The game doesn’t exactly tell you how to do it, but thankfully, it’s quite easy. You can pet your Pals in Palworld by pressing the “4” key while looking at your Pal, then selecting the “Pet” option.

Once you catch and tame a Pal, whether it’s on your base or summoned from your party, you can then access a special menu of ways to interact with your Pal. After pressing “4” to bring up the menu wheel while looking at your Pal, you should see plenty of interesting options. For example, one Pal I have on my base allows me to feed it directly, view its details, and add it right to my party.
