C Tier
These pets offer very low benefits and are generally only worth equipping if you have no higher-tier options available.
- Dog: May find a random seed when digging
- Golden Lab: May find a random seed when digging
- Panda: Every three minutes, the panda wanders over to a bamboo plant in your garden, munches on it—boosting its value—and automatically sells it for you. You still collect the earnings, even though the panda did the selling for you. However, this can be frustrating if you wanted the bamboo to stay in your garden, so it’s best to keep the Panda in your inventory. If there’s no bamboo left in the garden, the panda will simply stroll around until more appears.
