Unlocking Multiple Pets in Stardew Valley

Increasing pet friendship

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.

For each new pet, commission a Pet Bowl from Robin (5,000g and 25 Hardwood). This serves as their home and prevents friendship loss. Optional decorative items (Doghouses, Cat Trees) are available at Marnie's.
