;KEY FEATURES
'''Create cats and dogs.''' Use the powerful Create A Pet tool to customize your Sims’ perfect cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens. Choose from a variety of breeds, give them distinct personalities, and directly manipulate their features. Easily personalize their coats with unique patterns to create your real-life pets, dream pets, or something more fanciful. For the first time, complete their looks with expressive outfits and accessories.
'''Bond with your pets.''' Experience the companionship and fun that furry friends bring to your Sims’ lives. Cats and dogs have minds of their own and form special relationships with Sims based on their daily interactions. Your Sims care for, train, and play games with their pets who all exhibit distinct and sometimes bizarre animal behaviors.
'''Become a vet and run a clinic.''' Build a veterinary clinic, hire a dedicated staff, and further your career as the town’s most promising animal doctor. You’re in control of daily operations from the services offered to what you charge. Your Sims can diagnose and cure pets with critical surgeries or treat fleas and other afflictions with simple medications.
'''Explore [[Brindleton Bay]].''' Discover the coastal shores of Brindleton Bay, a new world where your Sims and their pets can live and enjoy outdoor activities. Play fetch near the harbor docks, take a walk to the lighthouse or visit a park to set up an obstacle course, and meet other pet-loving locals. Be on the lookout for stray pets that your Sims can take in as their own to live with and care for.
==New features==
Line 50:
In ''Cats & Dogs'', Sims can own cats and dogs as pets, which are the main feature of the expansion pack. Unlike previous games, pets cannot be controlled by the player, similarly to ''The Sims 2: Pets'', and there is no cheat that will allow the player to do so. Sims can interact with these pets in various form of ways such as feeding, playing and training, and are able to bond with them through these interactions.
Both pets have three life stages; kitten/puppy, adult and elder. They will live through these life stages like normal Sims, but much shorter. Pets can also [[Death|die]], but only from old age. Both cats and dogs can have three different [[Pet trait (The Sims 4)|pet traits]], which are unique to them and are not available to Sims. These traits control the pets' actions and reactions towards the surrounding world. Some traits have unique attributes for one of the two species, but most traits are identical to one another. After pet ages into elderly cat/dog, they will live from 6 to 11 sim days until they die by old age, it's random for each pet!
Cats and dogs can be created with [[Create a Pet]], and there are many pre-made breeds for them. Players will be able to customize their pets' appearance and even make their own breeds. Create a Pet borrows the same click and drag mechanic from Create a Sim, making players able to sculpt and mold their pets to have more details and features.

==Trivia==
* This is the first expansion pack that lets the player create [[fox]]es and [[raccoon]]s in [[Create a Pet]]. They are considered breeds for dogs and cats, respectively, but with ''(optionally)'' different voices.<ref>[https://simsvip.com/2017/08/22/sims-4-cat-dogs-raccoons-foxes/]</ref>
* This is the first pets themed pack in the main ''The Sims '' series not to include [[small pets]]. Rodents and hedgehogs were later included in ''[[The Sims 4: My First Pet Stuff]]''.
* This is the first pack for ''The Sims 4'' to include a premade same-sex couple living in its bundled world.
* Unlike ''The Sims 3: Pets'', pets are not controllable and unlike ''The Sims 2: Pets'', there is no [[Cheats|cheat]] to make them controllable.
** However, there ''is'' a mod that can [[List_of_mods#selectablepets|make them controllable]] and see their needs and family trees. Albeit in an incomplete state (most moodlets and trait lack icons or text while many interactions have duplicated names).
** This mod only changes a few lines of code, showing that at one point pets were planned to be controllable by the player or were used for debugging purposes.
