Therefore, gold medals earned in a particular season are ONLY eligible for the gold medals of that particular season to meet the pet shop unlocking requirements.

Gold medals do not carry over from season to season for example, you cannot use gold medals earned in Grimsborough for Pacific Bay and vise versa to unlock pet shops. Remember, you must get the bronze and silver medals first before you are eligible for the gold medal. Every other case (starting from the third case) has 45 stars. The first case only has fifteen stars, and the second case only has thirty stars. To earn a gold medal, you must get all of the five stars on every single crime scene in a case, including the bonus scenes. The not-so-good news is that you are required to earn a certain number of gold medals before a pet shop can be unlocked. The pets in the later shops (within a single season) are more expensive, but provide more generous bonuses and are more likely to find them. Currently there are six police pet shops in Grimsborough, five in Pacific Bay, and one in the World Edition.
