Pets

Pets are smaller versions of animals that accompany the player's current animal and can be purchased throughout Jamaa. They can be bought in Claws N' Paws, Flippers N' Fins, the Diamond Shop, the Pets-Only Party, or through the Pets section of the "Change your Look" menu.

Choose a Pet
This menu is the same menu the player sees when making a new animal, except pets are displayed instead of playable animals. It can be accessed by clicking on the pet adoption icons scattered around the world and certain parties. The menu can also be found by clicking on the Pets button in the "Change Your Look" panel and then clicking on the blue butterfly icon in an empty slot.

Claws N' Paws
Claws-N'-Paws is a shop where most of the main land Pets can be purchased along with common household items for their pets. It is found in Appondale inside a large tree and is accessible through the world map.

Flippers N' Fins
Flippers N' Fins is a shop where the aquatic pets can be purchased. It is located in Crystal Reef. Unlike its land counterpart Claws N' Paws, Flippers N' Fins does not sell any den items related to pets.

Diamond Shop
Each pet in the Diamond Shop costs 3 Diamonds, and if the player frees a pet, they will not receive any Gems or Diamonds in return. If the player has bought a pet with Diamonds, they will be given the accessibility to buy the same pet again with Gems.

Pet Games
Pet games are similar to other mini-games in Jamaa, except that they require players to have the corresponding pet following them. When playing, the player's pet will actually appear in the mini-game and the player will get to control them. The current pet games are Ducky Dash for a pet ducky, Disc Toss for a pet puppy, and Sssssnake for a pet snake.

Pet Effects
Pet effects are special rewards that can only be unlocked by playing the pet mini-games. Each pet effect causes small colorful shapes to appear around the pet; puppies have bones as their effect, duckies have eggs, and snakes have skulls. To obtain these effects, the player must collect 100 golden eggs, 100 golden discs, or 100 golden mice depending on the pet game. These can be collected by the individual pets gradually while playing the pet games and it is not necessary to collect them all at once.

Trivia

 * In June 2015, the "Pet Finder" menu that had been previously used to select a pet has been replaced with the "Choose an Animal" menu, which was later renamed to "Choose a Pet".
 * Eagles and Owls can only use flying pets (ex: Hummingbird).
 * Pet Turtles and Pet Polar Bears are currently the only pets that can be used both on land and underwater.
 * Hamsters, Seahorses, and Honeybees are currently the only non-member pets so far besides Joeys.
 * When a pet wears a certain item, it can sometimes allow the pet to have a special "play" move.
 * There is not a pet counterpart for Hyenas, Snow Leopards, Otters, Crocodiles, Seals, Koalas, or Penguins.
 * Although Sugar Gliders "fly", they cannot be used with flying animals.
 * The pet Reindeer is considered the Deer counterpart.
 * So far, there are only two parties that can only be accessed if the player has a pet. The first and older one being the Pets-Only Party where special features and pet items can be found and bought. The second, more recent party is the Play-As-Your-Pet Party, where the player can play as their pet.
 * Most of the pets are in the diamond shop.
