This is the complete vmigo guide ! I hope you enjoy it ;)

First things you must know :

Sleep mode is automatically initiated after several minutes of non-activation. You can press any button to wake it back up.

It takes 3 AAA batteries. I find them running out frequently.

To reset , go to the qestion mark ( located on the right side and go to options. scroll to system settings and press factory reset.

Congradulations on your new dog - IT NEEDS YOU!

There is nothing better than owning your very own doggie. It come with responsibility . It can be fun to. A vmigo will give you endless hours of fun.

When you first open your vmigo. press te ( ? ) on the side to get out of the try me mode. You will be asked the time , date , favorite color ( I dont know why ) , your name and your birthday. Then you can pick a dog. One of the dogs will be more that you can afford , and two of them you will be able to buy. The breed of dogs have their own traits. Once you pick a dog , you will ba able to name it.

When you get to the house , you will be in the living room. The living room is a good place to relax. There are 4 things you can do here.

turn the tv on and off - the puppies often get scared of this and the radio ( both loud noises. )

Turn the radio on and off

Sit in front of the fire place

Send your doggie to bed.

In every room in the house , there will be a meter at the top of the screen. It has a emotion face to show what start ur dog is in.

checking your dog's status

To check your puppy's stat , press B the the >. It should show :

------ is not hungry

------ is thirsty

------- is entertained

------ is wide awake

------- could be cleaner

------- could go to the toilet

------- is feeling a bit nervouse.

This way you will know how to care for him/her.

press A again and you can see how your puppy/dog is developing.

Pod Activities :

Pedometer : when you walk , your dog can feel it ( use the belf clip to attach it to your pants ) it counts your steps. for every 10 steps , you get one point. For every 100 , you get 10.

Calender : Set the alarm , etc.

Connect vmigos

Go Out : Go to the salon , the store , the vet , trick competition , disc catch , river bouce , the kennels , Training school ,

goining to town

The salon : when you go to the salon you can buy clothing , OR get yours dogs teeth done , fur groomed , get a sweet smell , or have their nails trimmed.

Vet : When you go to the vet you can pay 20 pp ( pet points ) to get advice , have your dog " healed " for free when its sick. and pay lots of money to have it vaccinated.

Store : You can buy toys , brush , food , etc from the store. Sometimes they go on a lunch break. Other times they have sales !

Kennels : go here if you want another dog.

Training school : get a mood boost ( Up one of your dogs mood ) , or buy a new trick!

Disc catch : enter your dog in a disc compete! ( only adult dogs ) use the arrows to move and press A to catch disc by jumping.

River bouce : move the dog to get the ball over the water as it bounces of of him/her

Trick competition : Show of you dog's tricks.

-----

When you go to A and puch the up arrow . Ther are 4 things to do.

The bone I con is to feed treats ( if you run out , can buy more for 30 PP at the store ). If you do it correctly , you get 20 PP. The bone will move. press a to drop it when its over your dogs mouth.

The brush icon to to brush your dog. you need to buy the brush first for 80 pet points. when you do that. the letters A and B will appear. Its hard to explain this. When a appears press A , when B appears , press B. Doing this correctly will give you 20 pet Ps.

To call your dog . Press the speech bubble icon . It will just come up to the screen. it will get its attention.

the last one is the hand icon on the left. Press this to pet your dog.

go back to the main dog screen. press A again and then press down ( I dont know what that icon is but it looks like a whistle. ) click this to go over the tricks your dog ( or puppy ) knows.

the other icon is on the right. its a pic of building blocks. use it to play with the toys you bought.

The one of the left ( that looks like a house ) is to go to the fire plac e, tv , etc like I talk about.

THE KITCHEN

In the kitchen , you can go to the sink , the dish washer , the food bowl , and the water bowl.

The sink and dish washer your dog just watches.

After your dog drinks its water , it will want to go to the bathroom. It might even scratch on the door. ok , MOVING TO THE BACK YARD! ( other wise known as the garden)

GARDEN

You can do all the same things except the < ( house ) icon. You can let your dog use the bathroom , hear the outside sounds , play in the sprinkler , or see the bird fountain. After your dog goes to the bathroom , give a treat . if your out of them , pet them. sometimes when your puppy hears outside noises , it gets scared. like the tv or the radio.

