hints for early stages of levels

I just thought i'd share some tips for people who struggle to get through the earlier stages of each level without getting high scores. i played with lots of different strategies and found this one the best for many levels.

the first stage of each level is hard without upgrades, but once your past that and can get upgrades i recommened going for the treats first followed by the podium if u have enough. dont worry if u only have one of each station it still works fine.

start by building up hearts by using the podium, (and treats for impatient animals) then only go through the line with either cats of dogs first (whatever u have the most of). so u can build a huge chain of cats in one go while running back to the podium to keep the dogs happy etc. this way u build up a chain and table match for both cats and dogs with only one table.

adding the treadmill as soon as possible also builds up points quickly. (again u only need one at first if u do dogs and cats seperately.) then start upgrading the stations to a higher level, if u dont have much money, just upgrade the ones u have and dont buy anymore til your further along the game and keep to the same tactics as u get more money for the more upgraded stations. so its best to have high upgrades for only one station then two of each that are low upgrades.

another tip, if your aiming for a very high score and u mess up a level half way through, u should restart it. (ie if u lose a pet or accidentally put a slow cat down on a station and an impatient one pops up and u wont have time to keep it happy.
the animals always seem to come in the same order (the type of patience dogs and cats anyway) although what they require may change. a lot depends on what they want as to how high a score u can get. if lots want a wash, you can get a good chain at the wash basin. again, u can restart the level to try for better requests if necessary.

hope this helps. im not very good at explaining things sometimes! sorry! :)

ps my score after trying for days is 546785. i bought the game from somewhere else though so it doesnt show up that im a playfirst member on the score board on here.

Thanks for the tips Buddles. Great score by the way! When I have the time, I want to work on improving mine.

i just put cats at one side and the dogs on the other
