Unlocking Multiple Pets in Stardew Valley
Initially, you can adopt one pet. The 1.6 update allows for multiple pets, but first, you must maximize your existing pet's friendship. Daily tasks include filling their water bowl (except on rainy/snowy days) and petting them (indicated by a heart). Check their friendship level in the "Animals" menu. A full friendship meter triggers a message from Marnie, opening the adoption process. If you skipped your initial pet, Marnie's message arrives at the start of Year 2.
Adopting Multiple Pets in Stardew Valley
After receiving Marnie's message, visit her shop (9 AM - 4 PM, closed Mondays and Tuesdays). Choose "Adopt Pets" from the dialogue options. Select from 12 pet licenses:
| Pet License | Cost |

| Brown Cat | 40,000g |
| Grey Cat | 40,000g |
| Orange Cat | 40,000g |
| White Cat | 40,000g |
| Black Cat | 40,000g |
| Brown Dog (Blue Collar) | 40,000g |
| Brown Dog (Shepherd) | 40,000g |
| Brown Dog (Red Collar) | 40,000g |

| Dark Brown Dog | 40,000g |
| Green Turtle | 60,000g |
| Purple Turtle | 500,000g |
Obtaining Pet Supplies in Stardew Valley
Before or after adoption, commission Pet Bowls from Robin (5,000g and 25 Hardwood). These are essential for maintaining pet friendship. Neglecting bowls may result in pets running away. Marnie sells optional decorative items like doghouses and cat trees.
