Introduction

The Summoning skill, aside from granting you the ability to call upon strange beings from another realm, also enables you to form close bonds with a number of animals native to Gielinor. These range from dogs and geckos right up to baby dragons!

Caring for Your Pet

When you have your pet out and following you, you will be able to right-click the Summoning icon next to the minimap and select 'Follower details' to see how your pet is getting along.

Like the interface for keeping track of your familiars, there are a couple of useful bits of information available.

The 'feeding dish' icon shows your pet's hunger. The higher the number, the more they need to eat. Your pet won't run away if you don't feed it, but it's cruel to not feed your pet so remember to keep some snacks on you! You can find out what your pet likes to eat by reading below.

The other icon, showing an adult bulldog and a bulldog puppy, shows how far your pet is towards being fully grown. Most pets go from being puppies/chicks/etc. to an adult state, but the Guthix raptor, Saradomin owl and Zamorak hawk all have an intermediate stage.

Unlike cats and pet rocks, not all pets can be obtained from quests, some can only be earned by hard work. As your Summoning level increases, you will find yourself able to care for a larger range of pets.

Unlike familiars, you do not have to have your pets out, and can put them in your inventory where they will snooze happily until you decide to bring them out again. Each type of pet has different needs, of course, so you should examine the following table carefully to make sure your pet doesn't tire of you and run away.

You can only have one of each type of pet at one time (unless you have a menagerie in your player-owned house); so, if you have a monkey you cannot trap another one. You can only have one follower (pet or familiar) out at a time.

Growing Up

Some pets will take an extraordinarily long time to mature, and most will only eat specific food. In most cases, you should be able to purchase the food you need from a pet shop.

If you find yourself in possession of an egg, you will need to use an incubator to make it hatch. You can find an incubator in any of the pet shops. After a short period of time you will be able to go back to the incubator to collect your new pet.

Note: The pets caught using the Hunter skill are the baby versions - you cannot catch an adult monkey to have as a pet, for instance.
