There are a variety of activities with which the user can interact with the pet, including washing, brushing, petting and feeding the pet. There are also activities whereby pets can interact with the pets of those in the "friends" network. A pet can visit the pets of their friends and perform the same activities to these pets (washing, grooming, feeding, etc.). A pet can visit other pets as many times per day as it is inclined. Pets will receive coins on the first visit to each friend of the day and Paw Points on this and each subsequent visit. Ways to earn coins in Pet Society include the Daily Lottery, visiting friends, winning awards, cleaning or playing with pets, winning hurdle races or betting on the outcome of hurdle races. Ways to earn Paw Points are varied and include visiting friends, buying items and using the stadium.

On the 1st of April, 2010, there was an April fool joke in Pet Society. There was an option of selecting the game in 3D, and when the option was selected, the game would show a ’loading’ bar, when, after that would finish, a message appeared, saying "April Fool!"

Pet Society has a thriving in-game economy and launches new purchasable items to each of the stores every week. The application attracts new users through its long continued efforts to stay updated, bringing new features such as "Recycling", "Garden", the Pet Society Photo Album feature and the Pet Society Fishing Pond. As of March 2010, Pet Society offers the following stores and places in its standard village:

• Market - A new store in which you can find here all kinds of things like toys, party gear, musical items, cool gadgets and more.

• Stadium - This is where the pet can race with another pet. You can earn 30 coins by doing this. Your pet can also bet for a racer and earn coins if he/she chose the winning pet. Another option is to simply practice racing.

• Food - Here pets can find typical fruits, vegetables, meat products, drinks, etc. The Food Shop often offers weekly special items which sometimes reflect specific holidays or events. For example, Zongzi was sold for one week in the 2009 May 28 Dragon Boat Festival. Other holiday food items have also been offered for holidays including Halloween and Christmas.

• Furniture - This shop supplies various tables, chairs, couches, beds, shelves, cabinets and other furniture items for a pets home.

• Mystery - The Mystery Shop sells Snow White mystery eggs, Build a Plushie mystery eggs, and Dolls House mystery eggs. Mystery boxes includes: Japanese back-to-school Outfits boxes, French Passtreie boxes, Arabian Snack boxes, and Win or Lose Mystery Boxes. Regular mystery boxes include a small red box or "RMB" (Red Mystery box), a medium blue box or "BMB" (Blue Mystery Box), and a gold large box or "GMB" (Gold Mystery Box). These boxes, when opened, reveal a gift, to be given to you.

• Café - A more recent feature, the Café is a social bonding service where the player can visit random players’ houses, meeting their pets. The player can also buy typical coffee-shop food and tea sets here.

• D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) - This place is where players can shop for wallpapers, floors, doors, Bathroom sets, Cabinets and windows.

• Clothes - Here players can buy clothes, shoes, hats, wigs and accessories for their pet to wear.

• Stylist - Players can change the name, gender, colour and features (e.g. eyes, nose, ears and such) of their pet.

• Boutique - This is the place where the players could mostly, only use playfish cash.

• Outdoor - The player can buy plants and different seeds for his or her pet’s garden at the Outdoor store. Players can choose to buy flower, vegetable, or tree seeds. Trees occasionally bear fruit which the player can sell or feed to their pet, flowers grow into decorations that can be placed into decorative pots, and vegetables can be grown to increasingly large sizes to be sold for a large profit, but may rot before being harvested. Players can also buy decorative plants, outdoor furniture, and cash items that speed along the growing process. They can also buy cute petlings, which is a pet for your pet.

• Pond - Players can catch and collect fish (and various other items) by using any food they have as bait. Fish can be shown to friends and used as decoration by placing them in an aquarium in the player’s house. They can also be recycled or sold, but not gifted. If the bait is bought from the Boutique, they can collect special fishes relevant to the week’s theme or event. Purchasing a complete set of Pro Fishing clothing items makes the player eligible to catch a rare ancient fish.

• Treasure Hunt - Players can dig for dinosaur bones as well as various treasures in themed maps. Players receive 5 free shovels a day, which they can use to dig. Shovels may also be purchased by users. The treasure maps include; Town Forest, Enchanted Forest, Ancient Egypt, Deep Ocean, The Graveyard, The Moon, Winter Fairyland and a Lost Treasures map where users can dig up discontinued items that are no longer available in the stores.

• A new way to buy items - (As of August 26, 2010) Clicking on a trolley icon when visiting your friends, enables you to buy highlighted items from your friend’s house. (Only Highlighed items are the ones available in Stores).
