All Pets Reference — Grow a Garden 2
Complete list of all pets in Grow a Garden 2, their bonuses, and how to unlock them. Quick reference for F2P and premium pets.
Pets provide passive bonuses to your garden — once acquired, their effects are always active. This reference covers every pet, its bonus type, and how to unlock it.
How Pets Work
Pets apply buffs automatically. You can equip multiple pets at once (limited by your pet capacity), and their bonuses stack. For example, equipping a Growth Speed pet alongside a Harvest Bonus pet gives you faster, larger harvests.
Pets cost Sheckles to purchase from the in-game shop, though some are earned through guilds, events, or progression.
Pet List

|---|---|---|
| Cat | Growth Speed | Shop (500 Sheckles) |
| Robo-Sprinkler | Water Efficiency | Shop (1,200 Sheckles) |
| Golden Retriever | Selling Price Boost | Shop (2,000 Sheckles) |
| Crystal Fox | Mutation Rate | Shop (3,500 Sheckles) |

| Harvest Hare | Harvest Bonus | Shop (1,500 Sheckles) |
| Garden Gnome | Plot Efficiency | Shop (2,500 Sheckles) |
| Ice Serpent | Mutation Rate + Theft Protection | Guild reward (weekly events) |
| Shadow Cat | Growth Speed + Selling Price | Limited-time event / code |

Bonus Types Explained
- Growth Speed — Crops grow faster, reducing time to harvest
- Water Efficiency — Sprinklers consume less water per cycle
- Selling Price Boost — Crops sell for more Sheckles
- Mutation Rate — Increases the base ~1% mutation chance
- Theft Protection — Reduces the chance of crop theft during night
- Harvest Bonus — Extra yield per harvest
- Plot Efficiency — More crops can be planted per plot
F2P vs Premium Pets
All shop pets and guild pets are fully F2P — purchasable with in-game Sheckles or earned through gameplay. Some limited-time event pets (like Shadow Cat) may require Robux during their event window, but they are not essential to progression.
| Category | Availability |
|---|---|
| Shop pets (Cat through Garden Gnome) | Always available for Sheckles |
| Ice Serpent | Guild weekly event reward |
| Shadow Cat | Rotating events / codes |
| Baby Dragon | Garden level milestone |
Pet Capacity Upgrades
You start with 2 pet slots. Additional slots are unlocked by upgrading your pet capacity:
| Slots | Unlock |
|---|---|
| 2 | Default (free) |
| 3 | Pet Capacity upgrade (5,000 Sheckles) |
| 4 | Pet Capacity upgrade II (15,000 Sheckles) |
| 5 | Pet Capacity upgrade III (40,000 Sheckles) |
Upgrading capacity early is a strong investment — more active pets means more stacked bonuses and faster overall progression.
