'''Petpets''' (sometimes ''PetPets'') are pets for a user's [[Neopet]]. They are classified as [[items]], and can be attached to a Neopet much like [[weapons]]. 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.  
Petpetpets are usually rather expensive, and so are often viewed as a status symbol. The Petpetpet article of the Neopets Help section tells us that "Petpetpets are usually found by your Petpet. Very rarely, Petpets are able to catch one of these elusive little bugs in their mouth, and happily bring them back to their owners." If the sole source of the Petpetpets is indeed a random event, that would certainly help explain their rarity, and hence their high prices.


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].  
Once obtained, a Petpetpet will attach itself to your Petpet. Simply follow the instructions below.


There are also [[Petpetpet]]s, parasites that live on Petpets, which are a pet to the Petpet.
#Make sure that the Petpet you want to add the Petpetpet to is attached to your active pet.
#Place the Petpetpet in your inventory.
#Refresh your inventory until the Petpetpet disappears.


==Petpet Shops==
Assuming that the dissapearance was not the fault of the [[Pant Devil]], the Petpetpet should now be attached to the Petpet of your active pet.
There are many shops around Neopia where you may purchase a Petpet for your pet:

In the unlikely incident that you wish to remove the Petpetpet, you will need to unequip your Petpet. This can be achieved by clicking on the Petpet on your Quick Ref page and selecting "Stop Playing with (Petpet's name)." You ''will'' lose the Petpetpet, however, so be sure this is really what you want to do before you do it.

Just a few of the Petpetpets available

A Petpetpet is pet for a Petpet. Many of them resemble insects, leading many to believe that these critters are actually parasites of Petpets, much like real-world fleas and ticks. As of May 31, 2006, there are 30 Petpetpets in existence.

Petpetpets are usually rather expensive, and so are often viewed as a status symbol. The Petpetpet article of the Neopets Help section tells us that "Petpetpets are usually found by your Petpet. Very rarely, Petpets are able to catch one of these elusive little bugs in their mouth, and happily bring them back to their owners." If the sole source of the Petpetpets is indeed a random event, that would certainly help explain their rarity, and hence their high prices.

Once obtained, a Petpetpet will attach itself to your Petpet. Simply follow the instructions below.

  1. Make sure that the Petpet you want to add the Petpetpet to is attached to your active pet.
  2. Place the Petpetpet in your inventory.
  3. Refresh your inventory until the Petpetpet disappears.

Assuming that the dissapearance was not the fault of the Pant Devil, the Petpetpet should now be attached to the Petpet of your active pet.

In the unlikely incident that you wish to remove the Petpetpet, you will need to unequip your Petpet. This can be achieved by clicking on the Petpet on your Quick Ref page and selecting "Stop Playing with (Petpet's name)." You will lose the Petpetpet, however, so be sure this is really what you want to do before you do it.
