Localization

Some changes were made to Himawari Animal Hospital when it was rebranded into Petz Vet for the localization. These changes range from graphics to difficulty.

Home Layout
The Main Character's home was slightly altered in the localization. In the original Japanese version, the Main Character had a vanity, but if the player were to buy a pet, it would be replaced with the pet bed. In the localized version, the vanity was completely removed and the pet bed permanently took its place.

Smash Tennis
In the original Japanese version, Smash Tennis was a more challenging minigame. The player had to score 6 points, the timer was set to 60 seconds, and the AI for Ian was more competent. When localized, the score was lowered to 4 points, the timer was set to 90 seconds, and it is easier to trick the AI for Ian in order to get points.

Ian
Ian is known not to be native to the country the game takes place in. In the original Japanese version, it was more obvious that Ian's first language wasn't Japanese, as his knowledge of the language is much more limited. In the localized version, however, Ian's English is not that bad, and is a bit more awkward in dialogue.
