FrontierVille Pet Shop Goals: Everything you need to know

Remember that old puppy you rescued and nursed back to health in FrontierVille? Well, good going, because he told all of his friends about you and now they all expect a home and food. If you associate Spring with all things cute (like myself), Zynga released a brand new building to the game in time for the season: The Pet Shop. Of course, a new series of five Goals is bundled in the content package, so join us behind the break to find out what lies ahead.

*Please keep in mind that you need to be at least Level 20 to begin these Goals. Sorry, newbies.

1. Heavy Petting

    Place the Pet Shop on your Homestead
    Tend 20 Geese on your Homestead
    Hire 2 neighbors


Pet ShopThis first Goal will take some time if you don't have close to 20 Geese, which cost 300 coins a piece. The Pet Shop will cost a measly 100 coins and 20 Wood to place, but we're sure the expenses will come later. To hire your friends, just click on their portrait on the bottom half of the game screen and click "Hire." Follow the on screen instruction, and it's that simple. Finish this Goal for 200 XP and some Chunky Chow.

2. Tell Me About the Rabbits

    Harvest 20 Wheat on your homestead
    Harvest 20 Corn on your homestead
    Collect 15 Flea Powders


This second mission in the series will take some time, for sure. The 20 Wheat will cost you 7,300 coins and take at least 24 hours to harvest, while the 20 Corn will run you 4,500 coins and take at least 12 hours to harvest. So, either way this Goal will take a whole day if you don't have any Boosts. This is fine considering you have to collect 15 Flea Powders by asking your friends through the Goal window. This Goal will reward you with 100 Food and one Goldfish.

3. Sick as a Dog

    Have or Collect one Chicken Broth
    Have or Construct one Comforter
    Collect one Doghouse Daily Bonus


The Chicken Broth is part of the Chicken Collection, so this could take a while, if you're unlucky. The Comforter is crafted in the Chicken Coop using 15 Cloth and one Downy Feather, which can be found as a reward for completing the entire Chicken Coop Collection. So, sit tight on this one it's going to take a while. If you don't have a Doghouse already, you must build one and collect its Daily Bonus once to finish the Goal. Do this and enjoy one more Chunky Chow and a Lizard in Aquarium as your reward.

More Puppies!
4. Animal House

    Clobber 2 Groundhogs
    Clobber 2 Snakes
    Collect 10 Marrow Bones


This Goal could easily be the toughest, especially considering how tough it can be to find Critters at times. Harvest lots of Potatoes for Groundhogs to appear more frequently. As for Snakes, just keep clearing that debris and eventually two will pop up. The 10 Marrow Bones are gifts that you must request from friends, which is something we're all familiar with. This Goal rewards players with 250 XP and a Dog Crate.

5.Puppies, Puppies, Puppies

    Complete the Pet Shop
    Purchase a new Puppy in the Pet Shop
    Get the Puppy to follow you


Finally, it's time to complete the Pet Shop, which you can read all about right here. Then, it's time to buy your first Puppy from the Pet Shop and get it to follow. All of these tips are available in this post. Complete this Goal and receive 250 XP and a Bunny in a Hutch. Enjoy the herd of pets you've just tacked onto your family.

Building the FrontierVille Pet Shop: Everything you need to know

Who doesn't love puppies? No one, that's who. If you were hoping more was to come from that old Basset Hound in the Doghouse, you're in luck. Zynga has introduced the Pet Shop to FrontierVille, and there are three breeds to purchase and befriend. Sure, this sounds pretty awesome, but you need to build the thing first. Find out how after the break.

You'll unlock access to the Pet Shop upon taking on the first Goal in the series, which can be found right here. Placing it costs a mere 100 coins and 20 Wood. However, it will take nine Whacks at one Energy and seven Wood a piece to complete the building's foundation. After that, this building's menu will appear, demanding the following items:

    15 Kennels
    15 Dog Beds
    10 Scratching Posts
    10 Litter Boxes
    10 Aquariums
    1 Pet Crate


The 15 Kennels and Dog Beds are acquired by asking friends directly through the window menu, while the Scratching Posts, Litter Boxes and Aquariums are found through posting News Feeds about them through the same menu. However, you will not be able to complete the Pet Shop until completing the final Goal in the series, "Animal House." Find out how to complete that mission right here, and enjoy your flashy new Pet Shop.

Puppies in the future
At the moment, Puppies will simply follow you around the Homestead and rest in the Doghouse once purchased. However, Zynga plans to add plenty more functions to the little pups in due time. Here are all eight Puppies you can find in the Pet Shop, along with their astronomical prices:

    Chocolate Lab: 60,000 Coins
    Brown Husky: 100,000 Coins
    Sable Collie: 100,000 Coins
    Black Husky: 30 Horseshoes
    Black Collie: 100,000 Coins
    Black Lab: 18 Horseshoes
    White Husky: 24 Horseshoes
    Grey Collie: 30 Horseshoes
    Yellow Lab: 100,000 Coins


Now that you've spent all time and money putting this thing together, I guess you have no choice but to drop another 60 thousand on a Puppy. Have fun making that up that loss. Hey, at least they're cute and will learn things later on--consider this an investment.
