you can only get premium gato or dragon eggs.
goto the hatchery and select the egg
bottom right corner i think it says transform, click that
choose a pet from the selection
buy it
hatch it

Note - cost gems

unique skills.
its very costly trying to get them legendary, unless youre lucky, but rarity doesnt really matter.
Some of the pets skills are pretty lame and will be based off your hero dmg or other stats.
Id reccommend getting the headless horseman (creeper pet) or autumeow (gato pet), these 2 pets have a very nice skill for dps heroes.
I have all the premium pets and so far all the others have had a pretty lame ability, or just doesnt compare to headless horseman and autumeow's abilites.

Meh, Drenching water is freaking amazing to keep enemies stunlocked due to the weteffect, unlimited range and 7 secs cd.. also the monthly pet abilities are amazing to.
Myself simply took Katkarot for the skin (looking awesome), Gatdouken sucks ♥♥♥♥ kinda so replaced it instantly with drenching wave.

When looking for an pet ability, basically buffs/utility >>>> any damage-focussed ability

and yeah.. only difference between premium and normal is the chance on a skin-specific ability (watch the chance.. you might need to ability reroll to actuallly get it, not garanteed to get it at the first evolution) and the fact that they tend to look nice :P
