Gameplay
A virtual pet simulation, play in My Pet Shop is a mix of duties assigned to you at the pet shop by your mother and a search for pets hidden throughout the environments of Green Town. All action occurs during the day, at the end of which you are sent to bed. During active play time you must balance your assigned duties with any help you choose to provide to pet owners, like bathing, walking and training animals. Work done both for your mother and townspeople earns you money which can be used in-game to buy accessories and other items for your own pets. When venturing out of the shop, pets and other items hidden throughout the various areas of the game can be uncovered with the use of the DS Stylus. Once pets are discovered, approaching them carefully and picking them up gently gains their trust allowing players to take take them back to the pet shop. Here they can be cared for through several mini-games and if the player chooses, eventually given away to in-game characters or to fellow My Pet Shop players via a Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. As the game progresses players can also enter their pets in competitions including races, feats of strength and 'cuteness contests.'
