My two children - aged 3 and 5 - love this toy. They wanted a real puppy - which was out of the question. But this little dog absolutely did the trick (minus the mess and the walking duties!). They adore the interaction and the growing spurts are magical to them. They also love bringing it back down to size so that it can be a puppy again.
The batteries are still working fine after 3 months which is pretty good going considering how much it's been played with.
An ideal toy - it satisfies all the things kids want from a pet without the hassle parents dread!

Puppy might not know your child's name

I bought two Puppies that Grow for my 4 yr old twin girls. They had seen commercials on tv and knew what the dogs were supposed to do. For the most part, they love them, but we had two problems. The first was that the girls wanted the puppies to know their names; when we tried to program them, one of my daughters' names was on the list that the puppy has preprogrammed to learn, my other daughter's name was not. It was such a bummer to tell her that her puppy will never "know" her name. Then, on top of that, the batteries in her puppy were low when the dog arrived so her dog never grew! It took me a while to figure out that that was the problem b/c the dog sang and moved its head and wagged its tail; it just never grew! So one of our puppies was growing day by day and the other just stayed little. I felt so sorry for my one daughter. We did replace the batteries after a few days and that worked.

Not all proported to be from "professional" toy reviewers.

Perhaps there is something wrong with our puppy?
"Professional" toy reviews I read on this toy said that there were questions in the personalization program that we were never asked for when personalizing our puppy (we only had to name the puppy and enter our child's name. That's all it ever asked for. Reviewers claim it asks for birthday, friends names and other things as well!).
Our puppy also only says one phrase. It doesn't sing, as professional reviews have stated it would. Nor does it have any phrases other than "Hi (child's name) I'm so happy to see you."
I thought it should at least wag it's tail or move it's head a little in response to petting, grooming and playing with it (would have been a cute feature if it had). It just says one phrase and grows a little every day. It quickly became a boring and disappointing toy to my DD.
I'm sincerely hoping mine is broken.

Help with 'name' downloading
16 Dec 2007
If you get a MSVCR80.dll error message trying to load the CD with Puppy Grows... you will need to uninstall or remove Windows Defender from the Add/Remove Programs on your Control Panel. Got these instructions off an MSDN forum page; once I uninstalled Windows Defender, the CD loaded and I was able to download the names of my child and the puppy in under 5 minutes. You will need an A to B USB cable... if you have a card reader, or some other similar device then you can use the USB cable that comes with that equipment(not a camera USB cable), if not, you'll have to buy the cable separately.
