What does the General Store stock?
The General Store stocks rotating limited stock of dog food, pickaxes for mining, special items such as the Performance Analyzer, Time Remote (to speed up races) and various toys for your hound to play with.
You can also purchase in-game cash and Golden Bones from the General Store.
The stock rotates several times per day.
What do food and toys do?
Food is required to keep your hound happy and healthy. Unhappy hounds will not perform as well as happier hounds on the track. Unhealthy hounds might find their racing career may be cut short with an early retirement.
Toys make your hound happy and have a limited number of uses before they ‘break’ and need to be repurchased. The more expensive the toy, the happier your hound will be.
Food available
- Balance kibble (maintain weight, +health)
- Lean mince (decrease weight, +health)
- Bulk chow (increase weight, +health)
- Dog bone (+happiness)
- Dog bone biscuits (+health ++happiness)
- Buddy Bites (+happiness to other player’s hounds + Doggo point to yourself) * must be Player Rank 2 to purchase
Treats make hounds happier but don’t improve their health as much as dog food
Heavier hounds (>30 kg) perform better on wet tracks
Lighter hounds (<30 kg) perform better on dry tracks
You may want to increase or decrease your hounds weight so they can use specific “weight rated” items that you may have won or crafted.
Toys available
- Dog lead (+happiness)
- Ball (++happiness)
- Frisbee (+++happiness)
Visit your kennels and drag the toy onto your hound to use it.
How do I use the shop items on my hounds?
Visit your kennels by tapping the hound icon in the bottom left on the main racing screen.
This will open your kennels and you will be able to see your current hounds and any inventory items.
The items will display along the bottom of the screen. Numbers on the icons indicate how many of those items you currently have.
Tap the item to see what effect it will have on your hound.
- If your hound is ready to be fed, a knife and fork icon will show on the kennel.
- If your hound is ready for playtime, a ball icon will show on the kennel.
- Drag the food or toy from your inventory onto your hound to give it to them.

Performance Analyzer
Purchasing the Performance Analyzer will show the strength, endurance, focus, reflexes, recovery and trainability stats for all of the hounds in your kennel. With better knowledge of your hounds strengths and weaknesses, you will be able to select races that they have a better chance of winning.
For more details, see Hounds Stats.
Time Remote
The Time Remote will appear in the Shop for players who have purchased 3 or more kennels.
After purchasing the remote, it will appear in the racing screen for player generated races (i.e. instant races you enter your hounds in, including PVP races) for a period of 7 days.
Tap the remote (top right) at any time during the race to speed up races.
To check how many days remaining you have on your remote, visit your kennels, and tap the time remote icon along the bottom inventory panel.
The time remote icon will not appear in the general races stream, as those races run in real time for all players.
