Update 1.04.0 Feature

Pet Companions

Discover loyal companions that revolutionize your farming strategy with unique abilities and powerful synergistic effects

Unique Abilities

Each pet brings specialized benefits from boosting crop growth to increasing mutation chances, creating diverse strategic possibilities for your farm.

Ability Stacking

Equip multiple pets of the same type to create exponentially powerful synergistic effects that can transform your entire farming operation.

Expandable Slots

Start with 3 slots and expand to 8 maximum slots through aged pets, allowing for complex strategic combinations.

Transform Your Farming Strategy

Pets are revolutionary companions introduced in Update 1.04.0 that fundamentally change how you approach farming in Grow a Garden. These aren't just cosmetic additions – they're powerful strategic tools that can multiply your efficiency, unlock new possibilities, and create synergistic combinations that experienced players leverage to build agricultural empires.

The Power of Ability Stacking

The true magic happens when you equip multiple pets of the same type. This isn't just addition – it's multiplication of effects. A single Butterfly might increase mutation chances by 10%, but three Butterflies create a synergistic effect that can dramatically transform your crop breeding strategy.

Equipment System

Starting Configuration3 Slots

Every player begins their pet journey with 3 active equipment slots. This gives you immediate access to pet abilities and allows for basic strategic combinations from day one.

Maximum Potential8 Slots

Advanced players can unlock 5 additional slots (total of 8) through strategic aged pet investments. This opens up complex multi-pet synergies and specialized farming strategies.

Unlock Requirement

Additional slots require aged pets – mature companions that must be purchased from other players or traded. This creates an economy around valuable aged pets and encourages strategic planning.

Inventory Management

Storage Capacity60 Pets

Your pet inventory can hold up to 60 hatched pets at any time. This includes all pets whether they're equipped, stored, or being prepared for trading or breeding purposes.

Pro Strategy

Advanced Tip: Keep pet eggs unhatched to bypass the 60-pet inventory limit. Eggs don't count toward your storage capacity, allowing you to collect more pets than the standard limit suggests.

Capacity Management

When at maximum capacity, you must sell or delete existing pets before hatching new ones. Plan your pet collection strategy to avoid losing valuable companions.

Obtainable Pets

These companions are available through normal gameplay without requiring special permissions, trading, or administrative rights. Build your collection and discover powerful synergies through regular farming activities.

Pet Age System

Pet aging is a progressive enhancement system where pets gain experience points (XP)over time to advance through age tiers. As pets mature, they require increasingly more XP to reach the next age level, but in return, their abilities become significantly more powerful.

Aging Benefits

Reduced cooldowns - Abilities activate more frequently
Improved success rates - Higher chances for beneficial effects
Enhanced multipliers - Stronger bonuses and buffs
Equipment slot unlocks - Additional pet slots at specific ages

⚠️ Important Note

Pets cannot gain XP or age when their hunger bar reaches 0.Keep your pets well-fed to ensure continuous growth!

How to Check Pet Age
