An example of a pet in Adopt Me! (Koala)
Pets were released in the June 2019 update (Summer Update), though the 'Pets' section of the backpack was added long before that. Hatching Eggs is the primary way of unlocking pets and operate similarly to Gifts but take longer to hatch. Players can also buy some pets using Robux or event currencies, like Candy.
Currently, new players who enter the Nursery for the first time will receive a free Starter Egg (which will only be able to hatch into a Cat or a Dog) from Sir Woofington.
Types of Pets
There are 5 main types of pets in these ranks: common, uncommon, rare, ultra-rare, and legendary. The kind of pet players get is mostly dependent on chance; the more expensive an egg is, the greater chance players have of hatching rarer pets. There are currently 74 total pets players can hatch from eggs.
Another type of pet is 'Event' which is a temporary pet that is removed from all inventories after period of time. The two event pets as of now are Scoob and Pumpkin (Pet). Event pets age as fast as common pets, and in inventory, are classified with common items, pets, and vehicles. Although the Pet Rock wasn't an event pet, it was an uncommon pet. Event pets are not put on the Nursery board, but the Pet Rock has.
Players only can get Safari pets from the Safari Eggs; likewise, they can only get Jungle pets from Jungle Eggs. This pattern continues with other limited Eggs such as the Christmas Egg, Farm Egg, Aussie Egg, and Fossil Egg.
The pets that cannot hatch from eggs are the following: Horse, Griffin, Penguin, Golden Penguin, Sloth, Zombie Buffalo, Shadow Dragon, Bat Dragon, Evil Unicorn, Bee, King Bee, Queen Bee, Frost Dragon, Elf Hedgehog, Elf Shrew, Reindeer, Santa Dog, Panda, Rat, Golden Rat, Monkey, Business Monkey, Toy Monkey, Ninja Monkey, Albino Monkey, Monkey King, Pet Rock, Scoob, Kitsune, Ginger Cat, Toucan, Starfish, Bat, Albino Bat, Pumpkin (Pet), Ghost Bunny, Skele-Rex, Cerberus, and Robo Dog.

Christmas
During Christmas, players could buy a Christmas Gift or Golden Gift with Gingerbread and open it. If they unboxed a Christmas Egg, they could then hatch the egg into a Robin, Wolf, Polar Bear, Swan, Arctic Fox, or an Arctic Reindeer. Players could also use Gingerbread to buy an Elf Shrew (Shrew) and Elf Hedgehog (Hedgehog), or spend 1,000 for the Frost Dragon or 250 for a Santa Dog (Dalmatian).
During the 25th day on the Advent Calendar (Christmas Day), players could claim a normal Reindeer.

Special Pet Items
Ride-A-Pet Potion
- Main article: Ride-A-Pet Potion
Pets can be made permanently rideable if they are given a Ride-A-Pet Potion. This Ride-A-Pet Potion is available for 150; it can be bought through the 'Shop' menu or inside the Potion Shop. You must buy a potion for every single pet that you want to make permanently rideable.
If a parent is riding a pet, the pet will grow bigger to accommodate the parent's size. If a baby is riding the pet, the pet will stay at its normal size.
Fly-A-Pet Potion
Main Article: Fly-A-Pet Potion

Pets can be made permanently flyable (allowing the player to sit on the pet and fly it) if they are given a Fly-A-Pet Potion. This Potion is available for 295; it can be bought through the 'Shop' menu or inside the Potion Shop. Players must buy a potion for every single pet that you want to make permanently flyable; both Fly-A-Pet and Ride-A-Pet Potions can be used on the same pet to make the pet flyable and rideable.
If a pet is in flying mode, it will grow white wings with a pink trail, unless its original state had wings (such as the Robin, Crow, Shadow Dragon, Parrot, etc.), which it will use as its "flying" wings. The Arctic Reindeer, Pet Rock, and Reindeer pets do not need wings to fly and as such, don't gain any.
Neon Pets
- Main article: Neon PetsAs of July 13th, 2019, it is possible to get Neon pets. In order to do so, you must place four fully-grown pets of the same type into the slots in the cave located under the main bridge. They will combine to create one neon pet, a special variation of the pet in which some of its parts glow a special color. All pets can be made neon, except non-tradeable pets like the Chick, the Scoob, or Pet Rock.
To make a Neon pet rideable or flyable, you will either only need one rideable/flyable pet for it, or you can alternatively feed it a Ride-A-Pet Potion or Fly-A-Pet Potion after turning them into a Neon pet.
Mega Neon Pet
Main article: Mega Neons
Mega Neon Pets are pets in Adopt Me! that were released on April 17, 2020. To get a Mega Neon pet, a player must place four fully-grown Neon pets of the same type into the slots in the cave under the main bridge. These pets will then combine to create a Mega Neon Pet. These pets glow rainbow (changing colors gradually). All pets (except the Scoob, Pet Rock, and Chick) can become a Mega Neon.
The same with Neon pets, you only need one Neon pet to make it fly or ride, and one pet out of that Neon to be fly or ride, so really, you only need 1 out of 16 to be fly or ride. You can also feed them a Ride-A-Pet Potion or a Fly-A-Pet Potion after you transform them.
Golden Goldfish
The Golden Goldfish sign
- Main article: Golden Goldfish
On August 23, 2019, Golden Goldfish were added so that players could tame Penguins. Golden Goldfish cost 225. Penguins are only found inside the Ice Cream Parlor. Players only have a 1 in 10 (10%) chance of taming a Golden Penguin; the other 9 out of 10 times (90%) you will tame a normal Penguin.
Honey
- Main article: Honey
Honey
As with Golden Goldfish, players can use Honey to tame a Bee. It costs 199. Players can have a 1 in 40 (2.5%) chance of taming a Queen Bee. You have a 4 in 40 (10%) chance of obtaining a King Bee. You have a 35 in 40 (87.5%) chance of obtaining a regular Bee.
Rat Box
- Main article: Rat BoxIn the Lunar New Year (2020) event, players could purchase a Rat Box for 345 Bucks at the Lunar New Year Platform. You have a 14 in 15 (93.33%) chance of getting a Rat and a 1 in 15 (6.66%) chance of getting a Golden Rat.

Trivia
- All the uncommon and common pets can be hatched from eggs.
- However, the Robin, Wolf, Meerkat, Wild Boar, Chicken, Silly Duck, Drake, Blue Dog, and Pink Cat are limited pets and could only be obtained from limited and discontinued eggs.
- There was a pet in Adopt Me! that was called a Pet Rock. It can only be obtained temporarily in the April Fools 2020 Event. It is the only uncommon pet to be fly and ride without needing to feed it a potion and one of the only pets that cannot be hatched by an egg.
- On May 4, 2020, a temporarily available pet called a Scoob was added into the game. Scoob is the second pet that is flyable and rideable without feeding it a potion, the first one being the Pet Rock. It is a reference to the TV show Scooby-Doo and was created to promote the Scoob! movie. By making a Scoob fully grown, the player obtains detective pet wear. It disappeared after May 18, 2020. It was the only pet of the Event rarity so far.
