Pets are optional animals you can raise on your farm. They have a variety of jobs that can help you with, and you can make
one pet your special Furmiliar. Each pet will need to have a Pet House to live in. A Pet House costs 1,200 G, 10 Lumber and
3 Small Lumber at Ludus' shop in Lulukoko. You can have up to 4 Pet Houses per farm area, for a total of 12 pets maximum,
including youir Furmiliar. You need to have a Pet House out on your farm space before you can buy a pet. The animal
shops will buy back yoiur pets that you don't want anymore.

You can buy a variety of cats, dogs, and even some capybara. New types of pets will unlock as you raise the Town Link
Ranks and when you complete Frank and Daryl's farming challenges. Each pet will cost 7,500 G and will stay on your farm
until you chose to sell it. Pets will not die of old age.

 Pet Care
Each pet has 10 hearts of friendship on its profile page. As you increase the pet's friendship, you'll increase your chances of
winning the annual Pet Show on Spring 22. You'll need to have at least 3 hearts of friendship if you are trying to make the
pet become your Furmiliar.

You can raise a pet's friendship by putting up to 7 Pet Food in its pet food bowl so it is fed every day, picking the pet up or
playing with the Cat Bell or Dog Bone (max five times per day). Playing with the bell or bone requires you to take the pet for
a walk using the Pet House Menu, and then standing on the pet so you see its name on the screen before you throw the bell
or bone. You can also build the Dog King Farm Circle that will give a little bit of pet friendship power each day.

Friendship is really just for the Pet Show and the Furmiliar. The pet's ability to do its job is based on its pet level.

The pet's stress bar indicates how upset the pet is. The pet will physically become fat if your pet's Stress bar gets too high.
You can reduce stress quickly by using the Pet Walk option in the pet's Pet House menu to take your pet for a walk. The
pets do not like being walked when it is raining.

To raise a pet's skill level is as simple as having the pet do its job. Each day the pet does its work, it will naturally get better
at it. Every pet will start at level 1 and increase up to level 10. The amount of job experience a pet needs to get from level 9 to
level 10 is the same amount it takes to get from level 1 to 7, so don't be alarmed if your pet is stuck at level 9 skill for a while.

Participating in the Pet Show is a good way to earn skill level experience, as is playiing with the Dog Bone or Cat Bell, taking
it for a walk, or going on a treasure hunt. You can also build the Cat King Farm Circle to raise skill level, which is highly
recommended if you are trying to get a pet from skill level 9 to skill level 10.

Pet Treasure Hunt

Something you can do while walking your pet is look for invisible treasure spots. Finding one of these special areas will make
a ? appear above your head (not your pet's head). To have your pet search that spot for treasure, press the A button when
you see the ? appear. If your pet finds something successful, a happy-face icon will appear above its head, in which case you
can press the A Button again next to your pet to pocket what it found. If it couldn't find anything, you'll see an angry squiggle
icon instead, in which case you will just have to move on to another spot that day.

There are many treasure hunting spots to find. There's two spots in each of your farm areas as in the Crossroads, and three
spots in each of the town areas. The items that the pets can dig up are just wild items that you could of foraged off the ground
anyway. You can find rocks, Moondrop Flowers, weed and other like items on your far or the Crossroads; Maple Branches,
Scrap Ore, Basil and similar items in Westown; sea shells, downy tufts, Sage and so on in Lulukoko; and Bamboo, Pine
Branches, Chestnut, Genger and whatnot in Tsuyukusa.

The highter the pet's skill level, the better the chance that the pet will be successful when you instruct it to snuff out the
treasure. A highter skill level doesn't result in better items; the same types of items can be found regardless of the pet's
skill level.

 Pet Abilities
When purchasing a pet from an animal vendor the job the pet can do for you will be shown on the pet purchase summary. All
purchased pets can do all jobs. For example, herding is not specific to dogs; even cats & capybaras can herd your farm animals.

If the pet you are trying to buy doesn't have the ability you are trying to get, simply exit back out to the merchant's main menu
and go back into the Buy Animals section. The ability for each animal is randomly set when you enter the purchase screen.
You can go back and forth until the ability you want appears on the pet you are trying to buy.

You can stop a pet from doing its job by viewing its profile page in any Animal Notebook and then pressing the X button on
your Nintendo 3DS to disable (or enable) the pet's ability.

There are basically two types of abilities herding and finding. The higher the pet's level, the better they are at helping you.

Herding and Recovery Jobs

Having pets in the same area as livestock and poultry barns will allow the pet to herd your animals outside on sunny or snowy
days. If your herder pet's house is in a different area that your animals, then it will not herd your animals in & out of the barns.
The pet's house and your farm animals must be in the same area. The pets will start herding animals out of their barns at 7:00
and will bring them back in starting at 15:00.

The number of animals a pet can herd is based on its skill level, from 1 animal (level 1) to 10 animals (level 10 ). Pets will increase
their skill level rather quickly from level 1 to level 6, so it won't take too long for a pet to herd more than one animal per day.

The "recovery" aspect of the job is that spending time outside reduces livestock stress.

Finding Jobs
Pets that have a finding chore will find you random items based on the job category. You can have a pet that finds fish, ores,
wild items, materials, or misc. items. Just keep the pet on your farm and watch for the ! that can appear above its head around
17:00 each night. The higher the pet level, the better the items found. For example at skill level 10 the pet could possible find:

Fish: Mahi Mahi, Moray Eel, Ray, Ocean Sunfish and Tuna
Gems and Ores: Adamantite, Diamond, Mithril, Platinum and Orichalcum
Wild Items: Elli Leaves
Materials: Gingko Branch and Sakura Branch
Misc. Items: Animal Magnetism, Cat Essence and Dog Essence

The materials, wild items and fish finding pets are a little helpful. Alternatively, you could catch a particular fish and then breed
it using your Fish Hatchery boxes. Construction materials are all over the ground in each of the towns; all you've to do is
hoard them in your farm house storage box. For wild items, you'll really only need a lot of Elli Leaves if you're trying to make
one exterior design of your level 4 farm house.

The gem/ore pets can find colored pearls and gems that you might use for cloth processing or remodeling your level 4 farm
house, which can cost quite a bit of G from the Log Cabin shop in Westown if you need to buy them. Gem/Ore collecting pets
are a bit more beneficial than the fish, wild items and building material collecting pets.

For the miscellaneous item collecting pet jobs, the other ways to find those +FP animal potions is by winning all of the prizes
in the Pet Show so you receive a random item prize instaed. Basically, these potions are very rare in the game. On the other
hand, by the time you have a pet high enough to find the special potions, you may not have a need for them anymore other
than for completing your shipped items list.
