Editing Petpet

[[Image:Petpet day 2005.gif|right]]

'''Petpets''' (sometimes ''PetPets'') are pets for a user's [[Neopet]]. A class of [[items]] created on September 27, 2000, they can be attached to a Neopet much like [[Battledome Equipment]]. Most Petpets can be purchased in official Neopian [[shops]], but some are gained only by other activities, such as using the [[Cooking Pot]]. 

For a long time, Petpets could not be painted, but this was changed on October 2, 2001 with the introduction of the [[Petpet Paint Brush]], which is used at the [[The Rainbow Pool#Petpet Puddle|Petpet Puddle]]. Later, on August 3, 2005, the [[Petpet Lab Ray]] was introduced. Like the Neopet [[Lab Ray]], the Petpet equivalent can alter a Petpet's [[colour]] and other statistics, such as species, level and name. The Petpet even has a chance of being completely destroyed. 

A Petpet can also gain levels at the [[Petpet Battledome]] and by waking the [[Turmaculus]], but its levels will not be retained if the Petpet is ever removed from its Neopet. In turn, these levels can  help the Neopet in the Battledome, acting as an attack multiplier. 

There are also [[Petpetpet]]s, parasites that live on Petpets, which are a pet to the Petpet.

There are currently '''522''' petpets as of November 2013.

Nowadays, Neopians can use a sub web site called [[Petpet Park]], with talking petpets as characters.

===Old Aquatic PetPets===

There where thirty PetPets that could have been bought at the Aquatic PetPets shop in Old Maraqua.

Most of the old PetPets were in fish bowls, giving them more of a pet-like appeaarance. However, you can still see the petpet's old image if it is still equipped to a [[Neopet]]. If an old PetPet were to be unequipped from a Neopet, it would convert into the newer version of it. There are thirty old Aquatic PetPets as followed:

The '''Petpet Protection League''' (''PPL'' for short) is a group of [[Neopian]]s who reward [[Neopet]]s for taking good care of their [[Petpet]]. Each week they select a random species of Petpet and reward users whose Neopets have had them for the longest by paying 10 [[Neopoints]] for every day they have been owned. Users who have the oldest of the selected species receive a [[Trophy]] as well.

Neopets who take their Petpet to the [[Treasure_Maps#Petpet_Laboratory|Petpet Laboratory]] are not counted in the PPL, as it's viewed as a form of cruelty against Petpets.
