The Auto-Petter will prevent animals from losing [[Animals#Friendship|Friendship]] or Mood due to lack of petting and animals will gain approximately the same Mood boost compared to manually petting. However, they will only gain approximately half the normal Friendship points from petting this way. Both the Mood boost and Friendship boost from the Auto-Petter stack with regular pettings from the player, so the Auto-Petter can be used to reach maximum Friendship & Mood faster than normal.

However, they will only gain 8 Friendship points (just over half of the normal amount of Friendship points) from petting this way. They will gain 15 Friendship points if they are manually petted, exactly the same as the normal amount of Friendship points.
