Tamagotchi - The first virtual pet

Apps for Virtual Pets

Anyone who was a child or teenager in the mid-1990s probably had or heard of Tamagotchi. The virtual pet in the form of a keychain became a craze and still attracts crowds today. And with the modernization of smartphones, it is very easy to find similar games to Tamagotchi for Android or Apple phones.

Here are some examples:

Cthulhu Virtual Pet

Available for Android and IOS, this is one of the favorite games when it comes to Tamagotchi. In Cthulhu Virtual Pet, you can create your pet in the “God of Chaos” version based on the work of H.P. Lovecraft, as the options are small tentacled monsters that want to destroy cities and terrorize people’s lives to be happy. The app is free and worth trying!

My Tamagotchi Forever

The more modern version from Bandai Namco, the creator of Tamagotchi, has a pixelated design that resembles its older sibling. In this app, your virtual pet will need care for health and food, as well as rest and fun. You can customize your pet to explore the city of Tamatown in style. My Tamagotchi Forever is also free, with versions for IOS and Android.

Neko Atsume

Virtual app for cat lovers. Neko Atsume is free, and its goal is to distribute toys, furniture, and cardboard boxes in your virtual house or yard so that different cats come to interact when they visit you. There are more than 40 different types of cats (including some very rare ones) that can appear if you have the right item to attract them.

Dogotchi

Now it’s time for dog lovers. Dogotchi has cute, pixelated puppies to maintain the 90s look. In this gameplay, you will feed, clean, and take care of their health. The difference here is that the app allows you to switch from dogs to cats or wild animals. Everything is available for iPhone and Android. Each dog will have its own set of mini-games. Completely free, it unlocks 3 breeds initially and unlocks two more as your first animals reach adulthood.

My Boo

With a more modern look, My Boo follows the same line as the original Tamagotchis. Its colorful ball can be customized in a simple and intuitive way. Also free, the annoying part of this app is that ads occasionally appear in the middle of the game.

Apps for Real Pets

Anyone who has a dog or cat at home knows that they need to ensure their safety and quality of life at all times. [trp_language language=”pt_BR”] Many people think that having a protection screen for cats in the window of their apartment is the maximum security they will need to keep their feline safe, but that is just the basics.

And with that, technology also works in our favor to ensure apps that make our daily care for our furry friends easier. Shall we see some of them?

Pet Wallet

This app is amazing for you to keep track of your pets’ health. In it, you register the basic information of your pet and can see in the palm of your hand the entire history of vaccinations and exams of your pet. Pet Wallet has options for Android or IOS.

Dogo

How about training your pet with the help of technology? Dogo offers training options that are developed after you answer a questionnaire about the animal. Available for IOS and Android, it will show you how to teach new tricks and commands to your friend.

MeowTalk

Want to translate the sound of your cat’s “meow”? That’s the proposal of MeowTalk. It uses artificial intelligence to record different meows from your feline and thus develops corresponding choices for each sound. It’s pretty cool and worth checking out.

Pets by Spotify

This is not exactly an app, but rather a special playlist that will synchronize music that you and your pet enjoy based on a questionnaire, thus creating a unique sound experience for both.

PetDriver

Did you know that there is a special app for transporting pets? Pet Driver is the “Uber for Pets” and in it, the drivers take your pet to pet shops, clinics, and even hotels. All vehicles are adapted for this, with transport boxes and special seat belts for the animal’s safety. And you can even schedule your trip in advance. Amazing, isn’t it?

Pet Booking

Don’t want to send your pet in a car app? There is the same option with caretakers for that walking trip. Pet Booking has a rating system and exclusive promotions, and its partners/caretakers can take your pet to veterinary clinics or pet shops. All in a responsible and calm manner.

Relax my Dog/Cat

This app is widely used around major events or during New Year’s Eve, where pets suffer a lot from the noise of fireworks and firecrackers. Relax my Dog is a virtual tool that offers music at an ideal frequency for your cats and dogs, thus working on the animal’s anxiety and keeping them calmer.

Conclusion

Did you see how the app market for pets is thriving in Brazil? Whether for virtual or real pets, there is a huge selection of apps available on the market. This sector, in fact, was one of the few that managed to maintain its growth rate, even during the pandemic.

With an increase of approximately 30%, it is a market that promises to gain more and more space in Brazilian lands and around the world.

Most of these apps are free, so just download and try! If you know of any other cool app for pets or Tamagotchi that is not on our list, leave a comment below!
