A kennel full of Petz Catz and Dogz-themed toys will appear at Wendy’s locations beginning March 23. The No. 3 burger chain is partnering with videogame maker Ubisoft, for the first time, to offer five branded toys.

Petz, based on Petz.com’s virtual animals, are the No. 1 pet-themed games on Nintendo DS. Players can adopt different breeds of animals and care for them. The franchise predated the wildly popular Tamagotchi.

For five weeks, Kids Meals purchasers will receive the Petz Catz PC game, Petz Dogz PC game, a Catz balancer ball, Dogz plush toy or Petz-themed card game.
