Unlocking Multiple Pets in Stardew Valley

Initially, you can adopt one pet. The 1.6 update allows for multiple pets, but first, you must max out your existing pet's friendship. 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 additional pets (or at the start of Year 2 if you didn't adopt a pet in Year 1).

Adopting Multiple Pets in Stardew Valley

After receiving Marnie's message, visit her shop (9 AM - 4 PM, closed Mondays and Tuesdays). Select "Adopt Pets" to view the 12 available licenses:

Obtaining Pet Supplies in Stardew Valley

Essential: Purchase Pet Bowls from Robin (5,000g and 25 Hardwood each). These act as their homes, preventing friendship decay and desertion.

Optional: Marnie sells decorative Doghouses and Cat Trees. These don't affect friendship.
