How to equip multiple pets but not equip the same pet multiple times?

I have a pet system where a player can have multiple of the same pet in their inventory. How do I make it to where they cannot equip the same exact pet they just equipped?

I have 2 folders inside the player. One for pets and one for equipped. My thinking is giving each pet a player gets in their inventory an Id using:

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local IdResult = HttpService:GenerateGUID(true)

pet:SetAttribute("petId", IdResult)

The problem I am having is making this Id consistent with the same pet and everywhere it goes.

The ViewportFrame gets a pet model that is cloned out of ReplicatedStorage. So is there a simple way I can make my pet’s Id stay consistent?

you could just detect if the pet that the user wants to equip has the same name thats in the equipped folder.

example

if not petname == player.EquippedPets:FindFirstChild(petname) then -- if there is not a pet in the equipped folder that has the same name as the pet that wants to be equipped then continue
-- equip code here
end
