I was thinking about this idea, that they could have ferrets maybe a snake and some other unique animals not just cats an dogs cause obviously not everyone would want a cat or a dog they would want something that match their sins personality, an pet shows for the pets that was be awesome. The Cats & Dogs pack have so much potential to have these things and yet it hasn’t been developed to make it a wonderful pack so simmers wouldn’t get bored- I shouldn’t have to spend my money on something that was half 🐸🐸🐸🐸 I need more passion into this game.
They also need to desperately look at their models for certain breeds for cats and dogs. The Dachshund is a perfect example for this. The in game breed looks NOTHING like a sausage dog... It annoys me to bits.
Many people take excellent care of their cats & dogs, so it would make sense to add it ingame:
New services:
Pet sitter - NPC service option; hired to care for pet on home lot
Pet groomer - NPC service option; to perform pet cleaning or spa services on home lot
Pet boarding - rabbit hole to send pets while sims are on vacation or at work
Updated items:
Pet Care Lot type - community lot to replace vet clinic
Pet Care Center - vet clinic renovation to include grooming section
Better grass terrain in Brindleton - it's a beautiful world, but the ground is so weird
New items:
Additional Harness - a new style w/ different patterns
Retractable leash - to change the distance your pet walks
Pet bathing station - for pet grooming & helps sims develop pet training skill
Grooming kiosk - for grooming services on pet care lots; used to create pet grooming shop
Also agree with the outdoor dog house. Was really surprised we didn't get one.

EXACTLY!!! Our long bois aren't long enough.
Hey, I'm Milo (he/him)! I love The Sims 4, and I've been playing it since December of 2020. My Sims bestie and forums bestie is Gonnawin1111, aka V.
I'd like to see dog houses, water bowls and to control your pets (not the mod). I'd like them to do away with obsessions and fears. The short, medium and long walks with dogs needs to be fixed to work properly. That's about all I can think of that I'd like to see for a refresh.
It would be cool if sims were able to foster cats or dogs for a while until they find a new "home"
heyyyy i'm v ツ I'm Gonnawin1111 on the gallery too. My bestie is hymnhehim/hymnofheroes/milo ツ I love using smileys like : ) but on the forums they become
Water bowl
more pet
More pet furniture
Walking with more pet. If you have two dog, you have to go to walk twice bc you can't take two of them as same time
Wish more Recipe/harvestable/woodwork/craftableWish live in businessWish more interactive between sims and activityWish a lot of refresh and Better resize pleaseWish for another colour upgrade swatchWish for pool sliderFix the bug please
I want more lots in Brindleton Bay if they do refresh Cats & Dogs. Also, I want the pets to not be counted as part of the 8 household members, it's too limited.
I have only two main wishes:
Kids being able to take a dog out for a walk.
More small pets and being able to care for frogs, insects and fishes +bigger terrariums for them.

It's a nice idea! I think you can do this already if you adopt a dog or a cat and play with them for sometime and then transfer them to another household, for example, an uplayed townie Of course there aren't any in-game messages or notifications that would describe what is happening, so it's not entirely the same as having the actual game feature.

Agreed 100% they could have made just a little more of an effort to get some breed standards correct.

I'd like to see dog houses added I'm still annoyed a Guru said he did not like them so we did not get them. Something else I'd like to see is strays in every world not just the one the pack they came with I'm over mini games expand all worlds with so called "expansions" they really are not expanding much.
Birds and a more detailed tropical fish tank would be nice the one we have now is so boring and low quality wish they would just update it with more options and higher quality fish and design .
Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"
Controlable pets!!!😭😭😭
That alone would bring this pack up to a 10 for me. Right now I barely play with them because they literally take up a slot and I have no control of them. Would live to have pet adventures.
If they were to add new dog breeds (Hungarian Puli and Komondor) at this stage, then I'd finally purchase Cats & Dogs. I can't really see it happening though, so I'll probably continue to do without.
I am NOT part of anything in EA and I'm just a player. I try my best to answer questions in the Sims forums, and showing info about the Sims, even posting answers and thoughts of feedback! I have been playing the Sims 4 for 2 years.

Honestly, Pets in general need a loooooooot of reworks- the pack is honestly... a bit lackluster in how the pets were handled, in a lot of ways- especially when it comes to their genetics and CAS, and the fact that you can't breed unique pets anymore like you could in TS3- there are no markings, only preset coats or painted coats, and the painted coats don't have layers or anything, so your pets basically only have the default designs or a painted one to choose from, with no real variation.
Painting on pets is nice and all, but The Sims 3 had WAY better pet genetics, with individual marking layers etc, and you could actually create animals that looked unique and different.
The Sims 4 could improve on this by completely reworking how pet coats work in CAS- they could take the current coats that exist now, and make them "preset coats" that won't break existing pets that use them, and add entirely new customization features for a custom coat, with markings layers, individual marking colors, etc like what existed in TS3, /and/ give the painting system a rework with multiple layers that can pass on genetically, allowing for someone to custom paint multiple different markings on different layers, and have it random which markings carry over onto the offspring, instead of the "all or nothing" system that exists currently.
It would make pets so much more interesting just to be able to see that visual variation in their markings and colors, and make breeding more genuinely fun.
It would also be nice to get more types of coat length for pets, too, and some slider improvements. More pet personality traits would also be nice.
I really want dog houses! I bugs me that they weren‘t added in Sims 4 because every other pets expansion before had them and I want an outdoor cabin for my pets

Oh, I love this! Gameplay, cuteness, and challenge, all rolled into one amazing idea.
