Pets are important companions in Grow a Garden. They were first introduced during Update 1.04.0.
Pets mainly use their passive abilities to help boost crop growth, cause special mutations, and increase your profits.
Players can get pets by hatching eggs, which are obtained through the in-game shop or by completing quests.
You’ll also need to feed your pets crops to keep them from getting hungry and to improve their abilities over time.
