===Additional Pets===

After reaching maximum friendship with the initial pet, the player can purchase pet licenses from [[Marnie's Ranch]] to get additional pets. Cats and dogs cost {{Price|40000}} each, or there are two varieties of turtles, one for {{Price|60000}} and the other for {{Price|500000}}. The player should construct additional outdoor pet bowls using the [[Carpenter's Shop]], or pets will become upset. Any pets that are no longer wanted can be removed from the farm by using [[Butterfly Powder]] on them.

The player should construct one additional outdoor [[Pet Bowl]] for each new pet using the [[Carpenter's Shop]], to avoid losing friendship with that pet. Any pets that are no longer wanted can be removed from the farm by using [[Butterfly Powder]] on them.

After reaching 1000 friendship points with the pet, the following message pops up: " <Animal Name> loves you &#9825;"  &nbsp;You can check friendship with the pet in the Animals menu when paused.

There is a 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.

There is no mechanism for pet friendship to decrease. Unlike with human NPCs, ignoring the pet or using a [[Weapons#Slingshot|slingshot]] on it will not decrease friendship.

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.
