We've ranked the best Grow a Garden pets using a variety of different factors, including rarity, egg cost, hatch speed, and passive effect.

Naturally, pets with a chance to mutate nearby crops rank high, with other factors then controlling whether they move up or down a tier.

Simply put, a mutation-based pet in a relatively inexpensive egg with a decent drop chance will rank very highly.

What is the best Grow a Garden pet?

Without taking things like rarity and cost into account, we have to say the Blood Hedgehog is the best pet in Grow a Garden right now. It boosts already expensive fruits and has the chance to mutate them, potentially catapulting their value.

What is the best Grow a Garden egg?

The egg with the best pets in Grow a Garden has to be the Bug egg. It's a rare egg, with only a 3% chance to spot in one of the three egg shop slots per reset, but it's well worth picking up.

The Bug Egg drops the Snail, Giant Ant, Praying Mantis, and even the Dragonfly pets. These are some of the best in the game and often rank in the S or S+ tiers of the Grow a Garden pet tier list.

Buy a Bug Egg and, unlike other eggs, there's a good chance you'll get a top-tier pet.
