Unlocking Multiple Pets in Stardew Valley
Initially, you can adopt one pet (cat or dog). The 1.6 update introduced the ability to have multiple pets. To unlock this, you must maximize your friendship level with your existing pet. Daily tasks include:
- Water: Fill your pet's bowl daily (except on rainy/snowy days).
- Petting: Pet your pet once a day (indicated by a heart).
Check your pet's friendship level in the "Animals" tab of the pause menu. Once maxed, Marnie will email you, granting access to adopt additional pets. If you didn't adopt a pet in Year 1, the email arrives at the start of Year 2.

Obtaining Pet Supplies in Stardew Valley
