Every Animal in Stardew Valley
There are many different types of animals in Stardew Valley, some of which are wildlife and others which have a role on the farm. Fortunately, we’ve outlined every type of animal in Stardew Valley as follows to help you understand more about the different species and how they might be useful for your needs.Pets
To begin with, the first animal you will have on your farm is a pet—and there are several different companion animals that you can get in the game. Companion animals include the following species.| Species | Colors | Purchase Price |
|---|---|---|
| Dogs | Brown, tan, black and white | Free (at the start of the game) and 40,000g for each additional dog |
| Cats | Ginger, black and white, yellow, white, black | Free (at the start of the game) and 40,000g for each additional dog |
| Turtles | Green and tan or purple and green | 60,000g for the first turtle and 500,000g for the second |
| Horses | Brown | Free with the construction of a stable |
It’s worth noting here that, at the start of the game, you will begin with one type of pet of your choosing. However, after you reach maximum friendship with your initial pet, you will have the option to purchase additional licences to own more than one pet. You will need to provide additional pets with an extra bowl, which you can get Robin to build at the carpenter’s shop.
Of the different companion animal species, the horse is generally considered to be the most useful since it allows
you to ride from place to place. Riding a horse significantly increases your movement speed, making it easier to get to your destination on time.

It’s worth noting, though, that some of these are wild animals; in terms of animals you can farm, there are nine species available, plus slimes (making ten).
What animals can be raised in a Stardew Valley barn?

How can I build a Stardew Valley barn to raise livestock?
If you are looking to begin raising livestock on your Stardew Valley farm, you’ll need to have first built a coop or a barn to house them. These can be built by Robin the carpenter; you will need to gather enough resources to build the barn or coop, too. If you do not have these, you can potentially purchase them directly from Robin, although this can get expensive very quickly.
Can I buy any type of farm animal from Marnie’s Ranch?
No. Not all species of farm animals are available at Marnie’s Ranch. Namely, ostriches and dinosaurs can only be hatched from eggs and cannot be purchased directly from Marnie. Furthermore, fish have to be caught in order to raise them in a fish pond, as Willie does not sell them as standard in his fishing shop.
