Find out what the Shiba Inu pet does in Grow a Garden, including how to get it, hatch chances, and its passive ability.
The Shiba Inu is one of six exclusive pets you can hatch from the Zen Egg, introduced during the Zen Update on July 19, 2025. This pet shares similarities with the Dog and Golden Lab pets, offering a passive that helps you collect seeds automatically as you play.
How To Get the Shiba Inu in Grow a Garden Roblox
To unlock the Shiba Inu, you’ll need to hatch it from a Zen Egg, which has a 40% chance of containing the Shiba Inu when opened.
Ways To Get a Zen Egg:
- Buy from the Zen Shop for 30 Chi (earned by turning in Tranquil plants to the Zen NPC).
- Purchase directly for 149 Robux.
- Give Tranquil fruits to the Zen Channeller for a random reward that may include a Zen Egg.

What Does The Shiba Inu Do?
The Shiba Inu comes with a passive ability called Man’s Best Tomodachi. Every 60 seconds, there’s about a 15% chance that it will dig up a random Seed Shop seed for you. This makes it a great pet for idle farming and expanding your seed collection over time.
Note: Like the Golden Lab, it cannot dig up event or limited seeds, only seeds from the regular shop.
