How to Equip Two Pets in Adopt Me (2026)
Adopt Me limits players to one active pet by default, no matter how big their collection gets. That changed on August 1, 2024, with the introduction of the Pets Plus subscription, which finally gave players a way to bring a second pet along.
Pets Plus costs a small monthly fee and comes with more than just the second pet slot. Subscribers also get a reduced task list for the second pet, a higher daily Bucks cap, and access to extras like the VIP Room and Limo. Players who don't want to pay can still pull off a workaround using the Family system, though it takes a second account or another player to set up and doesn't always hold up in every situation.
In this article, we'll explore how to equip two pets in Adopt Me, covering the Pets Plus subscription, the free Family method, and the extra perks that come with going Plus.
How to Equip Two Pets
Equipping two pets in Adopt Me requires the Pets Plus subscription. Here's how to set it up:
Head to the Adopt Me page on the Roblox store and purchase the Pets Plus subscription for 299 Robux a month (pricing may vary by region).
Launch Adopt Me. If you were already in the game while subscribing, leave and rejoin for the change to take effect.
Open your pet inventory and select a pet.
Choose one pet as your main and a second as your alternate.
Both pets will then follow you around Adoption Island and your house, with the second pet keeping its own separate, lighter task list, so you can raise both at the same time instead of switching back and forth.
Pet Handler Pro Certificate
Pets Plus isn't the only paid route to a second pet. The Pet Handler Pro Certificate is a one-time purchase for 250 Robux from the in-game store, and it works the same way once you have it, letting you set a main and an alternate pet from your inventory.
Activating a Pet Handler Pro Certificate lets you equip two pets and raises your Bucks cap for 30 days. You can also stack up to three certificates at once for 90 days of benefits in a single go, which cuts down on how often you need to repurchase or reactivate one.
The catch is that once your certificates run out, you're back to equipping a single pet unless you buy more or switch over to Pets Plus. It's a decent option if you only need the second pet slot temporarily and don't want a recurring subscription, but Pets Plus works out cheaper long term if you plan on keeping two pets equipped permanently.
How to Equip Two Pets for Free
Pets Plus isn't the only way to bring two pets along, though the free method takes more setup. It relies on the Family system rather than any in-game purchase.
Open the Friends menu and click the small blue icon next to the Friends/Nearby tab to bring up the Family option (Uplift Games moved this from the old orange icon in a 2026 update).
Invite another player, or an alt account, to join your family.
Have the other player or alt accept the invitation.
Bring that character into your house, either by inviting them directly or having them teleport in.
Pick up the pet belonging to the other character.
Leave the house with that pet still in hand, either by clicking Leave House or walking out.
Drop the pet once you're outside, and it will start following your main character.
This method only works inside your house, and it requires a second account or another player willing to help, so it's more of a workaround than a permanent fix. It also doesn't always behave consistently, so Pets Plus remains the more reliable option if you want two pets following you long-term.
Pets Plus Benefits
Beyond the second pet slot, Pets Plus comes with several perks that make the subscription worth considering on its own.
Increased daily Bucks earning cap
VIP chat tag and name color
Access to the VIP lounge area in the Nursery
Six-seater Limo
Exclusive VIP house
Protected login streaks, so missing a day won't reset your progress
Reduced task list for the second pet, cut down to a fraction of what the first pet requires
That reduced task list is what actually makes raising two pets manageable instead of doubling your workload entirely.
Final Words
Equipping two pets in Adopt Me comes down to a simple choice. Pets Plus gets you a reliable second pet slot along with a stack of extra perks for a small monthly cost, while the Family method gets the job done for free but takes more setup and only works inside your house. Either way, raising two pets at once means less switching and faster progress across your collection.
