Unlocking the pets in Task Bar Hero gives you powerful advantages for your team. These pets offer one or two permanent boosts that improve your experience gain, gold collection, and chest drop chances. It’s less about which pet is the best and more about how quickly you can add them all to your team. Below, I’ve outlined the steps to unlock each pet in the game.
How to get all the pets in Task Bar Hero
Most of the pets can be unlocked by defeating a certain number of specific enemies. Five out of the eight pets require you to eliminate 5,000 of a particular enemy. These enemies usually appear only in certain levels, so it’s easy to overlook them. The easiest way to unlock these pets is to replay those levels using the portal until you reach the required number of kills. Keep in mind, this method only works when the game is active.
The last three pets are only available if you purchase the premium DLC Supporter Pack, so you’ll need to spend some real money if you want to complete your collection. Once you unlock a pet, its benefits become a permanent boost for your team. Additionally, you can assign one pet to join your team for cosmetic reasons.

The premium pets help you gather resources faster and level up quicker, making it easier to get strong in the game. However, they’re not necessary for enjoying the game. It’s a good idea to unlock the remaining pets as you play, so you gain their benefits early on.
