How pet tiers work
Every pet in Grow a Garden has a rarity from Common up to Prismatic, with higher rarities generally gating stronger pets. The tier on this list (S, A, B, C, D) reflects the impact of the pet's ability in the current meta, not just its rarity.
Only one pet can be active at a time, so picking the right active pet for your goal (farming profit, mutation chance, or XP gain) is the key decision. Pets also level up passively while equipped, which improves the output of their ability over time.
Choose your active pet by goal
For mutation farming
Pick pets that apply rare mutations to nearby fruits. Corrupted Kitsune (Corrupted Chakra to 9 fruits), Hex Serpent (cursed mutations), Disco Bee (Disco mutation + cooldown boost), Pterodactyl (Windstruck to ~4 fruits) and Red Dragon (volcanic/rare mutation chance) are the strongest picks for stacking high-multiplier mutations.
For gold & rainbow fruit
Gold Finch is the strongest gold-focused pet in the current meta. Golden Goose lays golden eggs that boost gold mutation chance, Dragonfly doubles gold fruit chance, and Butterfly converts fruits with 5+ mutations into Rainbow every 30 minutes — the fastest route to rainbow crops.
For pet XP & leveling
Peryton gives huge XP to a random pet plus a chance for the Everchanted pet mutation. Frost Dragon grants XP to all pets passively via Frost Deity. Capybara sustains nearby pet hunger and adds 3.48 XP/sec — ideal for long AFK leveling sessions.
For growth speed & auto-farming
Spider (Web Aura) advances all pet cooldowns and plant growth. Frog leaps a random plant forward 24 hours, Spinosaurus and T-Rex apply prehistoric mutations while advancing growth, and Chimpanzee auto-sells a random crop every 5 minutes for hands-off income.
Grow a Garden pet values — all 38 pets by trade value
Sorted by trade value, highest first. Trade value (Tv) is the community reference price in Sheckles for a freshly hatched pet with no mutation and no weight bonus — it is not a shop price, because pets cannot be sold to an NPC at all. Only player-to-player trades move them.
Weight is a separate axis from trade value: a pet's weight grows as it ages, so the same pet sits in a different size class at age 20 than it does at age 100. Enter the weight and age shown in-game in the pet weight calculator to see which size class the pet falls into and the hatch weight that implies.
24 of the 38 pets have a settled trade rate. The remaining 14 show a dash: they are newer or thinner-traded pets whose price has not stabilised in the community, and inventing a number for them would be worse than leaving the gap visible. Check the tier column for guidance on those — tier is set from ability impact, which does not go stale the way a price does.

Pets FAQ
What are the best pets in Grow a Garden?
The best pets in Grow a Garden are the S-tier pets, led by Gold Finch (Tv 3,238). Other top S-tier picks include Corrupted Kitsune (Tv 3,200), Peryton (Tv 3,100), Headless Horseman (Tv 2,841). These pets offer the strongest abilities in the current meta.
How do I get better pets?
Better pets come from rarer eggs tied to events and specific sources. Out of the 38 pets tracked here, the top-tier ones hatch from limited-time event eggs such as Hungry Birds Event. Hatching more eggs and trading for high-tier pets is the main route to upgrading your active slot.
Do pet abilities stack?
No. Only one pet can be active at a time, so pet abilities do not stack. Choosing the right active pet for your goal (farming, mutation chance, or XP) is what matters. Pets also level up passively while equipped, which improves their ability output.
What is the highest value pet?
Gold Finch is currently the highest value pet at Tv 3,238, hatched from the Hungry Birds Event. Trade values shift with demand, so check this list for the latest numbers.
Which egg does each pet come from?
Every pet hatches from a specific egg source. The full table below lists the egg for all 38 pets — event eggs like Zen, Halloween, Winter, Prehistoric, Bee Swarm, Safari Harvest, Bug, Dragon, Premium, Night and Basic each drop their own pet pool.
How are Grow a Garden pet values calculated?
Unlike crops, pets have no shop value — you cannot sell one for Sheckles, so there is no base price set by the game to anchor against. The trade value in the table above is a community reference price for a plain, freshly hatched pet, and it moves with demand rather than with any formula. 24 of the 38 pets have a settled rate; the rest are too new or too thinly traded for a number to mean anything, so they are left blank on purpose.
Why do some pets show no trade value?
Because a made-up number is worse than an honest gap. A pet with very few recorded trades has no meaningful market rate — quoting one would send you into a trade with a false baseline. Those pets still have a tier (which reflects how strong the ability is, and does not go stale) and an egg source, so you can judge them on what they do rather than on a price nobody has agreed on.
Does a pet value change with weight, age or mutation?
Yes — and by a lot. The trade value here is the baseline for a plain pet at hatch. In game, a pet gets heavier as it ages, and heavier pets trade for far more than the baseline, with pet mutations (Shiny, Golden, Rainbow and the rest) stacking on top. So use the table to compare pets against each other, and treat any specific trade as baseline-plus-adjustments rather than a fixed price.
