How do you evolve your pet in pockie ninja?

First of all you get three of the same pets ex: three vulture+0. then you put them all in synthesizing then you get a vulture+1. To get a to a higher level put the vulture+1 as the main item then put two vulture+0 as the caylasts. then you get a vulture +2. but I don't know if that will work again to get a vulture+3.
