How to Care for Your Animals in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life
In the idyllic Forgotten Valley, your farm is home to more than just livestock. You also have the pleasure of caring for your loyal companions - your dog and cat. These furry friends play a crucial role in your everyday life, and it's essential to provide them with the love and care they deserve.
On the very first day of your adventure in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, you'll encounter two friendly dogs while walking with Takakura. You have the opportunity to choose one of them as your pet, while the other finds a new home in the city. In case you lack the space to accommodate a pet, you can always offer it to the townspeople, who will gladly provide a loving home.
Once you've made your selection, you can give your new furry companion a name. A cozy doghouse will be set up beside your house for your dog to call home. While you don't have to worry about feeding your faithful friend, you can train them and teach them tricks. A well-trained dog can be incredibly helpful in herding your livestock, and you can even summon them from any location in town to join you.
As you embark on your second year in Forgotten Valley, Romana will present you with a charming cat. Just like your dog, you have the privilege of naming your feline friend. The cat will reside on your farm, and by interacting with it, you can strengthen your bond and increase your friendship level. This relationship system is similar to the one you have with human characters in the game.
In the summer of your first year, Takakura surprises you with a horse. You have the opportunity to choose the horse's color, although this decision is permanent and cannot be changed later on. The horse will occupy a barn slot and requires regular feeding, just like your other livestock. It's important to remember that regularly brushing your horse will keep it happy and clean.
Unlike your other animals, the horse serves a dual purpose. Not only can it be a valuable part of your farm, but it can also be your means of transportation outside of the farm. You can summon your horse from anywhere, and it will effortlessly ride through town. If you find your horse unable to be ridden, it may be asleep, but don't worry - you can wake it by calling its name.
Now you're equipped with all the knowledge you need to properly care for your livestock and pets in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. Whether you dream of galloping into the sunset on a majestic horse or simply want to show your animals some affection, refer to our comprehensive guide on pets and mounts in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life.
