“The draw behind ZhuZhu Puppies is the idea that kids can finally own the pet that their mothers would never let them have, “ states Russ Hornsby, CEO of Cepia LLC. “And migrating this play pattern to Nintendo DS is an obvious natural expansion.”

With this new game, Zhu-natics will enter into a world of pure puppy fun.  They’ll have the opportunity to bond with their ZhuZhu by walking, feeding, and bathing it-just like a real pet. Players, who successfully care for their pup, receive allowances, with which they can then spend at the virtual pet store as their well-deserved reward.

Players will find plenty of games, sing-a-longs, and adventures to choose from with their pooch. An outfit customization component is integrated into the game so kids of all ages will not only adore the company of man’s best friend, but dressing their pup in their favorite fashions too! 

For a limited time only, Freckles, the adorable puppy character, will be offered as an added incentive in exclusive bundle packages.
