Animal Jam Pets Guide

Have you ever wondered if your animal in Animal Jam is feeling lonely? I’m sure any Jammer is giving enough attention to their animals, but what if? Luckily, it is possible to buy Pets that will accompany your animals through their adventures in Jamaa. Pets are just small animals that follow your main animals around. They look cute, and are great companions to have.

You can buy Pets at several locations in Jamaa, such as the Diamond Shop, Flippers N’ Fins, Claws N’ Paws and the Pets-only Party. There is also a Pets section in the Change Your Look menu, where you can choose and buy different Pets. They were first announced on June 9, 2011. The first Pets appeared into the game on June 23, 2011. Do any of you already own any Pets? Let us know below!

How to Buy Pets in Animal Jam

There are a number of different locations where you can buy Pets in Jamaa. However, we are going to take a look at the two easiest ways. Firstly, you can go to the Diamond Shop in the Jamaa Township to buy Pets. The Diamond Shop is the shop with the Diamond Banners on it. Go inside by going through the front door.

Once there, you will see a giant wolf statue in the center of it. Next to the statue, you will find a small crib with baby animals in it. If you click on that crib, it will take you to the Pets store. There, you can select which Pets you want to buy. The Pets at the Diamond Shop cost 3 Diamonds to buy.

Another way to easily buy new Pets is by going to the Change Your Look menu. The menu is located at the bottom-left corner of your screen. Just click on your animal’s avatar. Once you are there, you will see a large “Pets’ button, with a butterfly on it. Click on that button.

Now you will see all the pets you own, but you will also see blue butterflies. If you click on a blue butterfly, you will see a selection of Pets that you can buy, either with Diamonds or with Gems. They either cost 3 Diamonds, or they cost 450 Gems. Once bought, the Pet will appear at the “My Pets” menu, and you can swap them out if you want another Pet companion.
