Every rider needs a companion. In Saigon Rush your pet rides in the delivery basket on the back of your scooter and gives you a special power. There are 24 pets from the five World Tour cities to collect, including 12 new ones.
How to get pets
Tap 🐾 Pets on the start screen, then open a Mystery Box. Your first box is free, and after that each box costs 250 coins. Coins can only be earned by playing. There is no way to buy them with money.

Which pet should you ride with?
You can only take one pet on a ride, so choose based on what you're trying to do.
For a high score
🐶 Cún and 🐘 Chang keep you alive. A shield at the start means your first mistake doesn't end the ride, and Chang keeps giving you new shields, which is huge in the fast later levels. 🐍 Quetzal lets you survive one crash every ride, and 🦉 Fukurou makes every shield last for two hits. 🐸 Rana suits confident players who like cutting it close, because doubled close-call points add up quickly.
For collecting coins
🐉 Rồng is the best coin pet in the game. 🦊 Kitsune doubles the length of Rush Hour, which is when coins rain down. 🦜 Loro and 🐷 Mu are great if you like chasing high-paying 🔥 orders, and 🦅 Liberty doubles every delivery's pay. 🐞 Catarina brings twice as many treasures for your chest.
For learning the game
🐢 Kame gives you three extra seconds on every order, which makes on-time tips much easier while you learn the streets. 🐔 Gà is a small but steady boost for new riders. 🐃 Trâu makes lane-changing cars blink longer, so you have more time to react, and 🐈⬛ Bodie still earns half a tip when you're late.
Where the names come from
Each pet's name comes from its home city's language. Gà means chicken, Cún means puppy and Rồng means dragon in Vietnamese. Neko means cat, Kame turtle and Kitsune fox in Japanese. Mu (หมู) is Thai for pig, Ling (ลิง) for monkey and Chang (ช้าง) for elephant. Rana is Spanish for frog and Loro for parrot. Pidge is for New York's most famous street birds.
The new pets: Bò means cow and Trâu water buffalo in Vietnamese. Shiba is a Japanese dog breed and Fukurou means owl. Ped (เป็ด) is Thai for duck and Sua (เสือ) for tiger. Catarina is what Mexicans call a ladybug, and Mariposa is Spanish for butterfly; millions of monarch butterflies spend the winter in Mexico. Quetzal comes from Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent of Aztec legend. Liberty and Nutty are New Yorkers through and through, and Bodie is named after the bodega cats that guard corner shops all over the city.
