Pups are "active" and easily could mess up things by their inbuilt scripts, while pets are "passive".
Pups can offer you dialogs to where to install them, and so you will not be able to install them in the console.
Pets install to a fixed location. They have no dialogs, and so can also be installed without X.
Pups add entries to each single Desktop by writing in their configfiles (risking to break them), while .pets can use XDG-menus only (passive resourcefiles).
Pets are more "robust", but less flexible.
They use the strict "guidelines" of creating alien packages, so they even can be installed without X.
Dotpups can include many custom "features", so my dotpup-wizard adds things like a percentage-bar, to display how far the installation already finished.
But the percentage bar needs X, so dotpups created with that wizard cannot be installed without X.
But of course you can create dotpups without the wizard, without this "feature/limitation".
GuestToo has announced several instructions, how to create dotpups "by hand" without a wizard.
