All Pets & What They Do

Grow a Garden has given players a super-cozy and chill Roblox experience that’s charmed them from the start. But farming can get a little too quiet without some company, especially if you don’t have many in-game friends. Thankfully, the 1.04.0 update introduced pets as sidekicks, making the game a lot more fun and heartwarming.

While these little creatures brighten up your farm and bring it to life, they also support you in many incredible ways. For those interested, this guide will give you a detailed rundown of all Grow a Garden pets and their abilities.

Grow a Garden: Best Pets Tier List

Grow a Garden has added many adorable pets that give your crops some great perks; here’s the list of the most to least valuable ones.

Updated on June 22, 2025, by Somiya Adrees: With each Grow a Garden update, new critters join the ever-growing pet lineup. This guide has been updated to include all pets added up to the 1.11.0 update. New sections have also been added, covering how to collect pets and improve their performance.

How to Get Pets in Grow a Garden

Players can collect up to 67 adorable pets in the game, though only 60 of them can be stored at a time, and just a few can be actively used on the farm. The main way to get pets in Grow a Garden is by opening Pet Eggs, which are available through Raphael’s Stall or special event shops.

If you’re new, Raphael’s Stall (called Pet Eggs) is located near the Cosmetics and Gear Shop. There, you can purchase six types of eggs, each hatching pets of different rarities. Just keep in mind that only three random types are stocked at any given time. Here’s what you might find:

Pet Eggs	Pets Rarity	Cost	Hatch Time
Common Egg	Common	50,000 Sheckles	10 minutes
Uncommon Egg	Uncommon	150,000 Sheckles	20 minutes
Rare Egg	Rare	600,000 Sheckles	2 hours
Legendary Egg	Legendary	3,000,000 Sheckles	3 hours
Mythical Egg	Mythical	8,000,000 Sheckles	5 hours, 7 minutes
Bug Egg	Divine	50,000,000 Sheckles	8 hours

While these eggs can be obtained anytime, event-exclusive eggs like the Bee Egg, Night Egg, and Anti-Bee Egg only show up during events. You can grab them from event shops or sometimes in the Game Shop. Once you get an egg, just place it in your garden and wait for it to hatch. If you’re in a hurry, you can either use Robux to speed it up or use pets that help hatch eggs faster.

Remember, the devs often give out free new pets, like the Chicken Zombie or Cooked Owl, to players who attend the live launch of the latest updates, so try not to miss them.

What Do Pets Do in Grow a Garden?

Pets in GaG aren’t your average buddies you feed and care for to get good vibes. They do real work for you, like bringing free seeds, gear, mutation tools, Sheckles, and a lot more. There are six rarities of animals in the game, with the rarer ones offering better perks. Here’s a breakdown of all the critters and their individual traits in the game.

All Common Pet Abilities in Grow a Garden

Common Pets	Traits
Bunny	Eats a carrot (normal or chocolate variant) and increases its selling value by 1.53x or more when it ages.
Dog	Tries to dig up a seed from your garden (Seed Shop ones) every minute. The seed isn’t guaranteed, though, with a success rate of 5.14%.
Golden Lab	Works like the Dog but has a better shot at finding a seed, with a success rate of about 10.31%.
Starfish	Wanders in the garden and gains 6.36 experience points, making it grow older. Best for opening pet slots.

Seagull	Gives you a free seed of the plant you just shoveled (flowers and veggies only), though the chance is just 3.53%. The seagull doesn’t work on fruit crops like Mango, Moon Mango, Pineapple, Banana, and others.

Black Bunny	Raises the price of carrots (or chocolate carrots) by 1.53 times when consumed, doing it just a bit sooner than a regular bunny.

How to Get More Pet and Egg Equip Slots in Roblox Grow a Garden

Here’s how to get more Pet and Egg equip slots in Roblox’s Grow a Garden following the Animal Update.

Can You Improve Pet Traits in Grow a Garden?

Yes! You can absolutely boost your pet’s abilities in Grow a Garden by aging them up. The more they grow, the better they perform. For example, they’ll be able to use their traits more often, have a higher likelihood of giving variants or seeds, and even duplicate fruits more successfully. So even critters like the Red Fox can become more powerful over time.

To age your pets faster, make sure they’re well-fed and earning EXP by roaming freely or with the help of EXP-boosting animals. The best part is, just like crops, pets grow while you’re offline. You just need to watch their hunger bar, which goes down every 12 hours.

Leveling up pets is especially helpful for critters like Praying Mantis and Pigs (for top-tier mutations like Rainbow, Shocked, and Gold) and even for animals, like Raccoons and Red Fox, who help get your free fruits.

Do Pet Abilities Stack in Grow a Garden?

pets abilities stacking in grow a garden

Based on Grow a Garden’s official Discord, pet abilities do stack. This means you can get more from their combined traits. For instance, a Polar Bear only gives a small chance for Chilled or Frozen fruits to spawn on your farm, but having more of these critters can raise your mutation odds. Also, since the Silver Monkey has trouble refunding unique plants, you can leave many of those on your plot if you want to keep your valuable crops even after selling them.

This stacking works for animals with similar traits, too. Having an Owl, Night Owl, and Blood Owl together can give your active pets’ experience points a nice boost. To get the most out of this, try unlocking more pet slots (there are up to eight) and add critters that meet your goals.
