Pet Store Tycoon: Animal List and Pet Families

Last updated 2026-10-05Unofficial player article

Browse Fish, Pocket Pets, Birds, Cats and Dogs, identify named animals such as Discus and Hamster, and choose a family to develop.


The Pet Store Tycoon animal list includes Fish, Pocket Pets, Birds, Cats and Dogs. Named examples you can look for include Goldfish and Discus among fish, plus Hedgehog, Ferret, Hamster and Mouse among Pocket Pets. Use the family names to browse the animal options available to your shop, then inspect the individual pets you receive.

This gameplay moves beyond the first fish shop into Pocket Pets and their Critter Nook.

Browse by animal family

Fish are the starting point of the early shop tutorial. Pocket Pets provide another family as the store progresses, while Birds, Cats and Dogs also appear among the animal-family options. A family is a browsing category, so do not confuse its name with a specific pet or a rarity label.

Use that distinction when choosing what to look for next. If you want a Hamster, browse the Pocket Pets options rather than treating every pack as interchangeable. If you are interested in a Discus, the relevant family is Fish. Having a family listed in the menu and having its options available to your current shop are separate questions.

Find these named pets

The table groups named animals by family. It is a starting list of recognizable pets, rather than a claim that these are the only outcomes you can receive. Inspect your own pack results for the exact name of a new arrival before deciding where it belongs in the store.

The family list and this named-animal table answer different questions. Birds, Cats and Dogs belong in the broader family list even though this table does not assign species to those families. A short named list is more useful than guessing a particular breed from a picture or a familiar real-world animal name.

Choose a family before buying its pets

Decide which part of the animal selection you are trying to add to the shop. You can then work toward an available option within that family instead of buying unrelated packs simply because they appear first in a menu.

For progression, continue with unlocking animals. For obtaining and keeping the animals revealed by a pack, use the pet-pack guide. Those tasks are different from identifying a name in the list: recognizing a Ferret does not itself unlock its family or add one to your shop.

Keep your collection goal specific

An early goal such as adding a Pocket Pet is easier to follow than trying to complete every animal family immediately. Pick the family you want to develop, inspect its currently available options, and use the animal names shown in your own shop to track what you already have.

If you are still establishing the fish shop, follow the beginner guide before chasing a wider collection. A functioning starting store gives you a clearer next step than a list of animals with no plan for obtaining them.
