Expand Your Stardew Valley Farm with Multiple Pets!

This guide details how to acquire multiple pets in Stardew Valley, adding a touch of furry companionship to your farming endeavors. Initially, only one pet was allowed per save file, but the 1.6 update changed that.

Unlocking Multiple Pets:

To unlock the ability to adopt additional pets, you must first maximize your friendship level with your existing pet. This involves daily care:

  • Daily Watering: Fill your pet's bowl with water using your Watering Can (except on rainy or snowy days).
  • Daily Petting: Interact with your pet to receive a heart bubble.

Monitor your pet's friendship level via the "Animals" tab in the pause menu. Once maxed out, Marnie will send you a message, granting access to additional pets (or at the start of Year 2 if you initially skipped pet adoption).

Adopting Multiple Pets:

Before or after adopting, commission Pet Bowls from Robin's shop. Each costs 5,000g and 25 Hardwood. These act as your pet's home, preventing friendship decay and runaway pets.
