Well after 5 days, and repeating it over 100 times, I finally did it! So I can assure you all that haven't got there yet, that yes, it is possible. It's actually easier than what would seem to be the obvious way to get there and most of these tips have already been posted in some form or another. Here's what to do. Focus on keeping full hearts, not swaping. Of course, get to the poodles and siamese first, but try to keep only a few animals on the floor at a time (around 4), leave the rest in line and keep going to the stage to make them happy. Moving the animals quickly from station to station will help keep their hearts up and hopfully, when you seat them at the last station they will ask for the treadmill. If they don't, then give them treats and they will. Animals need 5 hearts to ask for the treadmill, but once they ask for it they can still loose hearts if you don't put them in there right away. So once an animal asks for the treadmill you must get them in there right away so they will leave with full hearts. Even if waiting a few seconds will allow you to make a swap, sacrifice the swap and just move the animal to the treadmill. Poodles and siamese are most important, if you have one in the treadmill with only 4 1/2 hearts, give it treats to get it to 5 hearts. Sometimes just moving it to the treadmill with get the hearts to 5. The last thing you want is to have pets waiting for the treadmill and keeping only a few animals on the floor at a time will help prevent that. When you take animals that only have to go to one station, take them right after you make them happy at the stage. Once the stage "goes off", get the animal to their station quickly and it will put them to 5 hearts and they will ask for the treadmill, you won't have to use any treats for them. You should also serve them with an animal that needs more than one station. If you do 2 cats at the same time that both want one station, they will both end up wanting the treadmill at the same time, not good. Once you have all pets at the stations, then go to the stage and make them happy. Don't forget to leave the weiner dogs and persian cats to be served last. Thats all I can think of for now, if I remember anything else, I'll post it. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!!

Just thought I should add that this is how I got an expert score, I scored 15,380. I should also mention that Walter is much easier, I was able to get expert with Walter the first time.

thanks Jen, I'm going to try that level again using your advice, I thought it was impossible to get expert.

wooohooo!! it worked. thank you, thank you, thank you Jen.
I'm just missing expert on the last couple of levels, so I'll use your advice on those too.

thanks again Jen, you are a peach, just got expert on all levels thanks to your advice. You deserve a big pat on the back. :)

Mv,
I read the other post first and left you a message there, the one where someone was asking for help with 3-10. What a doozy it was! I got it with Walter the first time but Scarlette was so hard! Once I figured out it was the full hearts that gave all the points I was surprised how much easier it was doing it that way. Before I'd have 6-8 animals on the go, swaping left and right, and thinking that as long as they went in the treadmill it was enough, wrong! Now I 2-4 animals on the go and focus on full hearts, works everytime! I just started Ice Cream Craze, did you try that? I like it, kind of like Stand-o-food but better.

I had assumed everyone would already know, but just in case. You should only have 2 of each station, one for cats and one for dogs. When you can buy 3 of each, don't, you don't need them.
