When will FarmVille Puppies grow?

Posted on April 21, 2010 7:10 pm by FarmVille Freak CabbagePatchKid

Last night was expected to be an eventful night on the Farm, many people fed their puppy for 14th time. Well, nothing happened. After much excitement, farmers have expressed frustration that their pups did not grow. Channel Zero (Official FarmVille Forum Moderator) said this in response to the complaints:

Once again, as I stated in the announcement from this morning, once the timer finishes counting down to the point where your puppy would run away, the counter should start to count up instead of down. Also, the puppy’s timer should show as the ‘Hungry In’ instead of the ‘Feed’ timer.

To repeat, your puppy should not run away, nor will you need to feed it any additional kibble to keep it on your farm. If for any reason at all, your puppy does run away after its 14th feeding, I ask that you PM with details including when you first purchased your puppy, what date you fed it for the 14th time, as well as when the puppy ran away.

We’ll keep you updated on when puppies should be ready to grow up, but for now we ask that you please remain patience, and to reiterate, once you have fed your puppy for the 14th time, you’ll no longer need to purchase kibble or feed it kibble regularly.

So, it would seem our beloved FarmVille Puppies will not be growing tonight. Channel Zero’s  slightly vague post stated that we will be updated “on when puppies should be ready to grow up”.

Many FarmVille players expected a full grown up Dog after 14 Kibble feedings, but there was no ‘transformation’.When do you think we will have full grown FarmVille Dogs?

  8. AMY Says:

    YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6TH COMMMNET!!!!!!!! AND 6 IS MY FAVORITE #!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  9. Steve4310 Says:

    I dont want my puppy to grow up. I just dont feel like feeding it anymore!

  10. Inge Says:

    It will grow up whenever Zynga Gods feel it’s time for the puppies to grow up. And they will take their time, so that everything goes right. And still the process will be glitchy and farmers will get blocked out from their farms :) )

  11. No_One Says:

    kinda stupid im bored to wait for it :S

  12. Drew Says:

    my dog says hungry in 26 hours?? and farmvilles been full of letdowns latley. very disapointing :(

  13. Juan Says:

    I wish my puppy would stay small actually! I don’t want it to grow up, it looks so cute as a baby!!

  14. Amanda Says:

    Talk about d@mmed if they do, d@mned if they don’t.

    When everyone was all “WE WANT DOGS!!!”, I’m surprised that Zynga didn’t just give up. Instead, it seems they pushed up the release date to stop people’s whining without working all the bugs out first. And now everyone is going to be all “MY PUPPY ISN’T GROWING UP!”.

    For the love people, stop complaining and whining about everything and let the developers do their job. Constructive criticism is one thing, as are helpful suggestions, but clearly the whining got you nowhere.

  15. ramirez Says:

    personally i like my puupy how it is =)

  16. kevin Says:

    10 th…………….

  17. UncooKagoo Says:

    lol..

    you have to “remain patience”
    mo’failz.

    STOP ADDING NEW CONTENT IF YOU CAN’T EVEN FIX THE CO OP ISSUES

  18. Carrie Says:

    I’m incredibly disappointed- the logical conclusion of fourteen days of feeding was the ability to transform it.

    So glad I didn’t buy the FV cash dog-and sorry for the ones that did. If they didn’t want to give the impression that puppies would become dogs after 14 days of feeding they should have SAID SOMETHING when they rolled them out!

    I was getting ready to buy more FV$ but I think I’ll hold off for now.

  19. Matt Says:

    You would think that as long as we had to wait for these dogs, zynga programmers would have noticed this problem beforehand and been able to debug. Sounds like either a rookie mistake or shoddy programming practices. I wouldn’t be rushing to an IPO either with all these issues.

  20. Juan Says:

    As usual a small technical glitch leaves a vocal few ranting for nothing. As if Zynga scrapped the idea of having puppies transform into full grown dogs as ^^ Carrie seems to imply. And besides, don’t these issues usually clear up in a day or two? People don’t seem to realize that the massive number of players might affect game play.

