In Dogz 3, you can select a dog, name it, adopt it, and then take it home to your desktop and watch it grow day by day. In this version, several new breeds have been added. You can also dress your mutts in a variety of clothing including hats, sweaters, and pants.
This version also supports several different backgrounds including a kitchen, a backyard, a living room, and more. Take your pet to the different rooms and watch the fun. All of the rooms have some new features also, and you can light the fire in the living room and put items in the kitchen refrigerator.

Play Dogz 3: Your Virtual Petz on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Dogz 3: Your Virtual Petz on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
