Pet Store Tycoon
Store expansion costs and levels: all 15 rooms
The official Discord FAQ lists 15 store expansions. Each one opens at the level shown and costs the listed amount of in-game cash. The running total adds every earlier expansion in the list.
The 5th expansion, the Side Room at Level 14, matters beyond space: the FAQ says the Marine Life area opens after you reach Level 14 and unlock the 5th expansion. The last three rooms are on a second floor, starting at Level 35.
The FAQ does not say whether rooms must be bought in this order or what each room adds in space. Prices are from the FAQ text, not a purchase we made; check the price shown in your game before saving up.

XP needed per level: Levels 1–60
Find your current level for the XP you need to reach the next one. Rows marked Observed (Levels 18–33) were recorded during play on October 12, 2026. Every row marked Estimate is calculated from those 15 observations, not read from the game.
From Level 24 (Dogs) to Level 30 (Reptiles) takes 16,380 XP, based on observed values. To work out any other range, subtract the total on the row ending at your current level from the total on the row ending at your target, then subtract XP already earned toward your current level. Totals assume 0 XP at the start of Level 1.
How the estimates are calculated: the observed level-ups fit XP to next level ≈ 250 × 1.1^(L − 1) − 150, rounded to the nearest 10, where L is your current level. We fitted it to Levels 18–29, and the later observations for Levels 29–33 matched its predictions exactly. It matches all 15 observed values, but it is our fit, not a formula published by the developer. Estimates further from Levels 18–33 are less certain, and the game could use a different curve or a level cap. A player at Level 60 was seen in game on October 12, 2026, so the table runs to 60. See animal unlock levels.

How to earn XP faster
Three XP sources checked during play on October 12, 2026. Only quest XP has a rough amount; the game has not shown us how much XP sales or other actions give.
| XP source | What you get | Cost and known problems |
|---|---|---|
| Daily quests | A few dozen XP per completed quest | Free. One player reported on October 6, 2026 that the sell-pets quest gave no money or XP and did not show as complete |
| 2× XP boost at login | A free 2× XP boost shown when you log in. It is separate from the 7-day Daily Check-in, which has no XP reward; one player reported a 30-minute boost | Free. One player reported on October 9, 2026 that a daily-reward boost was gone after leaving and rejoining, so use it in one session |
| 2× XP boost (Robux) | Double XP earned while it runs | 19 Robux for 15 min, 35 for 30 min, 59 for 60 min |
Reptile enclosures at Level 30
The official reptile update adds three new reptile enclosures and says Reptiles unlock at Level 30. The announcement does not list enclosure prices. Check the current build menu before budgeting for them.
A purchase checklist
- Read the exact upgrade name and price shown in your server.
- Check prerequisites before comparing it with other purchases.
- Decide what problem the upgrade should solve in your current store.
- Confirm you will be able to use the new feature after buying it.
- After the purchase, check the result before repeating the same strategy.
Animal unlocks, expansion, or decoration?
| Your goal | What to inspect |
|---|---|
| More variety | Available animal unlocks and their requirements. |
| A larger shop | The next room in the expansion table above, with its level and price. |
| A different look | Decoration options, placement and current prices. |
| Better earnings | Evidence that the purchase changes income, rather than a guess based on its name. |
Think about the route through your shop
Follow your normal route from animals to shelves to customers. Notice where you repeatedly pause or backtrack. If the building controls allow it, adjust one element and compare the next session.
Screenshots and dimensions from another player are only useful when they match your current game and progression stage.
Second floor rooms
According to the official Discord FAQ, the second floor has three expansion rooms: Floor 2 · Room 1 at Level 35 for $100,000, Room 2 at Level 37 for $145,000 and Room 3 at Level 39 for $210,000. The full list is in the expansion table above.
The FAQ does not list a third floor, kennel construction or a maximum store capacity. The older same-named game by DantesDivine has its own floor system; use the version guide before following a building tutorial.
How Golden Tickets work
A Golden Ticket from daily rewards turns a shelf into a golden shelf that sells for 2x. According to the official FAQ, it stays golden when you upgrade the shelf.
How to remove shelves, tanks and counters
Select the fixture → Move → Pack, carry the box to the dumpster outside and drop it in. The official FAQ also gives these platform-specific controls; we have not independently tested each platform.
| Platform | Controls |
|---|---|
| Phone | Pick up the item, pack it, then drag it into the bin outside your store. |
| PC | Press Q to pick up the item, then E to box it. Drag it to the outside dumpster and press E there. |
| Console | Press Triangle/Y to pick up the item, hold Triangle/Y to box it, then drag it to the bin and press Triangle/Y. |
Upgrade a tank you already own
Click a tank and choose Upgrade instead of buying a replacement, as recommended by the official FAQ. The FAQ does not list upgrade prices or requirements.
