The Snowdrop pet will be available again during Winter Wonderland Season December to January. Until then if you want a Snowdrop pet you will have to find another player that has a Snowdrop who wishes to trade, sell or gift you this pet.
Well firstly, pets require lots of looking after and nurturing, so you must be sure you are ready to look after one. Once you are sure, you have to earn lots of orbs in order to buy a pet in the shop.
If you click on your character you will open the player card then click on the yellow star and choose your pet.
Your pet will follow you around garden party.
If you are a VIG Member (Very Important Gardener) your pet is a COOL pet that digs, sleeps and eats too.
Remember to take your pet out of the kennel so you can take them for a walk or you will see him in your inventory greyed out.
