Stardew Pets Galore: Guide to Populating Your Farm

Author : Anthony Update:Feb 21,2025

Expand Your Stardew Valley Farm with Multiple Pets!

This guide explains how to acquire multiple pets in Stardew Valley, adding more furry (or scaly) friends to your farm. The 1.6 update made this possible, but it requires some steps.

Unlocking Multiple Pets:

Initially, you can adopt one pet. To unlock the ability to adopt more, you must maximize your friendship level with your existing pet. This involves:

  • Daily Watering: Fill your pet's bowl daily (except on rainy or snowy days).
  • Daily Petting: Pet your pet once a day (a heart bubble indicates success).

Check your pet's friendship level in the "Animals" tab of the pause menu. Once maxed, Marnie will contact you about adopting additional pets. If you skipped the initial pet adoption, she'll contact you at the start of Year 2.
