Grow a Garden: Best Pets Tier List

Dragonfly

S Tier

Gives a guaranteed Gold plant every five minutes (worth 20x more). It’s hard to say no to that.

Raccoon

S Tier

Gives free fruit every 15 minutes by cloning one from a neighbor’s garden.

Mimic Octopus

S Tier

Mimics the ability of an active pet. Best when paired with other S-tier animals.

Seal

S Tier

Can give you the egg of a pet you just sold, meaning you can keep selling unwanted Mythicals and Divines for Mythical and Bug Eggs to try for your desired pets.

Queen Bee

S Tier

Especially useful as a support critter for Raccoon, Red Fox, Disco Bee, and more, since it fully resets a random pet’s ability cooldown. Also applies the Pollinated mutation (3x value) to a nearby crop roughly every 25 minutes.

Red Fox

S Tier

Steals (duplicates) a plant seed from a neighbor’s farm (Seed Shop ones only).

Chicken Zombie

S Tier

Grants your fruits the Zombified Mutation (25x multiplier).

Praying Mantis

S Tier

Triggers common mutations (Gold, Rainbow, Shocked, etc.), making crops more valuable. Definitely a must-have.

Mole

S Tier

Can dig up free gear for you (i.e., Sprinklers, Lightning Rod, Night Staff) and also Sheckles.

Golden Lab

S Tier

Digs up random seeds (Common to Divine). Perfect for farming while you’re AFK.

Blood Owl

S Tier

Makes all your active pets age faster.

Firefly

S Tier

Turns your crops Shocked (50x multiplier).

Butterfly

S Tier

Polar Bear

A Tier

Has a 10.12% chance to grant you a Chilled (2x value) or Frozen fruit (10x value) every 1.49 minutes.

Pig

A Tier

Has a higher regular mutation chance than Praying Mantis (2.2% every two minutes) but often produces cheaper variants. It’s a decent pick, but not as rewarding as a mantis.

Bear Bee

A Tier

Acts just like a Honey Sprinkler, granting a confirmed HoneyGlazed mutation (5x value) to fruits every 25 minutes.

Sea Turtle

A Tier

Sends about 1,000 EXP to a random pet every 11 minutes and makes a fruit Wet (2x value).

Honey Bee

Moon Cat

A Tier

Boosts fruit size (1.51x) and keeps Lunar and Blood Moon plants from disappearing after harvest (with only a 6.1% chance).

Moth

A Tier

Keeps your pets’ Hunger Bar full every 13 minutes, helping them age faster and perform better. (Variant pets can give higher-tier mutations, and seed diggers can find better seeds.)

Ostrich

A Tier

Lets your hatched pets come with an age of one to four.

Silver Monkey

A Tier

When you sell fruit, it might pop back into your inventory (even mutated ones like Shocked, Gold, or Rainbow). The rarer it is, the lower the chance.

Blood Hedgehog

A Tier

Can copy your plants when you pick them (even Divine ones).

Tarantula Hawk

Similar to Queen Bee but only advances pet cooldown by 1.3 minutes. Useful if you haven’t unlocked Queen Bee yet.

Pack Bee

A Tier

Used to expand your inventory slots, letting you hold more fruits, pets, and seeds.

Starfish

A Tier

A situational critter that gains 6.36 EXP every second. Best used when you’re trying to unlock extra pet slots. It’s even better than any Brown Mouse, as it can earn you 3,816 experience points every 10 minutes.

Flamingo

A Tier

Ideal for all plant and fruit growth. Has the most cooldown and growth rate.

Scarlet Macaw

A Tier

Has a chance to bless a nearby fruit with a Verdant variant (4x value) every 11.51 minutes, though the chance is only 15.95%.

Cat

B Tier

Pretty much does the same thing as Orange Tabby.

Deer

B Tier

A version of Spotted Deer with lower chances of cloning berry plants.

Waters plants at different times to speed up growth, but since most crops grow pretty quickly, it mostly helps when you’re short on time or growing slower plants.
