The Sims 2: Pets is the next expansion pack in The Sims 2 franchise as well as a stand-alone game for several console systems. On July 22nd, 2006 EA added it to its product line-up at the EA store. Maxis is making the life simulation game for EA on PC, PS2, GameCube, PSP, DS, and GBA.
Features for pets include genetics for pets to inherit, careers and tricks. Check out the entire features list below:

* Sims Have Pets – Your Sims can share a lifetime with their pets. Sims can adopt dogs, cats, birds, and more.
* Create-A-Pet – Choose from dozens of dog and cat breeds, or customize features for a unique pet and then pick their personalities.
* Pets Have Genetics – Cross different breeds to create designer pets or make new ones and register them to appear in Create-A-Pet as a unique pedigree.
* Sit, Spike, Sit – Your Sims can encourage and discipline pets, training them to shake, play dead, and more. Unruly pets might dig in the yard, claw the sofa, topple the trash, or surprise their Sims in other ways, but Sims can change their pets’ ways with the right training.
* Pets Have Careers – Now your Sims aren’t the only ones bringing home the bacon! Skilled pets can earn a living from three career tracks – Show Business, Security, and Service – and work their way up through five job levels.
* Friends for a Lifetime – Your Sims’ pets are members of the family and share all of lifes great moments – whether it’s kids training puppies, teens playing fetch in the park, adults watching TV with their cats, or elders enjoying a sunny day in park with their long-time companion.
* Show off Your Pets – Share your favorite Sim pets with other The Sims 2 Pets players through the exchange.
