In this guide, we&#8217;ll walk you through <strong>how to get a pet in Grounded<\/strong> and keep its happiness meter high.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1hr6edf5v3\">How To Get A Pet In Grounded<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/O8cNV_2yDYQ1NmbZItDFA7jx_H4b6-3ptDAGqnFBVLM\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMy82NjE2ZDYyYjZiNjdkLWFwaGlkLnBuZw\" alt=\"pets grounded\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">There are three types of pets in Grounded. (Picture: Obsidian Entertainment)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To get a pet in Grounded, you&#8217;ll need to <strong>tame an insect<\/strong>. There are three different types of insects that can be tamed: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/video-games\/how-to-tame-aphids-in-grounded\">Aphids<\/a>, <strong>Gnats<\/strong>, and<strong> Weevils<\/strong>. To tame any of these insects, you&#8217;ll need to use a Slurry; the type of Slurry needed depends on the type of insect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aphids require Plant Slurry<\/li>\n<li>Weevils require Mushroom Slurry<\/li>\n<li>Gnats require Spoiled Meat Slurry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just make the Slurry, find a wild insect, and place it right in front of them. They&#8217;ll immediately notice the kind gesture and will become tamed!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1hr6edf5v4\">Pet Bonuses In Grounded<\/h2>\n<p>All three types of pets in Grounded provide some kind of boost, making it worthwhile to bring a pet on your team. Here&#8217;s what type of bonus each pet provides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Aphids<\/strong>: Reduces sprint stamina drain<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weevils:<\/strong> Reduced thirst drain rate<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gnats: <\/strong>Faster speed with Dandelion Tufts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1hr6edf5v5\">How To Raise Pet Happiness Meter<\/h2>\n<p>No matter what type of pet you have, it&#8217;ll have a happiness meter that you&#8217;ll need to keep up. If you don&#8217;t keep it high enough, your pet may feel neglected and will leave you, so it&#8217;s important to pay attention to your pet&#8217;s happiness. To <strong>raise the happiness meter<\/strong>, there are many different things you can do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Give the pet clothing<\/li>\n<li>Interact with the pet by bringing it with you on trips and petting it<\/li>\n<li>Keep it safe from harm<\/li>\n<li>Feed the pet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To keep your pet alive, you&#8217;ll not only need to keep up the happiness meter but keep your pet away from any enemies. Predators can kill your pets, and when they do, they&#8217;re gone for good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents How To Get A Pet In Grounded Pet Bonuses In Grounded How To Raise Pet Happiness Meter In Grounded, you can tame&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12834,"featured_media":62737,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-grounded","genre-action-adventure","content_type-guide-tutorial"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
