The most beloved farming game on Roblox, Grow a Garden, became much more interesting with the introduction of new cute pets. Not only do they roam around your garden, sitting and napping wherever they feel like, but they also come with unique traits. These traits boost the progress of the crops in your garden, provide random chances for mutations, and offer more buffs. Since there are a whole lot of animals and bugs, we have prepared a Grow a Garden pets tier list, highlighting the best pets to help you choose your companion.
Editor’s Note: This post was last updated on June 21, 2025, with the release of the Summer update.
Grow a Garden Pets Tier List: Overview
As of now, there are 66 pets in all of Grow a Garden, each coming with unique traits and buffs. A lot of them can provide you with excellent chances of getting fruit mutations and a rapid growth rate, while there are many others that provide minimal to less efficient qualities.
Accordingly, we have divided all of these pets into different categories, with S being the best of all because it provides the best passives for money making, while D is the worst because the pets in that category have the least usable traits.
Grow a Garden S-Tier Pets
The S-Tier consists of the greatest pets of all in Grow a Garden, including the Dragonfly, Disco Bee, Raccoon, Bear Bee, Mole, and others. Each of them has high-quality traits, where the Dragonfly can turn any random fruit to get a Gold mutation, the Raccoon can steal others’ seeds and harvest, the Disco Bee has a chance of turning any random fruit to Disco, and the Mimic Octopus can shapeshift into any pet and perform their abilities.

Grow a Garden A-Tier Pets
Next at the A-Tier, we have a mix of the Legendary and the Bug eggs, and let me assure you that each of them has excellent qualities despite being a tier below the best ones. Among these, my favorite is the Cow that increases the speed of growth of all plants near it.
Other pets like the Sea Otter help water the nearby crops, increasing their speed and size, while the Seal can refund some pet eggs when pets are sold, and the Moon Cat can help in increasing plant size and replanting Moonlit fruits. That said, here are all the pets in the A-Tier.
Pet Egg Type Trait Orangutan Rare Summer Egg Has a chance of returning the materials used in crafting recipes Tarantula Hawk Anti Bee Egg Gives the Pollinated mutation to fruits and reduces the cooldown of a random pet Sea Turtle Rare Summer Egg Gives your pets a bonus of 1000 XP Honey Bee Bee Egg Chance to give the pollinated mutation Crab Common Summer Egg Pinches random players for sheckles Wasp Anti Bee Egg Gives the Pollinated mutation to fruits and reduces the cooldown of a random pet Bee Bee Egg Chance to give the pollinated mutation Toucan Rare Summer Egg Increases the size of tropical plants within its range Caterpillar Bug Egg Faster growth rate for Leafy plants in the radius Pack Bee N/A Increases the fruit capacity in your backpack by 51 Seal Rare Summer Egg Returns pet egg when pet is sold Scarlet Macaw Paradise Egg Has a chance of applying the Verdent mutation to harvests Snail Bug Egg Increased chances of Lucky Harvest Echo Frog Night Egg A random plant’s growth will advance by 24 hours Cow Legendary Egg Increased growth rate of plants inside the radius Sea Otter Legendary Egg Waters the nearby plants Peacock Paradise Egg Has a chance of reducing cooldown of pet abilities Moon Cat Legendary Egg Boost fruit size and grants a chance of replanting Moonlit plants Silver Monkey Legendary Egg Chances to refund fruits when sold
Grow a Garden B-Tier Pets
Since the B-tier lies in the middle, it consists of average pets with a few great passives. However, they can sometimes be limited to benefit a single crop. The Panda is the best example; eating only bamboo can increase its sale value by a small multiplier.
The Chicken Zombie is a free pet that will help you get the Zombified mutation on any one of your harvest. Then, Turtles can be used to increase the sprinkler usage time, whereas Frogs can simply increase the growth rate of plants by 24 hours. Whereas the Golden Lab can help you dig up some rare seeds.
Pet Egg Type Trait Moth Anti Bee Egg Restores the hunger of the hungriest pet Chicken Zombie Free Chance to give the Zombified mutation Squirrel Mythical Egg Chance to not consume seed while planting Frog Night Egg A random plant’s growth will advance by 24 hours. Blood Kiwi Buy from Blood Moon Shop Boosts Egg hatching speed and reduces egg hatch time Red Fox Mythical Egg Chance to get a random seed from another player Monkey Rare Egg Chances to refund fruits when sold Cooked Owl Free Chance to turn your fruits into Cooked or Burnt Pig Rare Egg Increases the chances of mutation Grey Mouse Mythical Egg Gets bonus XP and boosts player movement speed Seagull Common Summer Egg Chance to drop the same seed while shoveling plants Blood Hedgehog Buy from Blood Moon Shop Boosts size of prickly fruits Panda N/A (only obtainable within 1 hour of Animal update) Eats bamboos and sells them at higher prices Turtle Legendary Egg Sprinklers last longer if its around Golden Lab Common Egg Chances to dig up a random seed
Grow a Garden C-Tier Pets
Coming down at the C-Tier, these pets are slightly better than the ones you can find from most common eggs in Grow a Garden. A few of the rare eggs belonging to this category are the most useful ones, like the Polar Bear that has a chance of giving some of your harvests the Chilled or Frozen mutation, and the Night Owl, helps pets to gain XP.
| Pet | Egg Type | Trait |
|---|---|---|
| Hedgehog | Night Egg | Gives all prickly fruits a 1.51 size boost |
| Owl | Mythical Egg | All active pets gain an additional 0.22XP/s |
| Dog | Common Egg | Chances of digging up a random seed |
| Polar Bear | Legendary Egg | Chance to convert nearby fruits to Chilled and Frozen |
| Kiwi | Night Egg | Reduces hatch time of eggs at regular intervals |
| Ostrich | Paradise Egg | Increases the age of hatched pets |
| Rooster | Rare Egg | Reduces the hatch time of eggs |
| Blood Owl | Buy from Blood Moon Shop | Boost pets XP on your farm |
| Brown Mouse | Mythical Egg | Gets bonus XP and player gets boosted jump height |
| Night Owl | Night Egg | All active pets gain an additional 0.23XP/s |
Grow a Garden D-Tier Pets
Finally, coming to the D-Tier, we have the worst pets of all that come with the least useful traits of all in the game. For instance, the Spotted Deer that can help in keeping the berries intact when harvested. The Rabbit can give your carrots a small chance of adding a value bonus. However, they sell for really low prices, which again is not good enough when you have better crops available.
Pet Egg Type Trait Orange Tabby Rare Egg Increases the fruit size when it naps in its radius Spotted Deer Rare Egg Chance to make the berries stay even after harvesting Cat Uncommon Egg Increases the fruit size when napping in its radius Chicken Uncommon Egg Decreases the hatch time of eggs Deer Uncommon Egg Chances of making the berries stay even after harvesting Black Bunny Uncommon Egg Eats a Carrot and increases its value Bunny Common Egg Eats a Carrot, increasing its value Starfish Common Summer Egg Increases its own XP
That ends our list of the best Grow a Garden pets. While the common egg pets can be utilized at the early stages, always aim to get better eggs in the game. So, which pet is your favorite, and what is the rarest you have unlocked in the game? Let us know in the comments below.
