Even though Grow a Garden seems to be all about cultivating the best crops, getting a pet for your farm is something you'll want to consider later down the line. Aside from being cute additions to your plot and adding a bit more character to your garden, a few pets can also add beneficial mutations to your plants which make them more valuable.
Pet Eggs can be purchased from the very start of the game, so you don't need to worry about unlocking anything before you can get one. There are a variety of eggs on offer, all containing different creatures for you to raise in your little garden. These change fairly often, and there are a lot of seasonal pets worth learning about before you decide to invest in a pet. Here's what you need to know to get one, and what to do once it's hatched.

The Pet Egg Shop is at the opposite end of the map to the Seed Shop. There's no way to teleport there, since you only have buttons for the Seed Shop, your garden, and where you sell items. But it's hard to miss when you wander up that way.
There's always three Pet Eggs out the front for sale, which refresh every 30 minutes, however, you can instantly refresh eggs by using Robux.
The following table lists every pet you can currently get, which egg it's from, and your chances of hatching one. Other pets have been available in the past, and you might see other players with them, but if they aren't listed here, they aren't currently available in the game and the eggs they come from aren't currently in rotation.

When you've hatched a pet, you'll be able to interact with them in a few ways. The first, and most obvious, is the feed button. Each pet has a hunger bar which you'll need to keep topped up to gain XP and increase the age of your animal, but pretty much any veggies or fruits from your garden will do the trick. Unfortunately, this bar will continue to deplete whether or not you're playing the game so you'll probably need to immediately feed them each time you log in.
Interacting with your pet also gives you the chance to "pick them up", which actually puts them back into your inventory, which is convenient if you want to either gift them to another player or take them to the Pet Egg shop to sell. Finally, the last button labelled "view" will let you see all the information about your pet, including their name, age, weight, hunger, and any traits they may have to help you around the farm.

Kara is an evergreen writer. Having spent four years as a games journalist guiding, reviewing, or generally waffling about the weird and wonderful, she’s more than happy to tell you all about which obscure indie games she’s managed to sink hours into this week. When she’s not raising a dodo army in Ark: Survival Evolved or taking huge losses in Tekken, you’ll find her helplessly trawling the internet for the next best birdwatching game because who wants to step outside and experience the real thing when you can so easily do it from the comfort of your living room. Right?
