Pet Playhouse Playset

The Pet Playhouse was a playset that did not come with any pets.[1]

Alternative Colors: Small accessories come in two sheets of sprue injections molds - one pink accessory sheet & one purple accessory sheet but each sheet is not consistently the same color from one box set to the next. The vanity seat and bed also came in alternate colors. - See photos below for color comparison.[2] The peach color shown in photos generally shows signs of discoloration or possibly regrind (a recycling of plastic during the manufacturing process) since there is usually an uneven distribution of pink coloration in the plastic.

Worth 2 Paw Points.


Note: The hair rollers sold in this set have been used in other Mattel toylines including Lady LovelyLocks (ex. Sea Magic Salon) and Barbie (ex. Styling Salon 1987).

Backcard Story

Everyday is fun at the Pet Playhouse! That's where Little Pretty kitties and puppies love to play games and be together. They comb & style each other's hair at the vanity, and when they get hungry, they have a cat snack or puppy treat. After a busy day of fun and play, it's time to rest up in their special pet bed for another exciting day tomorrow!

It is currently unknown if there is an international version of Pet Playhouse.
