I have already shared the 5 worst pets to own in Grow A Garden, and now it’s time for the 5 best pets to own in the Grow A Garden game.
There are 44 pets within Grow A Garden, and they all offer a different individual benefit, which can help you grow bigger or better fruits, make you more money, or improve your productivity within your farm.
Some pets are definitely better than others, and some offer an amazing benefit, but they’re seriously underrated. If you’d like to see the five pets I consider to be the best five Grow A Garden pets, keep on reading…
Snail
My first pet I consider to be one of the five best pets in the game is the snail.
The snail is a pet you’ll find inside the very rare Bug Egg, and each bug egg is an eye watering 50,000,000 sheckles, where you’ll find one of five bug themed pets.
I think the snail is seriously underrated, and it never gets spoken about, but it’s such a good pet to have.
If you own this pet, the snail will give you a 5% chance you’ll get the pop-up message to say you’ve found a seed.
When you’re harvesting your crops, you get a pop-up message to tell you that you’ve had a lucky harvest, and you found a seed for the plant you’re harvesting, and you have to catch the floating seed within 30 seconds.
It does work on the rarer seeds too, like the cacao, beanstalk, grape, mango or pepper.
Some of the pets will duplicate the actual fruit you’re harvesting, but with the snail, you’re getting a whole brand new seed that you can plant, and on the seeds like cacao, beanstalk or pepper, that’s a million sheckle or more seed, so it’s absolutely worth it.
It’s not the cutest pet to own, but the getting new seed benefit is amazing, and it’s the kind of pet that you don’t have to have in your farm all the time. If you’re harvesting a crop like grapes or peppers, put the snail down, and then harvest them, to see if you can get some extra new seeds for your inventory.
Dragonfly
Everybody raves about the dragonfly, and for good reason. This pet has the best benefit within the game, and at a very short interval too, so you don’t have to wait around for ages for it to happen.
The dragonfly can be found inside the bug egg, just like the aforementioned snail, which are 50,000,000 each.
With the dragonfly pet, every 4.44 minutes, it turns one random fruit gold.
Thanks to the dragonfly, I went from 12 billion to over 250 billion sheckles in just a few days, after doing the sprinkler method, and allowing the mutations to stack.
It’s such an insane pet to own, especially if your dragonfly turns crops like mushrooms gold, or your crazy biggest fruits.
The gold mutation gives your crops a 20x multiplier, and it does it in under five minutes too, meaning, it’ll convert 13 fruits an hour into gold, which is insane.
The only downside is how very hard the dragonfly is to get, especially as the bug eggs are insanely rare anyway, but the dragonfly is most definitely worthy of the hype.
Moon Cat
The moon cat is a relatively new pet within the game, and it launched as part of the twilight shop.
That shop is no longer available, at the time of writing this post, but it could potentially be coming back, as Jandel, the creator, said he’s bringing night events back, and hopefully that means the return of the twilight shop and the moon cat pet.
With the moon cat, you purchased it outright for 100,000,000 sheckles, and not via an egg.
Every 59.51 seconds the moon cat will nap (lie on its back) for 20.33 seconds somewhere in your farm, and during that time, she’ll make new fruit within 20.33 studs of her will be made 1.52 x larger. PLUS, you get a 6.10% chance “moon” type fruit stays after harvest.
I love the 20.33 seconds “nap” time, as you have enough time to get your trowel and move a moon type fruit within the green circle surrounding the moon cat while it naps, so you can be sure that the plant will enjoy a 1.52x larger size.
The larger size benefit works on all crops, but the 6.10% chance of moon fruits staying after harvest, is where it becomes the most lucrative.
The moon fruits within the game include the moon melons, moon mangos and celestiberries.
So if you have any of these crops on your farm already, it’s a good idea to have the Moon Cat equipped, especially if you use the moon melons to do the sprinkler glitch. You could be duplicating seriously large and valuable fruits.
Blood Kiwi
One of my favorite mechanics within the entire game, is the eggs. With the eggs, you place them in your garden, and all of the egg variations have different hatching times, but you have to basically wait for the eggs to hatch, and reveal the pet inside.
Some eggs are rarer than others, and the rarer the egg, the longer the wait time is, for the egg to hatch.
If you love purchasing the Grow A Garden eggs, but hate waiting for them to hatch (and don’t want to spend 49 Robux to allow the egg to hatch instantly), the blood kiwi is a pet you need in your garden.
The blood kiwi is a pet you can purchase from the Blood Moon shop full-grown (no eggs needed), and was 20,000,000 sheckles.
The blood kiwi isn’t available at the time of writing this post, because the moon events were removed from the game, but Jandel did announce the night events will be returning, but we don’t know if that means the blood moon and blood moon shop will be included within the moon event return.
When you have the blood kiwi equipped on your farm, every 60 seconds, it sits on an unhatched egg you have in your garden, and quickens the hatching time by 45 seconds.
There is also the normal kiwi, which also does something similar, but for that one, it quickens the egg hatching time by 25 seconds instead of 45, so the blood kiwi really is an upgrade, and if you happen to own multiple blood kiwis, you’ll quicken the eggs hatching time considerably.
Grey Mouse
For my last pet within my top 5 best pets round-up, it has to be the grey mouse, but I’m only choosing this pet for the benefit connected to the Bizzy Bee update’s bee swarm event.
You get the grey mouse within the Mythical Egg, which is 3,000,000 sheckles to purchase, and you’ll get one of five different pets.
There are two mice in the mythical eggs, with a brown mouse and a grey mouse, and both mice don’t improve fruits or make you money, but they enhance your ability as a player.
The grey mouse grants an additional 10.25% increase to player movement speed, so you can walk faster.
It also stacks, so the more grey mice you have equipped in your garden at the same time, you’ll get a 10.25% walk speed increase for each one.
The faster walking is so unbelievably helpful with the new bee swarm event, as we have to walk to and from the honey machine to make honey coins, so with the grey mice, you walk super quick, to save you time.
