10 Best Pets Grow a Garden to Make You Rich and Why

In Grow a Garden on Roblox, becoming rich isn’t just about farming hard—it’s about farming smart. The pets you use can dramatically affect your income, crafting, efficiency, and even how fast you grow. Also check out our Grow a Garden Codes and our Grow a Garden animals tier list.

While many players overlook them, the right pets can make all the difference. Below is a full guide on 10 powerful pets you should be using if you want to boost your growth, duplicate items, hatch faster, or even steal plants (yes, really). Let’s get straight into the pets that every pro player is using in Grow a Garden right now.

1. Pachycephalosaurus – Duplicates Crafted Items

This ancient pet, once obtainable from the now-unavailable Primal Egg, gives you a 6% chance to duplicate a crafted item. This includes anything from Lightning Rods to Sprinklers. What makes this broken? The duplication chance stacks.

With 8 of these pets in your garden, that’s a 48% chance every time you craft something. That’s nearly a 1-in-2 chance of getting double returns—massive for economy-focused players.

2. Ostrich – Instant Age Boost for Hatched Pets

Hatched from the Paradise Egg, the Ostrich gives your newly hatched pets a random age boost between 1 and 4—and like the Pachycephalosaurus, this also stacks. With multiple Ostriches, you can hatch pets that start at age 19 or higher, skipping hours of aging. This is especially useful if you’re aiming for mutations or inventory upgrades, both of which rely heavily on pet age.

3. Kiwi / Blood Kiwi – Speeds Up Egg Hatching

If you’re tired of waiting for eggs to hatch, the Kiwi is your best friend. Found in the Rare Egg, this pet reduces the hatch time of the egg with the highest remaining time by 40 seconds every 60 seconds and increases hatch speed by 20%. The Blood Kiwi is an upgraded version with better stats. These are essential during events or when mass hatching new eggs.

4. Blood Owl & Capiybara – Passive XP Gain

Both pets help passively level up your pets:

• Blood Owl: Grants +1 XP per second to nearby pets.
• Capiybara: Gives pets within a 16-stud radius +6.6 XP/sec and prevents hunger loss.

Combine them with the Pancake Cosmetic, which attracts pets to one spot, and you’ve got a high-efficiency XP zone. This method is key if you’re farming for mutations or upgrading pet levels quickly.

5. Dragonfly – Golden Mutations Every 5 Minutes

One of the most powerful pets in terms of profit generation. The Dragonfly, obtained from the Bug Egg, has a 100% chance every 5 minutes to apply the Golden mutation to a plant. Golden plants sell for 20x more and, when combined with other mutations like Rainbow, can be worth hundreds of billions. This pet alone can completely change your income strategy.

6. Toucan / Moon Cat – Grow Bigger Plants

These pets increase the size of your plants, leading to better yield and value:

• Moon Cat: Used to stack plant growth up to 12x, but was recently nerfed—no longer stacks.
• Toucan: Still a solid option for Tropical Plants, providing size boosts in a specific category.

While the Moon Cat isn’t as strong as before, Toucan is still useful when farming plants like Palm Trees or Bananas. Their effectiveness is limited now, but they’re worth keeping in niche builds.

7. Silver Monkey – Refund Crops on Sale

Found in the Legendary Egg (42% chance), this pet gives an 8% chance to refund crops when sold. It might not seem like much at first, but if you’re mass selling crops, the returns stack up over time. Great for long-term profit farming.

8. Raptor – Increases Player Movement Speed

This one’s more about quality of life, but don’t underestimate it. The Raptor provides:

• A 15% movement speed boost (and yes, it stacks).
• A small 3% chance to apply the Amber mutation to fruits on collection.

If you place multiple Raptors, you can zip around your garden quickly—super helpful when setting up or managing large-scale gardens. It’s not a moneymaker on its own, but it saves tons of time.

9. Raccoon – Duplicate Other Players’ Plants

Possibly the most overpowered pet in the game. The Raccoon duplicates a plant from another player’s garden and gives it to you—without taking it away from them. This is massive:

• Steal plants from rich players.
• Use alt accounts to generate infinite copies of rare, high-value crops.
• Works passively while AFK.

It’s extremely rare and highly valuable. If you own one, hold onto it. Trading for a Raccoon is expensive but worth every coin.

10. Bonus Pet Combos for Mutation Farming

While not a specific pet, some combinations are incredibly effective:

• Blood Owl + Capybara + Pancake Cosmetic = Rapid XP gains in one area.
• Dragonfly + Rainbow Mutation Plants = Insanely profitable harvests.
• Ostrich + Kiwi + High-Rarity Eggs = Maximize age and hatch speed.

Optimizing your garden setup with synergy is just as important as owning the pets themselves.

If you want to dominate Grow a Garden, stacking the right pets is a must. From duplicating crafted items to stealing entire plants, the pets in this game provide enormous strategic and financial advantages. Whether you’re farming for mutations, speeding up hatching, or boosting crop value, these 10 pets are game-changers.

Start with what you have, build your collection, and focus on synergy between pets to get the most value out of your garden. The sooner you optimize your setup, the faster you’ll hit those trillion-dollar harvests. Happy gardening—and don’t sleep on those raccoons.
