Hello Animal Lovers! 👋

The doors are open, the equipment brand fresh and shining! There are plenty of animals waiting for your help! It is time to open the Vet Clinic! 🏥

We are excited to announce that the Vet Clinic DLC is now available to play! 😻

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4247800/Animal_Shelter_2__Vet_Clinic_DLC/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM3fzWGP_GI

New additions and interactions to your shelter with Vet Clinic DLC:

🏥 Professional facilities

Patients with complex cases need complex tools to diagnose and treat them. Unlock new rooms and equipment to take in animals that need your care the most. Expand your vet clinic with an underground area reserved for MRI and x-ray rooms, all customizable to align with your taste. 🚑

😽 Help animals

The animals you care for may have illnesses or conditions that you have not encountered before. Use advanced medical equipment to pinpoint the exact illness that affects the animal, including the ten new ailments added. Analyze samples, scan body parts, scale teeth, apply ointments, and more in order to give your pets complete care! 🪥

🤒 Physical and mental health for your animals

Physical health, as important as it is, is not all that there is to an animal’s well-being. After purchasing a clicker in the store, you’ll be able to train your animals commands and encourage desired behaviors. Training the animals in your shelter not only stimulates their mind, but also corrects unwanted behaviors, making them more appealing to adopters. 💕

🔥 New minigames and mechanics!

The new ways to care for your animals’ health are varied and can involve fun minigames that you have to play in order to place a correct diagnosis. Train your pets’ mind and nose with the new nosework mechanic by creating scent trails that they have to follow. Encourage the traits you want and correct the ones you don’t by training with a clicker. 🐕 🔷 For all the players who are interested in trying out Animal Shelter and didn’t have a chance to buy it yet we are giving a bundle so so you can increase the launch discount even more! 👇 https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/69925/Animal_Shelter_2_Family/ 🔷 For all those that already own the base game you will be able to buy Vet Clinic DLC at a lower price! 👇 https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/69919/Vet_Clinic/

Maybe it’ll inspire your pups to run faster? 🏮 Festive Lantern - because everything looks better in warm, cozy light. 🩳 Clothes for the little guys - Time to dress up your favorite pets again! 👕 🦁 Dancing Lion Hat - dramatic entrance guaranteed. 🐰 Lucky Slippers - festive and fashionable (pets may not appreciate them, but you will). 🎀Coin Glasses - maximum prosperity style unlocked. 🧣 Decorated Shawl - perfect for those emotional “goodbye adoption day” moments.

Dear Players,

If you prefer not to have the holiday event impact your regular gameplay, we have great news for you! 😊 We’ve added the option to switch to a separate game branch where the event changes won’t be applied. This way, you can continue your gameplay without any holiday-related updates!

🔄 Once the event ends, you can switch back to the main game branch without losing any progress or achievements. Below you will find instructions on how to enable this branch. 🔽 Instructions:

• Open Steam and go to your library.
• Right-click on Animal Shelter and select Properties. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36804114/6149b12d4ec7b08724dba06dd6888db8774e6f2e.png
• In the Beta tab, select "NoEvent" from the list of branches. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36804114/68f79fd672a109c361114c586d9a0a32e3c870d2.png
• Click Close and launch the game – now you will be playing on the separate branch without the event changes.

After the event ends, just return to the settings and select the main game branch.

Enjoy your game and happy holidays! 🎅🎁 The Animal Shelter Team
