The Basics:
Dr. Cares is a time management game that centers around pet care. If you have played any of the Delicious or Fabulous games, you will have a good idea of how it works. If not, be sure to play the excellent tutorial at the beginning of the first level.
Customers order and pay for products. When a customer is waiting to pay you will see an image of bills and coins. The higher the customer happiness, the greater the price paid. Customers with three coins next to the money stack are ecstatic and are paying the highest amount. When a customer becomes mad, no coins will be beside the money. A very angry customer will have a thunder cloud beside their head.
Doing the same action twice or three times in a row (combo or chain) will help you achieve higher scores. Combos can be earned by having two or three orders prepared on your tray, and serving them to the customers without an interruption to do another task. If you serve two in a row, you get a bonus of +10 and a bonus of +15 for three customers in a row. Checking out two in a row gets a bonus of +15; three in a row will gain a bonus of +30. Clean two stations in a row for a bonus of +10; cleaning three in a row earns a bonus of +15. You will earn a bonus of +10 for serving a complete order of two or three products to a customer. There is also a "clean clinic" bonus of +100 that can be earned at the end of the level if all your stations are clean or being cleaned before you check out your last customer.
How to remove an product from your tray: If you make a mistake and put something on your tray that you don't need, click on it and it will be removed from the tray.
The score for the story levels is measured in one, two, or three stars, depending on the amount of points you earn. You will win the level as long as you earn one star. The challenge levels have a set amount that must be met, without the option of earning more than one star.
Tip: If you can't reach three stars on a level, you can change the difficulty to a lower setting under the main menu and retry the level.
Newton:
In some locations, Newton the bird can entertain your pet customers and give them more happiness. To entertain, click on Newton, then on the pet you want entertained. There is a trophy (Party! Party!) to be earned for Newton entertaining 100 pets.
Jack:
In other locations, Jack will be available to entertain.
Mini Games
Many of the medical actions performed will require a mini game. The first time the game occurs, there is a walk through of it. The faster you complete the mini game, the more tip you will earn.
You will earn the trophy Master Vet for getting the highest score (3 coins) on each mini game.
Challenges and Challenge Levels:
All levels have a challenge to be completed, and there are challenge levels to complete. Challenges don't have to be completed in the regular story levels, but add points if you do complete it. Each challenge completed, whether in a challenge level or story level, earns a diamond.
Tip: Sometimes you can't both complete a challenge and get three stars in a story level. If this happens, you can play the level twice: once to complete the challenge and once to reach three stars.
The Mouse:
The mouse will appear in every story level. He will make a squeaky sound, and will appear for a few seconds. Clicking on him will give you a bonus 100 points. I have included a screen shot of his location for every level.
Upgrade Screen
Each location has an upgrade screen which appears before each level. Here you can buy upgrades of your equipment. Click on the object and it will tell what bonus the upgrade will give.
Upgrade money comes from winning the levels: +50 for each star earned on each story level.
You will earn a trophy (Shopping Spree) for purchasing all the upgrades.
Tip: You can complete the first clinic without needing all the upgrades, so save your money for the second location and you can buy most of the upgrades right at the beginning.
Diamonds:
Diamonds are earned for completing each challenge and are used to buy items for Newton. To access the diamond page, click on the diamond in the upper right hand corner of the level map. You will earn the "*BWAAH*" trophy for buying all the gifts.
Trophies:
Trophies are earned for various actions, most of which will occur simply by playing through the game.
Purrfect is earned by making 25 "purrfect" combos. A purrfect combo occurs when you check out four or more customers at a time.

I'm having issues with the dog/cat tip games at the Shelter levels. How do you work on an iPad?
ReplyDeleteSo sorry, but I've only played it on PC, so I can't help. You could ask on their Facebook page; the developer has been quick to respond.
Deletehttps://www.facebook.com/DrCaresGame/
I am trying to get the trophy master vet(the blood pressure cuff) how do I know what level I need to play to get this
ReplyDeleteThere really isn't a way that I know of, other than to replay each minigame until you get three coins on each one. My guess is that if you play the last level of each location, you'll encounter each minigame of that level. Sorry I can't be of more help!
