Coin Master Pets: When to Use Foxy, Tiger or Rhino
Coin Master has 3 main pets, and each one helps in a different way. Foxy (the fox) helps during a Raid by giving you an extra dig, Tiger helps you earn more coins from an Attack, and Rhino has a chance to block attacks from other players. Waking up the right pet for what you are about to do makes every Pet Treat count.
How Pets Work in Coin Master
A pet can only help you while it is awake (Active). To wake it up, you feed it a Pet Treat, which keeps it awake for a certain amount of time. When the time runs out, the pet goes back to sleep and you need to feed it again to use it.
- Pet Treat: wakes a pet up so it works for a limited time.
- Pet XP Potion: levels a pet up. The higher its level, the stronger its ability.
- Choosing which pet to use: normally only one pet can be active at a time, so pick the one that fits your plan for that session.
Each pet unlocks as you progress through the game, so new players may not have all 3 yet.
Meet the 3 Pets
Foxy: your Raid helper
When the slot lands 3 pigs, you get to Raid another player's village, where you normally pick 3 holes out of 4 to dig. Foxy gives you an extra dig, so you have a better chance of finding more coins. Foxy is ideal for players who love raiding and for times when there is a Raid event.
Tiger: your Attack helper
When the slot lands 3 hammers, you get to Attack another player's village. Tiger helps you earn more coins from each Attack. It is ideal when you plan to spin a lot or when there is an Attack event.
Rhino: your village defender
Rhino has a chance to block attacks from other players, so it helps protect your village. It is ideal when you are offline, or when your village has expensive items you don't want damaged.
| Pet | What it helps with | When it works | Best time to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Foxy (fox) | Extra dig during a Raid | When you land 3 pigs and Raid | Raid events, or when you focus on collecting coins |
| Tiger | More coins from an Attack | When you land 3 hammers and Attack | Attack events, or long spinning sessions |
| Rhino | Chance to block attacks | When someone attacks your village | Long time offline, or while building expensive items |
Which Pet to Use When: Common Situations
You are about to use a lot of spins
If you have saved up a lot of spins and plan to spin non-stop, check which event is running. If it is a Raid event, wake up Foxy; if it is an Attack event, wake up Tiger. That way you earn event points and bonus coins from your pet at the same time.
You are about to go offline for a while
When you are not playing, for example while you sleep or work, waking up Foxy or Tiger does almost nothing because you are not spinning. Rhino makes more sense here, since it helps block attacks while you are away. Using it together with Shields helps even more. Read about Shields in how Shields work in Coin Master.
You only have the last item left before finishing a village
When you are collecting coins to finish a village, coins matter most. Foxy and Tiger help you collect coins faster, but if you are worried that items you have already built will be damaged, Rhino can reduce that risk. Choose based on your play style.
A short session of just a few minutes
If you don't have many spins and only play for a few minutes, you may not need a Pet Treat at all. The pet stays awake for a set period, so waking it up and playing only briefly wastes the rest of that time. Save your treats for when you have more spins.
Which Pet Should You Level Up First?
XP potions are limited, so pouring them into one pet first is usually better value than spreading them thin. Think about your play style:
- If you collect coins mainly from Raids, level up Foxy first, because you will use it often and see clear results whenever you hit pigs.
- If you spin a lot and Attack often, level up Tiger first to boost the coins from every Attack.
- If you play less and are often offline, Rhino may be the best value for you, since it protects you while you are away.
As a rule of thumb, use treats only when you can actually take advantage of an awake pet, and put your XP potions into the pet you use most.
Using Pets with the Bet Multiplier
The bet multiplier (Bet) multiplies the rewards you win on the slot, including coins from Attacks and Raids, while your pet adds another layer of bonus on top of that. That is why many players wake up their pet when they plan to use a high multiplier. Keep in mind, though, that a high multiplier also uses more spins on every spin, so only use it when you have enough spins, not to burn everything in a few turns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wake up several pets at the same time?
Normally only one pet can be active at a time, so pick the one that matches what you are about to do in that session.
Does Rhino block every attack?
No. Rhino has a chance to block an attack; it is not a 100% block. Its ability improves as it levels up, so use it together with Shields for extra safety.
Can a sleeping pet still help?
No. A pet has to be awake to use its ability, so you need to feed it a Pet Treat to wake it up every time.
Summary
Foxy is best for Raids, Tiger is best for Attacks, and Rhino is best for protecting your village while you are away. Wake up the pet that fits your plan, level up the one you use most first, and your pets will help you collect noticeably more coins.
