There is a [[Pet Bowl]] on some wooden tiles somewhere on the farm. It is in the top left area next to the house on the standard, forest, wilderness, hilltop, and riverland farms. It is on the intersection of the different sections on the four corners farm, and right above the right shore on the [[Farm Maps|beach farm]]. The bowl can be filled with water for the pet. Watering the pet's bowl will result in the pet's friendship increasing by 6 points by next morning. Note that this will not trigger if it is raining the next morning. On rainy days, the pet's bowl will automatically be full. If it rains before adopting a pet, the bowl will remain full until adopting a pet.

Unlike with human NPCs, ignoring a pet or using a [[Weapons#Slingshot|slingshot]] on it will not decrease friendship. For each night that a pet does not have its own Pet Bowl, they will lose 10 friendship points the next morning.<ref name="petnobowl" />

Upon reaching maximum friendship, each pet may drop items on the ground as a gift for the player when being petted for the first time each day.<ref name="petgifts" /> Like gifts sent in the mail from villagers, the gift that the pet drops is randomized each time the same day is reloaded.
