Executive Producer Rod Humble Says about "The Sims 2 Pets":

"The Sims 2 Pets captures the magic between pets and their owners. A dog gnawing at his chew toy, a cat jumping at a dangled feather, a toddler stroking the chest of a big dog who sits by patiently—even a frisky dog getting caught rolling around in the trash. These special moments all come to life through the lifelike animations and artwork of The Sims 2 Pets."

"The Sims 2 Pets" Features:
