: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Danish, Swedish and Dutch. Pet Society has no Portuguese, Russian or Chinese interface, so pick one of those eight.