What are pet points?

pet points are like money. you use them to buy things.!

-------

You dog usually ages in 2 days. them you can enter contests. It will get bigger in pounds and height ( seen in the status ).

OPTIONS : click the ( ? ) and go to options. there you can turn off the sound , turn off the thought bubble ( cant see what ur dog is thinking ) , turn the back light off , ( no blue light ) , turn off the bark mode , and system setting.

System setting : you can adjust the time

adjust the date

and reset the whole game!

what is bark mode?

Sometimes , when your vmigo is off ( fully in sleep mode ) you will hear it bark. If you respnd quickly , you will get pet points.

why do people turn the bark mode off some people dont like the noise. They want it off , and kept off for a reason.

extra note : the amount of pp's you have is shown at the top right corner of the screen , the time is shown at the bottom.

( now they have cat vmigos . But I dont know much about them. )

(Dr.Tama and  Squidward is cool)Ok, I am getting a V-migo soon (like tomorow), and, as a anyone would, I have some questions.

Can vmigos get sick? Yes. You will be inmformed by the vet through mail in the TV. Your pet's thing will be empty and the needs do not go up. All you have to do is go to the vet and press "Heal" and your pet will be fine

Can you take them for a walk? Yeah. It's a special walk mode. It's not like Nintendogs. There's a built-in pedometer. You go in to walk mode and either use the clip, clip it on, and walk around or you could just shake the pod slowly up and down to increase steps. Every 10 steps gets you 1 PetPoint

Can you groom them? Yes. You either pay the Groomer to clean fur or the Traner guy to bring cleanness up, or for about 75 PetPoints (you need to check your store on the pod) you can buy a brush. It's like a game on the pod where you press the correct buttons to brush your pet. It's very easy and it gets you 20 PP everytime you brush your pet successfully. On the TV you just see it get brushed.

Are there special events? Sorta. On your birthday or I think a special evet (holidays, ect) there's a special hunt you can do on the TV. You dig up a prize to add to your collection of stuff. You can't play with it though.

Do they age? Yeah. When you first have them, their puppies. You can't do a lot with them. But after 2 days, they morph into adults and they'll stay like that for the rest of eternity. You can do mores stuff with them when they're adults. If you want, you can cheat with the date and set it back if you can't wait 2 days.

Do you have to set the date and time? Yes. You need to. Sometimes the date and time mess up. so it's a good idea to check your calender and date once in a while. You can also set alarms on the calender for any day of the year. One alarm a day though

Are there games? Yes. In the TV, there are dream games. Bowl flying game, Sniffing Bones game, catching Bones game, and (Golden Retriever pod) Jumping game (OR) (Chihuahua pod) Chasing Bone game. On the pod and TV there are 3 games. The Trick Competetion where you perform tricks as fast as you can, the Disc catsch agme where you catch passing discs, and the Ball game where in the river, you bump balls across. They are much easier to do on the pod. There are two games that you can do on the pod, but in order to do it, you need the items required. The feeding bones game is where you need to feed a treat and not miss to your dog. You get 20 PP by winning this. Then there's the brush game where you need to brush your pet successfully. You need to buy a brush from the store. You get 20 PP by winning this.

Here's what you win:

Dream Games: PetPoints and maybe a broze, silver, or gold medal!

Games that you can play on pod & TV: No PP, but a shiny trophy if you win the level!

Pod only games: 20 PP if successful

Can they do tricks? Yep. You get three tricks at first but to perform them, go into trick mode. To do more tricks and enter the trick competetion, you pet must be a grown up to enter and you need to buy tricks from the Trainer guy. At first, you need to reach "Beg". When you finish the level, you can go to the guy and buy another trick to enter the next level. Keep doing this to win the trick competion!

Do you have any tips? Please help me get off to a good start with my V-migo!

Well, I do have a few tips on hand. A good idea is to definatly get the brush. So whenever your broke and need money to feed your pet, just play the game multiple times to win cash to feed your pet! Plus, it's very easy and a great way to get PP! It also helps you buy all the stuff in the shops, and buy a new puppy! Oh and I don't reccommend vaccination. It's expensive, plus it makes it harder to take care of your pet! Running your pet to the vet is very easy and it makes them happier! With vaccination, you need to keep feeding your pet constantly and your on your own with that. When they get sick, just run them over to the vet and bam they're better and they are immidiatly at full healt almost always. Except when you were digging or doing tricks. But just pull your brush out and you can afford to get your pet food and to get it cleaned up!

