Pet Society frequently asked questions
Answers about playing Pet Society online in your browser: how to start, what it costs, whether you need Flash or Facebook, what happened to the original game and what you can do today.
Is this the official Pet Society from Facebook?

No. Progress from the Facebook version of Pet Society is separate and cannot be brought here. Here you start with a free account on this site and a new pet.
Where is my game saved?
On our servers, with your account on this site. It is not saved on Facebook and we do not use Facebook to sign in, so your progress here is only valid here.

What happened to the original Pet Society, and can I still play it in 2026?
Pet Society was a virtual pet game by Playfish (Electronic Arts) that launched on Facebook in 2008 and shut down in June 2013. The original can no longer be played. What you can play today are independent browser editions like this one: a free revival that runs without Flash.
Is this Pet Society Island or Happy Pet Island?
No. Pet Society Island (now called Happy Pet Island) is a mobile game by another studio. This site is an independent browser edition with its own server and its own accounts, and it is not the official Pet Society site.
Do I have to set up a private server on my computer?
No. This is an online private server that already runs for you: you create an account, open the page and play. There is nothing to install, no files to download and no server to run on your PC.
Can I play Pet Society on my phone or tablet?
The game is designed for a computer browser and a mouse. Touch screens have not been tested, so we recommend a PC. Nothing needs to be installed on any device.
Which languages does it have?
The game itself can be switched between English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Danish, Swedish and Dutch with the flag button. This website is available in thirteen languages: those eight plus Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Turkish and Polish; the game has no Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Turkish or Polish interface.
The game does not load or stays stuck. What can I do?
The first load downloads a lot of game art, so give it a minute on a good connection. Then reload the page, try an up-to-date browser and turn off extensions that block scripts or images. If it still fails, open a ticket from Support and tell us your browser and what you see.
What can I do in Pet Society today, and what is still missing?
You can create and dress your pet, feed it, decorate your home, shop in the town stores, level up, chat and add friends. You can already try these in the beta: fishing, cooking and digging. Still in development and not playable yet: weekly quests, minigames, stadium, garden and gifts. The game is in beta and bugs can appear. The current status is on the features page.
Can I visit my friends?
Yes. Add friends from “My friends” in your account menu by typing their username. Their homes appear in the in-game friends bar the next time you sign in, and each friend can be visited once a day for coins and experience.
