As time passes without the dog being cared for, its condition will slowly deteriorate as it becomes more hungry and dirty. The condition of the player's dogs can be found by clicking its name. Hunger is listed as "Full", "Normal", "Hungry", and "Famished". Thirst is listed as "Quenched", "Normal", "Thirsty", and "Parched". The condition of the dog's coat is listed as "Beautiful", "Clean", "Normal", "Dirty", and "Filthy". If its condition is neglected for long enough, then the dog may run away. It will eventually return, sometimes with a present.