Also, when your bored at night, read your Vmigo instruction booklet! It's very helpful! Also make sure to check out www.vmigo.com! It's packed with information and tips and it talkes about everything in the game! Don't even bother going to the official Vmigo forum. It's not moderated, abandoned, and all they talk about is dating! Um, weird!

Remember, the game has tips inside it and the nice people of your town will help you! Every owner gets on to a good start and learns more about the game on the way! It says he is 0 years old but he is really 3.. What should I do?

It's normal. The thing is glitchy. A good idea is to check your calender's date. Usually the Vmigo grows up in two days. Is your Vmigo grown up? A very good idea is to check the calender. Is the date correct? If not, change your settings. (Located when you press the question mark)

My v-migo gets sick ALOT and I take perfect care of him! What happened?

It's totally normal. It happens to all Vmigo owners. Just run him over to the vet and it will be fine!

How do I stop playing a game?

If your dying to quit, press the question mark and hit "Quit"

I'm broke and I need money to help my vmigo! Help!

Your Vmigo will be fine. Just go into walkmode and try and get 700-800 steps. Or if your on the TV, play a dream game. It's an easy 10 points to go 30 seconds without crashing mostly. Or, just play the cathching game or the climbing/chasing game. Then buy a brush and you'll always have money!

My vmigo got sick! Help!

DO NOT WORRY. Just bring your dog over to the vet and he'll cure 'em for free! No charge! And in just a blink of an eye he's done!

My vmigo can't connect!

After a long time, I have figured it it. It's not like Tamagotchis where you can press both at the same time. It's designed where one pet can accept at a time. Have one person accept first, the system will wait, then accept so they can recognize eachother. You'll have a suucessful connect!

Do Vmigos die, run away, or anything else where you never see them again?

Nope. Jakks Pacific got the clue. The only way they leave you forever is if you hit any reset resource (the Factory Reset option or the Reset button on back). But you will never need to hit that button!

All my points and items that I earned on the TV are gone!

Because you didn't save! All you have to do if you want to quit is hit the question mark, go to the settings part, and hit "Remove Pod Safely" and it will tell you when it is safe to remove your pod!

My screen went blank!

Your Vmigo just went into sleep mode! Just press A or B!

What's this "belt clip" the manual speaks of?

Every Vmigo comes with a belt clip that you can hook on! Maybe it's still in your package. It's usually on the bottom. It's a plastic piece that clips on to the square hole things on the pod.

My Vmigo's batteries just died!

Take as long as you need. Your pod will be safe. Just replace it with AAA batteries (3). Just remember not to:

Mix old and new batteries.

Use rechargeable batteries.

Dispose batteries in fire.

And whatever else the instruction booklet tells you not do do with them.

The batteries die so much!

That's what you get with AAAs. They die fast.

DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT www.vmigo.com AND YOUR INSTRUCTION BOOKLET. THEY ARE VERY HELPFUL. IF YOU NEED IMMIDIATE HELP, JUST PRESS THE QUESTION MARK FOR SOME INFORMATION (THIS DOES NOT WORK IN GAMES).

IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, JUST LET ME KNOW.
You can also ask me ;)

Does sombody now how to get money realy fast and easy? I want to get 2 dogs, but they cost 5000 points each!

 
I'd never heard of these. After reading your post, I googled them and read up. They do seem like fun. I was surprised they weren't more expensive. They 'sounded' more expensive. I just wish they had more dog choices. I'm not into Chihuahuas. The others were... Golden Retrievers, Black Labs, Pug-Poodle cross?, and a Yorkie or something like that, right? Out of those, I guess I'd choose a Black Lab. But I'd much rather have a Jack Russell Terrier, Daschund or Dalmatian. Maybe if I do eventually decide to buy one, they will have those breeds.

Thanks so much for the info! :(

 
danieeel971: Buy the brush in the store and use it a lot.

Suzanne Sky: They have the Golden Retriever, Yorkie, German Shepard, Chihuahua, Black Lab, Puggle (Pug/Beagle Mix), and now they have a cat version with 3 cats. (No clue what cats they are.)
