All Pet Crafting Recipes in Grow a Garden
The pet crafting station lets you make three different items, and they all need coal as a base ingredient. You'll want to stock up on coal first since it's required for every recipe. Here are all the pet crafting recipes available
| Item | Ingredients | Crafting Time | Description |
| Gem Egg | 1x Common Egg, 3x Common Coal, 1 million sheckles | 10 minutes | Special Smithing event pet egg |
| Smithing Dog | 1x Dog, 2x Rare Coal, 3 million sheckles | 20 minutes | Has a 10.09% chance to dig up coal every 4.59 minutes |
| Cheetah | 1x Orange Tabby, 2x Legendary Coal, 8.5 million sheckles | 40 minutes | Every 7.50 minutes, turns you into a cheetah for 30 seconds. All harvested fruit during this time have a 15.36% chance to get the Wildfast mutation |
The Cheetah is definitely the most expensive option here, but that Wildfast mutation chance makes it worth the investment if you're serious about mutations. The Smithing Dog is more of a passive coal generator, which helps you keep crafting without constantly feeding the furnace.

How to Use the Pet Crafting Station
Getting started with pet crafting is straightforward once you know where everything is. The pet station is one of four crafting stations around the central furnace in the event area.
Walk up to the central event area and find the pet crafting station. Before you can craft anything, you need coal. Get coal by submitting plants, eggs, and gears to the furnace. Each submission gives you coal based on what you put in.
Once you have the ingredients ready, press E to interact with the pet crafting station. A menu pops up showing all three recipes. Click on the recipe you want to make, then hit the green Craft button.
Now you need to submit your ingredients. You can either add them one at a time or press F to submit everything at once. Pay the sheckles amount, and the crafting timer starts. After the crafting time finishes, press E again to collect your new pet or egg.
Getting the Ingredients You Need
Coal is the main ingredient for everything at the pet station, and you need different rarities depending on what you're making. Common Coal works for the Gem Egg, Rare Coal for the Smithing Dog, and Legendary Coal for the Cheetah.
The furnace at the center of the event area is where you get coal. Submit plants, eggs, and gears to it. Higher rarity items you submit give you better coal. If you're going for the Cheetah, you'll need to submit your best stuff to get Legendary Coal.
For the actual pets, you need a Dog (any rarity works) for the Smithing Dog recipe, and an Orange Tabby for the Cheetah recipe. The Gem Egg just needs a Common Egg, which is the easiest to get.
Don't forget about the sheckles cost. The Gem Egg is 1 million, Smithing Dog is 3 million, and the Cheetah costs 8.5 million. Make sure you have enough saved up before starting the craft.

FAQ Section
What pets can you craft in the Smithing event?
You can craft the Smithing Dog and the Cheetah at the pet crafting station. There's also the Gem Egg which contains a special Smithing event pet, but you won't know what's inside until you hatch it.
How long does pet crafting take in Grow a Garden?
The Gem Egg takes 10 minutes to craft, the Smithing Dog takes 20 minutes, and the Cheetah takes 40 minutes. You can't speed up the process, so plan your crafting sessions accordingly.
What's the best pet to craft first?
The Smithing Dog is probably your best first craft. It only costs 3 million sheckles and helps you generate more coal passively, which makes it easier to craft the Cheetah later. The Gem Egg is cheapest but it's random what you get from it.
How do you get Legendary Coal for the Cheetah?
Submit high-rarity items to the furnace in the center of the event area. The rarer the items you submit, the better coal you get back. You need to submit your best plants, eggs, and gears to get Legendary Coal.
Is the Cheetah worth 8.5 million sheckles?
If you're serious about mutations, yes. The 15.36% chance to get Wildfast mutation on harvested fruit is huge for mutation farming. It's expensive but the Cheetah pays for itself if you're grinding mutations.
Conclusion
The pet crafting station in Grow a Garden's Smithing event gives you three solid options, each with different benefits. The Gem Egg is your budget option at 1 million sheckles, the Smithing Dog helps generate coal at 3 million, and the Cheetah is the endgame pet at 8.5 million with its mutation farming ability.
