guide
An event reward spending guide for players deciding whether temporary rewards should fund pet upgrades or route support.
Short answer
Before using event rewards on pets in Grow a Garden, check whether the pet supports your main route, whether the event reward is temporary, and whether crop recovery still stays safe.
This is the fastest direct answer for readers who want the result first and the longer route logic second.
Use these pages when the short answer turns into a more specific choice.

A pet upgrade is stronger when it helps your normal route after the event ends. If it only feels exciting during the event window, compare it against stable farming first.
Do not spend event rewards on a pet if the crop loop then becomes hard to recover with. Support is valuable only when the route can still run.
If the pet is a close call, test the support role before committing more rewards. The event window should not force a blind all-in spend.
