Players can obtain numerous pets as they explore the world of Disney Dreamlight Valley, though they can only have one companion following them at a time. While it is not particularly difficult to switch animal companions, some fans may be confused about what menu they must use. This guide is here to shine some light on this matter, and it should make it quite easy for players to switch their pets in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Disney Dreamlight Valley: How to Switch Pets

In order to switch animal companions, a player must first open their Inventory. To perform this action, fans of life sim games should direct their attention to the top-right corner of the screen and press the input that appears next to the backpack icon. Then, once a player has accessed their inventory, they should select the Wardrobe tab on the left side.

Upon entering the Wardrobe, players will see numerous options, the vast majority of which are focused on clothing in Disney Dreamlight Valley. However, there is a Companions button within this menu, and fans should click on it to see all the pets that they have in their possession. From there, players must simply select the animal companion that they would like to have following them and then close out of the menus to see the pet in action.

To note, players cannot currently switch their pets when they are inside or visiting a Realm. However, it is certainly possible that things will change as the game's Early Access period continues and its official release approaches. Indeed, it may only be a matter of time before animal companions can be swapped anywhere, and that would certainly please players that want to take pictures with their pets in a variety of locations.

With respect to how players can go about expanding their roster of available pets, befriending the various animals that appear in the wild is a great option. That is done by feeding creatures, though these animals may not become companions the first time that they are offered food. If a Disney fan does not see an animal in their Companion list after they have fed it, they should simply try giving it a different food on another day.

Players can also obtain some special pets by purchasing the Deluxe Edition or the Ultimate Edition of Disney Dreamlight Valley. More specifically, fans that buy the Deluxe Edition will receive the Celestial Sea Turtle animal companion, while those that spring for the Ultimate Edition will receive the Celestial Sea Turtle as well as the Regal Fox.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
