Unlocking Multiple Pets in Stardew Valley

Initially, you can adopt one pet. 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 care is key: fill their water bowl (except on rainy/snowy days) and pet them (indicated by a heart). Check their friendship level in the "Animals" menu. Once maxed, Marnie will contact you about adopting more pets (or at the start of Year 2 if you initially skipped pet adoption).

Adopting Multiple Pets in Stardew Valley

After receiving Marnie's message, visit her shop (9 AM - 4 PM, closed Mondays and Tuesdays). Choose the "Adopt Pets" option. Twelve pet licenses are available: five cat variations, five dog variations, and two turtles. Costs vary; prepare accordingly.
