[[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 [[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 [http://idb.finalhit.org/?searchtype=page&page=articles&a_id=89 attack multiplier]. 

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

:''Main Article: [[Petpet Protection League]]''

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.
