Players are given additional pet privileges with the arrival of the Stardew Valley update version 1.6. In a tweak to the game’s standard pet ownership system, players can now own more than one four-legged companion.
But for those who aren’t aware, how can you reach maximum relationship hearts with a pet in Stardew Valley? The process is relatively simple to approach, yet some dedication is needed.
Stardew Valley players can reach the max hearts with either their dog or cat by petting their pet every day. Show your pet some love whenever you step out onto your farm to attain a maximum of 1,000 friendship/relationship points.
HOW TO REACH MAX HEARTS WITH PET IN STARDEW VALLEY
Each pet results in twelve points toward the maximum 1,000 threshold. Moreover, you can fill your pet’s bowl to acquire six points by the following day.
Judging by how much love is needed, expect this process to endure. If you skip the bowl and pet your dog or cat every day for 80 or so days in the game, you’ll attain max hearts.
The results will slowly roll in if you abide by the bowl and choose not to pet your dog or cat. Therefore, fill your pet’s bowl and show them a little love every day for the best results.
After reaching max hearts with your first pet, it’s time to prepare your farmhouse for another companion to move in. To begin, head over to Robin’s Carpenter’s Shop to purchase a new Pet Bowl. It’s listed under the “Construct Farm Building” section of her dialogue.
From there, you’ll receive a letter from ranch owner Marnie regarding your undying love for your pet and the fact that new adoptions are open in Stardew Valley. This also introduces the licensing fees, which ultimately allow you to own more than one pet.
