Pretend Play
by Hape
A pretend clinic for caring hands, serious check-ups and very tender puppy care.
Some days the puppy is brought in before breakfast. Other days the clinic opens after rest time, with your child taking the pretend job very seriously. Without anyone really noticing, the play becomes less about being looked after and more about looking after someone else. That is the part you tend to remember: the careful voice, the soft hands, and the way the puppy is treated like someone who truly needs care.
Our in-stock products are usually dispatched from Melbourne within 24–48 hours. During peak and sale periods, dispatch and transit times may be longer.

Product overview
Pretend pets often get the most serious care in the house, especially when a child decides they are in charge. At first, your little one may simply bring the puppy to the clinic for a quick check-up. Soon, the story changes: the puppy needs rest, then reassurance, then another careful visit. Before long, the vet role becomes familiar enough to return to on different days, with your child deciding what the puppy needs and how gently to help.
