Diablo 4 Pets are more than just a fuzzy companion to follow you around on your adventures, as they also hoover up any dropped Gold and Materials in the nearby area so you don't have to run around collecting it yourself. This is particularly handy during the more hectic battles in Diablo 4, and means you shouldn't miss out on resources when you have more important things on your mind – such as slaying monsters and staying alive! Remember, if you've unlocked a furry friend previously then you'll still need to add them to your new character in the latest season via the Wardrobe, so here's how to unlock and equip Pets in Diablo 4.

To unlock Diablo 4 Pets, you need to complete the Faithful Companion Priority Quest that appears in your log – there are no level restrictions on this so you should be able to initiate it immediately, no matter how far into your adventure you currently are. The quest marker is in Kyovashad, the main city in Fractured Peaks, so use the Waypoint to fast travel to the nearby area.

Head to the northwest end of the town and the quest marker, where you'll find a Well Behaved Dog. All you need to do now is follow the Interact prompt to Pet the Dog, which will complete the quest and unlock Pets in Diablo 4. At any point from now when you have a Pet equipped, you can use the Hello emote when nearby to interact with them.

How to equip Pets in Diablo 4

Once you've completed the quest, you can equip Pets in Diablo 4 by visiting your Wardrobe in any of the major cities or by opening it via the Character menu screen. A Pets tab is available on this customization screen, so open that and then select your companion before backing out to the main Wardrobe screen and following the Confirm Look prompt to add them by your side.

When you access your wardrobe to equip your Pet in Diablo 4, you may have noticed that there are another three options in the menu that could be locked out – Hratli the Canine, Natalya the Tiger, and Alkor the Snow Leopard. At the time of writing the only way to get more Pets is by purchasing the Diablo 4 DLC, Vessel of Hatred, and the companion(s) you'll unlock will depend on which version you buy:

  • Ultimate Edition: Hratli, Natalya, and Alkor
  • Deluxe Edition: Hratli and Alkor
  • Standard Edition: Alkor