    Anyway, farm more, complain less, you’ll look less stupid that way *hint hint*

  21. Jessi Says:

    my puppied hungry in countdown is 00:00 what does that mean? it stays there and wont let me do ne thing for him he is also 14/14 feedings. im gonna be pissed if he runs away.

  22. nickythemime Says:

    yeah i was a tad dissapointed.

    i’m hoping tomorrow/friday’s update will yield the coin fancow. we reached 3,000,000!!

  23. ROLAND Says:

    ANY OF YOU GUYS STILL GETTING LOADING ISSUES? AS IN REALLY CANT GET IN THEIR FARMS?? WHAT’S MORE WORST THAN THAT? I JUST SPENT 2FVC TO GET MY PUP OUT OF THE POUND LAST TIME THERE WAS A LOADING ISSUE, AND NOW I THINK IT’S GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN.. WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE LOADING PAGE??

  24. Monika Says:

    What a load of crap!

  25. lynn Says:

    Matt– Really, fag? Seriously, grow up and change your language.

    Like many others, my puppy didn’t grow up. Huge fail on zynga’s part… They gave out a coin puppy, everyone was so excited for it to grow up and — nothing.

    Hope they get it fixed soon.

  26. CAMB Says:

    Fed my puppy for the 14th time yesterday evening. Came back tonight and it says she’s hungry but there is no way to feed her. Even tried using the kibble in my gift box but no dice. I guess she’ll grow up eventually!

    BTW, anyone having problems on farmville.com with their game feeds loading? It’s been 10+ days now and I can only see 1-3 posts, but I have 70ish neighbors.

  27. Elle Says:

    So basically, they took their sweet time rolling out the dogs so “everything would be perfect”, but failed to mention that they hadn’t completed the grow process? Sorry but that sounds like a biiiiiiig fail.

  28. ERic Says:

    Farmgodess…

    it’s interesting that I can’t say **** on your site but you allow fag?

    Fix it please

  29. Amy Says:

    My puppy was 14/14 yesterday! It says it is time to feed him but it won’t let me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If this freaken dog runs away!!!! I am trying to feed the damn thing and nothing. I even tried taking kibble out of my gift box to click it on top of it, and it won’t let me!!!! WTF????

    I can’t believe I wasted $300,000 on this!!!! I am pissed!!!

  30. Carrie Says:

    Um. Juan?

    I never implied that they wouldn’t transform. I said that Zynga implied that the end result of the 14 days of feed would be a transformation.

    Let’s face it–the process has been buggy through out, and this is just one more example of that.

    And really, ‘hungry in’ and a counter that counts up? How on earth does that make any sense? It’s a stop-gap measure and it shows.

    I’d beg you to take your own advice :D

  31. ba™an Says:

  39. Thorsten Says:

    “And really, ‘hungry in’ and a counter that counts up? How on earth does that make any sense? It’s a stop-gap measure and it shows.”

    Yeah, i fed mine yesterday for the 14th time, when i went on my farm to feed it a 15 th time it said “Hungry in 26 hours”

  40. Monika Says:

    My puppy just grew up!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. Laurange Orange Says:

    please post if your dog says it needs feeding after 14 days and then doesn’t run away after 48 hours?!?! i really want to know if they run away so i can stop worrying.. i wouldn’t mind so much if they stayed on your farm

    and umm yes, i have had loading issues… i have to refresh 5 or 6 times for my farm to load and if that doesn’t work i have to leave for an hour and come back… very inconvenient….

    also why did they take away wooden picket fences?? cant they at least sell them?? i don’t want them to leave!! i use normal wooden fences and i use the picket fences in between as gates, looks great but as i change my farm and add more paddocks; i don’t know what to do!!! i’m not going to bother even trying to use white picket fences as gates.

    lol JUST got an update on puppies saying they will now grow up after 14 days… i hope all of your puppies change guys =3

  42. Emi Says:

    My dog is grown up now! Farmville just enhanced!

  43. Clay Says:

    Puppies can now grow up everyone!!!

