PetVille for Facebook Guide: Tips, Tricks, and FAQ

Brandon Miller
PetVille for Facebook is another great game by Zynga. In the game, players care for their own fully-customizable pet, design and furnish your pets living space, and interact with your Facebook friends who play the game. Here are some tips, tricks, and hints to help you care for you digital pet.

Can I change the appearance of my pet?

Yes, you can change your pets appearance at anytime by clicking on the Makeover tab under the World menu. From here you can change everything from your pet's gender and color to stripe pattern. Once you have made your selections, click the save button.

Tip - Fresh out of ideas? Try clicking the random button. This will give you lots of ideas and combinations to try. Remember, you can always click the cancel button and keep your pet just the way they are.

Where can I get more clothes for my pet?

You start with several default clothing items in your wardrobe. If you would like to purchase more, you can visit the Clothing Store under the World tab. Here you will find three types of clothing - pet fashion, sportswear, and costumes. Once you have purchased a clothing item, it will be added to your wardrobe inventory.

Tip - If you would like your pet to "try on" an article of clothing, click on the item. When the sale confirmation box appears, you will see your pet wearing the item.

How can I earn experience points and coins in PetVille?

Nearly everything you do earns experience points and coins in the game. Feeding and washing your pet, cleaning your PetVille house, and purchasing new items are a few ideas. You can also earn points and coins by visiting and interacting with your Facebook friend's pets.

What is the best way to get more neighbors in PetVille?

When you first start playing PetVille, you should add as many neighbors as possible. First, click on the My Neighbors tab to see which of your friends already play the game. Once you have sent invites to all of the existing PetVille players, you should send invites to your Facebook friends who don't play the game. With any luck, they will accept your request and start playing too.

Tip - If you have already sent all of your friends neighbor requests but still need more, join a Facebook group dedicated to PetVille. You should find lots of people who are also looking for neighbors.

How can I customize my PetVille house?

You can customize just about every aspect of your PetVille house. Click on your storage tab to see what accessories you have in your inventory. If you don't see what you are looking for, you will need to visit one of the shops to purchase what you need. To purchase additional wall designs, flooring, doors, and windows, go to the Hardware Store. All furniture, appliances, and other accessories can be found at the Furniture Store.

Why do I only have one room in my PetVille house?

Your house has four total rooms - living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. When you first start playing the game, your living room is the only accessible room. Once you reach higher levels, more rooms will become available.

When I first started playing PetVille, I was definitely impressed with the concept and graphics. It is definitely one of the best games on Facebook. Hopefully, these tips and tricks are helpful as your master the virtual pet world.
