Grow a Garden Pet Tier List (September)- Best Pets List

by

Grow a garden has quickly become one of the most popular farming games on Roblox.

With its unique blend of plant mutations, crop management, and quirky mechanics, the game keeps expanding with every update. One of the most exciting additions? Pets.

These adorable creatures don’t just look cute, each comes with special traits that directly impact your garden’s growth, fruit quality, and even mutation chances.

Well, there are a lot of animal, bugs and other creatures, so we have created a Pet tier list guide based on how useful their traits are for farming, growth boosts, and passive abilities.

If you’re new to the game, make sure to check out our Grow a Garden: Codes, Secret Seeds Guide and the complete breakdown of the Zen Update to stay up to date with everything.

So, let’s get started.

Grow a Garden Pet Tier List

Grow a Garden E-Tier Pets

E-Tier pets sit at the very bottom of the list, offering the weakest and least impactful traits in the game. Most of them provide minor boosts that don’t really hold up compared to what higher-tier pets can do.

For example, the Spotted Deer keeps berries on plants after harvesting, and the Bunny can nibble on carrots to slightly raise their value. While these abilities sound nice on paper, the payoff is so low that they’re barely worth using, especially when better crops and stronger pets are available.

Echo Frog E Tier Night Egg Advances the growth of a random plant by 24 hours
