In Stardew Valley, losing friendship with animals is not a concern as there is no mechanism for pet friendship to decrease, meaning that ignoring your pet or even using a slingshot on your pet will not decrease friendship. However, when it comes to farm animals, their happiness and mood can be affected by factors such as being left outside at night or not being fed, but this does not directly impact the friendship level.
