trust trading.

As the number of pets in game increases every couple weeks, the old pets lose value over time.
Competition reported on Oct 6, 2022
Pets that you can ride or fly on are a sign of wealth - those features can only be bought with real money. A player with "poor inventory" - no ride or flying pets - will be called out on it in the game.
Fear of Missing Out reported on Oct 6, 2022
If you don't log in every day, you will lose out on exclusive rewards for having a continuous login streak. The game rewards a 180 day long streak with a special diamond egg.
Aesthetic Manipulations reported on Oct 6, 2022
This game is made for toddlers, young children and teens. It has a colorful aesthetic, simple game play and pop music designed to attract children. Pets in the game get sick, hungry, sleepy and cry demanding attention and manipulate the player into never ending game play.

Some pets are only available via real money purchase.
Complete the Collection reported on Oct 6, 2022
This game is primarily based around collecting pets. There's multiple places (an album, a board) that show how many pets you have and how many more you need to complete the collection. There are always new pets, toys and accessories incoming that make the completion impossible.
Encourages Anti-Social Behavior reported on Oct 6, 2022
There are types of trades ("trust trade") and social games ("pick a door") that some players use to scam, cheat and steal from younger children and new players. A player is scammed into giving away a pet for free with a promise of a greater reward. Which is when the scammer leaves the game forever.
Reciprocity reported on Oct 6, 2022
This game is heavily focused on trading. You can trade pets and accessories with other players. Getting a profitable "good trade" is one of the most addicting features of this game, next to the chance of hatching the rarest pet from an egg.
