Doug the Dog and Trading Gems

Do you trade gems with Doug the Dog in the Clubhouse? For the past several months I’ve been working harder at finding Doug and trading with him. In the past, I never really had much interest in it, but now I’m on a quest to get those trophies!

It was only recently that I learned that in order to make progress in your gem trading, you must use the SAME pet each time you trade with Doug! For a very long time, I had no idea that the progress was tied to a particular pet. You can imagine that I was very confused when it seemed like Doug kept making me start over and go back to all those ice cream and rock candies!

My progress has really picked up speed now that I know to use the same pet each time I find Doug. In fact,  I finally earned all those trophies I’ve been wanting so bad!

Here’s what the three trophies look like:

Here’s a little bit of info on Doug in case you haven’t traded with him before:

Doug is Arte’s brother, and once a day, for only one hour, you can find Doug in the Clubhouse. Click on him, and he’ll ask you to give him a specific gem. If you have the gem, and you’re willing to give it to Doug, then he’ll award you a prize.

Doug starts out by asking for common gems, then he moves on to uncommon and rare gems as your trading progresses. Sometimes he’ll ask for more than one type of gem at a time.

Here’s what Doug looks like in the Clubhouse:

Doug can pop up anytime, but I’ve noticed that he’s generally in the Clubhouse in the evenings, usually between 5pm and 7pm. When he’s there, he stays for an hour, so if he shows up at 7pm, he’ll be there until 8pm.

There are 20 prizes total to collect from Doug – that’s a lot! I’m doing pretty well on both of my accounts. I especially love the wallpaper and flooring that you can earn from trading with Doug:
