Pets play a crucial role in Grow a Garden as they allow your plants to flourish or offer some other type of effect, making them worth having in your garden. However, not every pet is equally good or useful. Some of them, like the Mimic Octopus, offer incredible traits, while others, like Cat and Dog, are nothing special. However, picking one pet out of the various options can be quite challenging. This is where the Grow a Garden Pet Tier List will come in handy if you’re looking to get all the best pets in the game.
We have divided the tiers based on the pet’s abilities and usefulness in the garden. Most of the Mythical and Legendary pets naturally fall in the higher tier. Now, let’s move to the tier list.
Note: The tier list is subjective and reflects the writer’s opinion.

The Complete Grow a Garden Pet Tier List
As you can see, the pets have been divided into S, A, B, C, and D tiers in this Grow a Garden Pet Tier List. These rankings are based on the pet’s usability and passive abilities. Naturally, all the pets falling under the S tier are the best and should be everyone’s target. However, they are equally difficult to obtain since most of them have the lowest drop rates in their respective eggs.
Now, let us break down the tier list and give you the reason why each pet is in its tier.
