Pet

A pet is an animal that cannot be harvested. Instead, they can be named and customized by a farmer.

Current pets include: The cost for the Golden Retriever, Sheep Dog, and one type of Border Collie is 65 Farm Cash. The other Border Collie costs 300,000 coins. The 300,000 coin Boarders Collie must be fed Puppy Kibble daily for two weeks, which must be purchased from the market or received as a gift from neighbors. The 65 Farm Cash dogs do not have to be fed daily; they come with 2 weeks of free Puppy Kibble.

 * Sheep Dog

If a player has not trapped his farmer, the dog will follow the farmer on their daily duties.

The animal requires feeding every 24 hours. A timer shows how long till the next feeding is due and when it expires you get a new menu selection to feed it. If you fail to feed it at that time a new timer starts for another 24 hours after which the animal will run away requiring farm cash to retrieve it fom the pound. However, the time of feeding remains at the original purchase time, that is, if you miss the feed time by 20 hours then feed it, the feed timer will reset to 4 hours, not a fresh 24. It is therefore prudent to buy your puppy at your regular farming time. They will eventually turn into adults and can be taught tricks.

On the offical Farmville Podcast, broadcast on April 9th, it was confirmed new breeds of Dogs would be coming soon.
