With the Animal update, Grow a Garden introduced the Pets mechanic to the experience, giving players access to various passive abilities. Equipping a Pet can drastically change the way a Robloxian approaches the very act of farming in the title. As such, it’s important to know which Pet Eggs to save your currency for and which to skip past to try and nab the best ones.
So, to help you decide which Pets are worth keeping and equipping, we’ve ranked the various companions in the game.
Ranking all Pets in Grow a Garden
