Starting a new Stardew Valley farm lets you adopt a cat or dog. While initially limited to one pet per save, the 1.6 update changed that, allowing multiple companions. To add more, you'll need to meet a few conditions.
First, maximize your friendship with your current pet. Ensure a full water bowl daily (except on rainy/snowy days). Pet your animal once a day (a heart bubble confirms success). Check their friendship level in the "Animals" tab of the pause menu.
A full friendship meter triggers a message from Marnie, offering more pets. If you skipped the initial pet adoption, the message arrives at the start of Year 2.
After Marnie's message, visit her shop (9 am-4 pm, closed Mondays and Tuesdays). Choose the "Adopt Pets" option. You'll see 12 pet licenses: five cat variations, five dog variations, and two turtles. Each license has a cost.
| Pet License | Cost |
|---|---|
| Pet License – Brown Cat | 40,000g |
| Pet License – Grey Cat | 40,000g |
| Pet License – Orange Cat | 40,000g |
| Pet License – White Cat | 40,000g |
| Pet License – Black Cat | 40,000g |
| Pet License – Brown Dog w/ Blue Collar | 40,000g |
| Pet License – Brown Dog (Shepherd) | 40,000g |
| Pet License – Brown Dog w/ Red Collar | 40,000g |
| Pet License – Black and White Dog w/ Red Bandana | 40,000g |
| Pet License – Dark Brown Dog | 40,000g |
| Pet License – Green Turtle | 60,000g |
| Pet License – Purple Turtle | 500,000g |
After adopting, visit Robin's shop to commission Pet Bowls (5,000g and 25 Hardwood each). These are essential; without them, your pets’ friendship will decrease, and they might run away.
Marnie also sells optional doghouses and cat trees (purely cosmetic).
That's how to expand your Stardew Valley pet family! Check out The Escapist for more Stardew Valley news and guides.
