It can also be obtained as a random drop from slain monsters.

Once given to any animal (besides pigs), this item will make that animal produce double the output of its normal product. Pigs cannot receive this buff.

It can also be thrown into a Fish Pond, having the same effect as giving it to an animal. The basket holding the fish pond's produce will turn gold, and an icon of the cracker will appear in the fish pond's menu when brought up. Note that if the Fish Pond is emptied with the “empty pond” option, the basket will reset to normal and the Golden Animal Cracker will permanently disappear. (Emptying the fish pond without clicking that option will not make the Golden Animal Cracker disappear, however it will not be possible to put a different fish species in the pond).
