Speed is one of the most important stats in Ride A Pet. A faster animal lets you move around the map quicker, reach eggs before other players, and complete your farming route in less time. Some pets are much faster than others, so upgrading randomly is not always the best idea. If your main goal is to find rare eggs and move around the map as quickly as possible, these are the best animals to focus on.
Why Speed Matters
Having a fast pet is especially useful when hunting for eggs. Eggs can appear around the map and only remain available for a short period, so slow movement can cause you to miss them. A fast pet helps you:
- Reach eggs before other players.
- Travel between different map zones faster.
- Complete egg routes more quickly.
- React to rare egg notifications.
- Search more of the map in less time.
- Spend less time traveling between shops and other locations.
Speed becomes even more important when searching for rare eggs such as the Blackhole Egg.
Best Ride A Pet Animals for Speed
Based on the current pet stats, the following animals are among the fastest options available:
- Snail — 15 Speed
- Turtle — 50 Speed
- Sloth — 90 Speed
- Axolotl — 165 Speed
- Horse — 5.34K Speed
- Wolf — 5.71K Speed
- Shark — 6.1K Speed
- Ostrich — 6.96K Speed
- Fox — 19.5K Speed
- Giraffe — 27.4K Speed
- Cheetah — 38.4K Speed
- Unicorn — 137K Speed
- T-Rex — 266K Speed
- Phoenix — 1M Speed
- Cerberus — 100M Speed
- Dragon — 300M Speed
- Kitsune — 1B Speed
Best Early Game Speed Pets
When you are still starting out, your options are limited. The Snail, Turtle, Sloth, and Axolotl are useful for getting around the first areas. The Axolotl is the best of these four with 165 Speed. Once you have enough money and access to better eggs, you should start replacing these starter pets. Horse, Wolf, and Shark are good stepping stones for the midgame. The Shark reaches 6.1K Speed, making it the fastest of these three.
Best Midgame Speed Pets
The Ostrich is an important upgrade once you reach the midgame. It has 6.96K Speed, followed by the Fox at 19.5K. After that, the Giraffe and Cheetah offer another major increase:
- Ostrich — 6.96K
- Fox — 19.5K
- Giraffe — 27.4K
- Cheetah — 38.4K
The Cheetah is a strong choice if you are mainly trying to improve your movement speed without needing one of the extremely expensive endgame pets.
Best Endgame Speed Pets
The biggest speed increases come from the endgame animals. The Unicorn reaches 137K Speed, while the T-Rex goes up to 266K. The Phoenix is even faster at 1M Speed. From there, the numbers increase dramatically:
- Cerberus — 100M Speed
- Dragon — 300M Speed
- Kitsune — 1B Speed
Kitsune currently stands out as the fastest pet in this list, making it the best choice if movement speed is your main priority.
Best Speed Pet Progression
You do not need to jump straight from a starter pet to an endgame animal. A more realistic progression is:
- Starter pets
- Horse, Wolf, or Shark
- Ostrich
- Fox
- Giraffe
- Cheetah
- Unicorn
- T-Rex
- Phoenix
- Cerberus
- Dragon or Kitsune
Try to upgrade when the next pet gives you a meaningful increase in Speed. Buying a slightly faster animal that costs a huge amount of money may not always be worth it if another upgrade is close.
If your goal in Ride A Pet is to become as fast as possible, Kitsune is the strongest choice from the current speed list with 1B Speed. Dragon is another excellent option, especially if you want both high Speed and massive Income.
For most players, however, getting there is a progression. Focus on upgrading from the starter animals to Horse, Shark, Ostrich, Fox, Giraffe, and Cheetah before moving into the powerful endgame pets. A faster animal will make egg hunting, map exploration, and general progression much easier.
