Are you ready for the most exciting pet-focused event in Roblox Grow a Garden? The Feed a Pet update is coming this weekend, bringing a brand new limited-time minigame that will revolutionize how you interact with your furry companions! As a dedicated Grow a Garden player myself, I’ve been tracking every detail about this update, and I’m here to give you the ultimate guide to maximize your rewards and dominate this event.

Quick Overview: Feed a Pet Event at a Glance

What is the Feed a Pet Update?

The Feed a Pet update represents one of the most significant content additions to Grow a Garden in recent months. This week-long event introduces a completely new pet-centric minigame where players feed their animal companions various crops and items to earn exclusive rewards. Based on my research and analysis of previous events, this update will likely transform how players engage with their pets and could potentially introduce new pet progression mechanics.

What makes this update particularly exciting is that it builds upon the existing pet system while adding fresh gameplay elements. Pets in Grow a Garden already provide valuable benefits like growth buffs, seed discovery bonuses, and speed boosts, but this event will give you a focused opportunity to strengthen your bond with them and unlock special rewards that aren’t available through regular gameplay.

Global Launch Times – Don’t Miss It!

Timing is crucial for this event, especially since it’s only running for one week. Here’s when the Feed a Pet update goes live in your region:

Region	Local Time
US East (EST)	Saturday, January 10 at 1:00 PM
US West (PST)	Saturday, January 10 at 10:00 AM
UK (GMT)	Saturday, January 10 at 6:00 PM
India (IST)	Saturday, January 10 at 11:30 PM
Australia (AEDT)	Sunday, January 11 at 4:30 AM

Pro Tip: Set multiple reminders! I always recommend setting alarms for both the Admin Abuse event (one hour before) and the main update launch. The Admin Abuse period often features special weather events or unique game changes that experienced players love to participate in.
