Ever since I got my first Dog pet in Grow a Garden, I’ve been curious about what it actually does. A lot of people on Discord, Reddit, and even YouTube keep asking the same thing: What does the Dog do in Grow a Garden Roblox?
So, I decided to test it myself and combine my results with data from top players and creators. In this guide, I’ll break down everything: from what seeds the Dog digs up, to whether it can really find Candy Blossom or even Beanstalk seeds.
If you’re also curious about high-value pets, don’t miss my research on Dragonfly’s worth in Grow a Garden.
The Dog’s Core Ability
The Dog isn’t just cosmetic, it’s a digging pet. According to the Grow a Garden Wiki and countless player tests:
Every ~60 seconds, the Dog has about a 5% chance to dig something up.
The items are usually seeds from the Seed Shop (Sunflower, Dandelion, etc.).
Sometimes, the Dog seems to pull up event seeds, though it’s rare.

Can Dogs Dig Up Candy Blossoms?
This is the big question: Can dogs dig up Candy Blossoms in Grow a Garden Roblox?
From my digging tests and what players show online:
Yes, but it’s rare. Multiple creators demonstrated dogs pulling up Candy Blossom seeds during events.
The estimated chance is <1%, based on community spreadsheets shared on Discord.
Candy Blossom is now an event-limited crop, so your dog’s chances depend on whether event seeds are in the current pool.

Beanstalk seed (players have caught it on video, though super rare)

Dog vs Other Pets
Here’s how the Dog compares with other pets in terms of utility and value (based on my research + wiki data + video analysis):
Pet | Ability | RNG % (est) | Player Demand |
|---|---|---|---|
Dog | Digs seeds | 5%/min | Medium (events) |
Cat | Boosts crops | N/A | High |
Dragonfly | Transmutation (gold crops) | ~1/min | Very High |
Butterfly | Light multiplier | N/A | Medium |

Is the Dog Pet Worth It?
So, is the Dog worth keeping in your team?
If you’re farming for rare event seeds, it’s an awesome sidekick.
If you’re only focused on multipliers (like gold crops from Dragonfly), the Dog won’t help much.
But for seed collectors and event grinders, it’s honestly a fun, underrated pet.

Final Thoughts
The Dog pet in Grow a Garden Roblox is more than just a cute companion, it’s a random seed digger with real potential. It might not be the strongest pet, but the excitement of seeing it dig up a Candy Blossom or Beanstalk seed is unmatched.
