Pet Shards are unique items acquired from the Zen Shop in Grow a Garden. They provide guaranteed mutations to any targeted animal. These altered creatures offer unique buffs that help you earn money quickly. As a result, some players may wonder if the mutations triggered by Shards can be stacked.
Unfortunately, no. Pet Shards are unstackable. This article explains more.
How do Pet Shards work in Grow a Garden?

As mentioned, Pet Shards are items that can apply specific mutations to any creature that consumes them. These altered animals can then spread their mutation to nearby plants at constant intervals. Thus, if Shards could be stacked, the creature could apply multiple alterations at once.
Mutations can increase a crop's value many times, and all are stackable on plants. Unfortunately, the same isn't true for animals. If you have already applied Tranquil to a pet with the help of a Shard, using a Pet Shard Corrupt will cause the Corrupt Mutation to replace Tranquil.
Unfortunately, Creature alterations are not stackable in any scenario. Even if you input an already mutated animal in the Pet Mutation chamber, the current Mutation will simply replace the prior one.

How to get Shards
Pet Shards are currently only obtained via the Zen Shop. You'll need to spend either Chi or Robux to acquire it. When using the former, the item can also go out of stock; thus, you'll need to wait until it comes back. Meanwhile, when using Robux, you can buy it anytime.
All Shards will be locked at the start. You'll need to open them by growing the Zen Tree to Stage Seven. That can be achieved by giving Tranquil Fruits to the Zen Channeller. Here's how to buy it:
- Visit the raccoon sitting in the middle of the map, beside the Zen Channeller.
- Hold E to interact with him.
- Select the Show me the Zen Shop option.
- Scroll down until you find the appropriate shard.
- Click on it and select the currency with which you want to buy it.
- The Pet Shard will then be added to your inventory.
Here are the Robux prices for all Animal Shards:
- Pet Shard Tranquil: 200 Chi or 279 Robux.
- Pet Shard Corrupted: 205 Chi or 289 Robux.
Use the Shard on a particular pet to apply the appropriate mutation.
