How do I equip a critter as a Disney Dreamlight Valley companion?
After you’ve fed a critter a couple of times, you earn their trust. Doing so allows you to equip them as a companion, and have them following you around everywhere you go. In order to equip them, all you need to do is go to your wardrobe and open the companion tab. From there, choose the animal you want at your side.
That’s it for our Disney Dreamlight Valley critters guide. If you’ve worked up an appetite running around after all these adorable animals, check out our Disney Dreamlight Valley ratatouille and Disney Dreamlight Valley crudites guides – no poison apples required.
