Breed, Train, and Compete with Virtual Dogs in the Ultimate Pet Simulation
About CritterBytes
We are a small independent game studio specializing in browser-based pet simulation games. Our flagship title, Furry Paws (est 2003), is a long-running online dog breeding and kennel management game where players raise, train, breed, and compete with virtual dogs across dozens of realistic breeds.
We combine deep simulation mechanics — genetics, breed traits, training progressions, and kennel management — with an accessible, community-focused experience that appeals to dog lovers of all ages. Our players form lasting communities around the game, some having played for over two decades.
We are currently modernizing our platform for the next decade of growth, migrating to a contemporary tech stack while preserving the beloved game experience our longtime players know.
