100% of 11 bit studios and Dead Mage's proceeds go to the Humane Society International charity!
Hunters of the night, creatures of the day. They howl, growl, hiss and grumble - but more than anything, they feel and think in a similar way that we all do. And their lives are as precious as ours. This DLC adds new features to the game - like the Animal Shelter System, new boosts, animations and events - but it actually does far more than that. It directly helps the animals in need - not those virtual, but the real ones. 100% of 11 bit studios and Dead Mage proceeds from Paws and Claws DLC go to the Humane Society International charity, whose main mission is to help animals all over the world.

Seriously, watch the video, the price of this DLC is all to help animals IRL !
If you don't like animals in real life, why did you buy a DLC with virtual ones ?
this DLC is a donation for humane society and give you in bonus cool stuff for the game !
sorry for my bad english, I am french (and I love animals in real life and virtually)
This DLC is a great encouragement to donate for a good cause. I don't get why people would give only 1 star. It is clearly communicated what you get and that the whole thing is done to help animals. You don't like animals? Don't buy it. You want to help them? Donate a couple of €€€/$$$ and get the DLC on top. And the devs don't even take their cut. They make their money with the main game and donate 100% from what we pay for the DLC. What's not to like?
The ideas behind DLC, both cause- and gamewise are generally good.
The DLC gives the animals we see in the game some or (in some cases) some more purpose than in the base game. It expands the role of Ryker wolf cub as well as the fish in the fishpond we recover early on in the base of the game. The bonuses the animals give are generally a welcomed addition if one aims to max out all characters (max lvl is 50). But remember: there isn't enough points to max out all skills so distribute your points wisely (you can respec using a mysterious egg).
Well, it's the mechanics that bothers me a bit. Feeding animals is OK: it's what we pet owners do - it's a sign of care for our animals. I can live with a mechanism that works like this: the hungrier the pet the less of a bonus it gives. But to a point. Decreasing the bonus all the way to zero depending on dungeon runs made is where the idea of this DLC, based upon the bond between us and our pets, falls short.
Yes, pets do like when we give them treats, just like my cats I treated just a moment ago. That can temporarily boost our pets' attention towards us (hence the increase of the bonus). However, our pets don't love or like us just because we give them food. There's more to a bond between a master and his/her pet. Tying the love of a pet for its master just to its 'hunger meter' disconnects this DLC idea-wise from the rest of the game. This is most evident in the case of Riker wolf cub - we saved that fellow from danger, then healed it and through the Bergsons we took it on as a pet. That cute wolf has more reasons to love the Bergsons than just because they feed it. So i think that for Riker and the fish there should at be some minimum level of their meter that will always stay higher than 0. I know it's tricky to balance this out. But for this DLC to be more enjoyable and engaging, and thus to be more rewarding than just donating $4 for animals, I think it should see some rebalancing with master-pet relation in mind
For me the game was really great !
When I got bored by one character, there was comming another one with different type of attacs.
The story is quite well written so not only action but also story is very nicely written.
Really enjoyed the game !
I didn't really understand all the down votes until I got the DLC, thinking I was just donating a few quid rather than buying a DLC. Thing is, there is barely any use to the pets so far. I woulda rather have had the boosts be permanent rather than temporary, feels like I didn't get anything at all in the end, no combat pets and the buffs are temporary and I haven't found these so called in game treats.
But oh well, I'll just treat it as a donation to animal charity, still wouldn't recommend buying it as a DLC, maybe adopt a zoo animal and get some pictures or something.
