Pet Basics
Accessibility TLDR: Collect and care for a variety of pet species. Purchase basic pets with the /pets buy command, or discover rarer ones through adventures, the gem shop, achievements, and more. Pets are stored in rooms that you can decorate and customize. Use the /pets care command to keep your pets healthy, and manage and teach them skills with /pets view. If you are busy, use /pets sitter to care for your pets. For a challenge, you can breed pets and sell them on the market.
The Dank Memer pet system has gotten a massive upgrade. It has all-new embed designs, more interactive mini games, pet skills to unlock, pet rooms to decorate, and you can even sell pets on the market now!
Whether you're all about the free hunting rewards or you want to level up and show off your pet collection, there is something for every type of pet owner.

Obtaining Pets
To begin your pet journey, you need to find a pet. Pets can be purchased with /pets buy, or obtained from places like adventures, fishing NPCs, fish season passes, the gem shop, the Dank Memer Store, level rewards, the market, and more.
The easiest place to start is the /pets buy command. If you click on the drop-down menu, you can view all of the basic pets you can purchase with coins.
When viewing the command, there are three pieces of information to pay attention to:
- The Buy Button - If you can’t press it, you either don’t have enough money or space to purchase the pet.
- Friendly - Pets that are friendly with each other can breed if kept in the same room.
- Hostile - Pets that are hostile with each other may fight and lose levels if kept in the same room.
You can also see the information about friendly and hostile pets on the /pets view command by clicking the “info” button.
As you collect pets, they’ll be stored in your pet rooms. Each player has four rooms by default, and each room can hold up to 5 pets. You can own up to 10 rooms (50 playable pets). You can use /pets rooms to view and organize your pets, purchase more rooms, or decorate your rooms.
If you ever end up with more pets than you have room for, they will go into a holding area called /pets stasis, where they will be frozen until you make space for them.

Basic Pet Care
Once you have a pet, it needs to be fed and interacted with to keep it happy and feeling loved. If your pet stays happy, it may bring you items or rewards. Pets you own may also visit you while you’re running other commands, such as search, crime, beg, and stream.
To care for your pet, use the /pets care command. There, you can browse through all the active pets you own and view their basic needs.
When caring for your pet, there are a few ways you can interact:
- Feed - Use pet food to feed your pet, or coins if you have no food.
- Wash - Give your pet a bath.
- Play - Complete a mini-game with your pet, such as unscrambling a word.
- Hug - Show your pet you love it with a hug.
- Fetch - If your pet is trained, send it hunting for rewards. Your pet will leave for an hour or so. After an hour, use /pets activity to see what you received.
- Walk - After you walk your pet, it will sleep, and you won’t be able to interact with it for a short time. Pets may also randomly sleep when their energy is low.
- Drug - Buy your pet a temporary boost and “drug” it for 24 hours, so it returns from fetching faster, gains more pet XP, and appears more often while you’re running commands. The pet will also lose stats faster, which means it needs more attention and care.
Every time you take care of your pet, the pet will earn some XP and can level up. When your pet levels up, it can earn training points you can use to increase some of its abilities. You can use training points on the /pets view command.
If you level it up enough, you can prestige your pet. A prestiged pet can be taught skills that give it new abilities. Learn more about pet training and skills here.
Neglected Pets
At the end of each UTC day, you’ll receive a pet activity report that will tell you what your pets did that day. Pets can fight, fall in love, get sick, hunt items, and more. If you neglect your pets and let their love stat on /pets view get low, they will begin to lose levels and eventually get sick.
Once a pet is sick, your ability to interact with it is limited, and it will no longer go hunting. Sick pets can also spread the sickness to other pets within the same room.
Prestiged pets have a small chance to recover from sickness on their own, but if other pets in the room are sick, the recovering pet can quickly become sick again. The best way to cure sickness is to use Pet Medicine.
Pet Medicine can be found in the coin shop or on the market. When recovering, your pet won’t want to play or fetch.
Pet Sitters
If you love your pets but don't enjoy the daily chore of caring for them, or life has gotten a bit busy, you don’t have to neglect them! Instead, hire a sitter from the /pets sitter command to keep your pets from losing levels.
There are a few pet sitters to choose from, and every pet sitter has positives and negatives. For example, Winston seems to make pets fight, even ones that aren’t normally hostile to each other. Martha makes your pets more active, but the star means she’s a sitter for premium members only.
To hire a sitter, first pick which pet rooms you want the sitter to supervise. Then, check that you have enough money and food to pay the fee. The fee is per room, per day. Once you click start, it will charge the first day’s fee. You will not get a refund if you stop the pet sitter early.
If you continue to use the pet sitter, the fee will be charged every 24 hours until you click stop on the /pets sitter command or run out of money and food.
While active, your pet sitter will send you updates every 8 hours to let you know how your pets are doing. Your pets will level up while using a sitter, but it will be slower than if you cared for them yourself. Some sitters allow your pets to fetch, but others won’t. Read the descriptions to learn more about who you hire.
Pet Breeding
For a bit of extra fun, you can breed many of your favorite pets to create more. When you breed pets, the baby will be the same species as one of its parents.
To Breed Pets:
- Find a pet that shows as “friendly to” another pet. You can find the information on the /pets buy command for common pets, or on the info tab on the /pets view command for pets you own.
- Put the two pets you want to breed into the same pet room. You can move pets between rooms with the /pets rooms command.
- Make sure the room has at least one open spot for the baby pet.
- Care for your pets and keep them happy.
- Look for news that your pets have fallen in love on your daily Pet Activity DM, or use the /pets activity command to check more often.
- Once two pets have fallen in love, there’s a chance they will have a baby after 3 days.
If your pets don’t have a baby, they will fall out of love, and you have to start over. If they do have a baby, you’ll see it in your Pets Activity notice, and the new baby pet will be in the room.
To increase the chance of your pets having a baby during the love period, train one or both of your pets with the Loving skill. If you want your pets to decide if they’ll have a baby faster than 3 days, you can train them with the Impatient skill. You can learn more about pet skills here.
If you enjoy breeding pets, you can basically run a little pet shop and sell the babies with the market command. Any pets you want to sell need to be put in pet stasis first.
If at some point you end up with too many pets, you can also disown a few from the /pets view command or store them in stasis.
As you care for your pets, there’s plenty to explore beyond fetching items and raising babies. Fight your pets against others, customize them with unique skins, give them special names, and decorate your rooms to match your style. Whatever you do, play the way that works for you — but at least try not to neglect your poor pets!