    Go look now! I didn’t get a chance to snag a pic, but trust me….you won’t be disappointed!

  44. CAMB Says:

    Yay that settles that. Now we can feed our dogs treats to train them!

  45. Karen Says:

    now you can give them treats to teach them tricks :)

  49. Atbp. Says:

    Why does my timer of my 2nd coin dog show as Hungry in insted of Feed ??

  50. Laurange Orange Says:

    can someone post a pic of the grown up red border collie? mines not 14 days yet and i want to see it, not in the position they put on the loading page.

  51. Laurange Orange Says:

    i agree with amanda (14) stop complaining!! they r doing great!!! it must be hard keeping farmville up, fixing all the glitches and releasing new items all the time without all of you complaining!!! I’m suprised they haven’t given up on pleasing all of us and stopped farmville! if you guys were a bit more appreciative; the fv staff would be so much better off!! so stop complaining and just enjoy farmville!! its a great game and i think the only complaining you should be doing is if farmville closed or about the land amount… in fact, forget i said that, they are probably sick of all the land complaining that they are upgrading it right now!

  52. Laurange Orange Says:

    HEEEYYY WHO COPYED MY NAME AND WROTE THAT!!! I LOVE COMPLAINING!!! AND THE FARMVILLE STAFF HAVEN’T HAD ENOUGH OF IT UNTIL THEY RELEASE THAT FARM UPGRADE!!

  53. Laurange Orange Says:

    hehe lol lauryn, i wanted people to see how nice u actually r…

  54. Laurange Orange Says:

    LAURYN!?!? YOU WERE BEHIND ALL THIS!! i should’ve known

  55. Laurange Orange Says:

    your not mad at me lauryn, right?

  56. Laurange Orange Says:

    no, how could i possibly hold a grudge at my bff!!! I LOVE YOU LAURYN!

  57. Laurange Orange Says:

    I LOVE YOU TOO *hugs*

  58. Laurange Orange Says:

  59. Laurange Orange Says:

  62. CHIVA Says:

    I’m just bug’d dat evry koo! “themed” item must be bought with FVC . Why can’t we use our coins to get some of them? & we seriously need to be able to upgrade cuz with da co-op I am making a lot of $$ but don’t have enough rm to have an awesome farm cuz I need rm 4 all my crops… I’m obssessed with get’n GOLD on evry job lol =o). Give us more upgrades or allow us to by anothr farm. I love my puppies! I ddnt ASSUME they’d grow up..lol.. I just loved da fact dat it would follow me everywhere!!! I LOVE IT!!

    I’m also having trouble wit freezing. Its really frustrating when aftr 4 clicks I freeze! I thought it was my computer,but its not. I startd playing other games like FARM TOWN n I dnt freeze on those games. I stopped play’n CAFE WORLD, YOVILLE, & ROLLER COASTER KINGDOM 4 da same reasons. But I WILL NOT GIVE UP my FARMVILLE!!! So PLEEEAAASSSEEE fix it =0).

    BTW… KEEP UP DA GOOD WRK!!! I enjoy FARMVILLE!!

  63. rawa Says:

    the border collie coined dog is very nice grown up, i like him, but i also spent 65 fcash on a sheepdog because i thought he was so cute, but grown up, he is so ugly. i didnt buy a retriever because i wanted black or white and they only had stupid colours, now i regret not getting a retriever, but i also got the terrier coined one, maybe he will be pretty when he is grown.

  64. Allison Says:

    So…I know the coin puppy can run away. But, after it is full grown do you have to feed it everyday so it stays on your farm?

    I have not purchased a puppy yet but since they came out with the cheaper one I am considering it.

    Thanks!

  65. Dan Angelo Matias Says:

    That’s too bad. I’m expecting my puppy to grow. But it did not grow. So please fix this problem I’m begging you.

  66. FamvilleNutCaseLikeYou Says:

    November 2011, My Puppy is not growing either, but unlike the rest of you there is no suicidal tone to my words.
    When the hell does this thing grow up, does anyone actually know?
