The basic needs of a pet typically include proper nutrition, regular exercise, veterinary care, grooming, socialization, and mental stimulation. Ensure your pet has a balanced diet, plenty of water, and a safe environment to thrive.

Generally, pets should visit the veterinarian at least once a year for a check-up. Puppies and kittens may require more frequent visits for vaccinations and growth monitoring. Older pets should be monitored more closely, ideally every 6 months

Signs of illness in pets can vary, but common indicators include lethargy, changes in appetite or drinking habits, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, or any unusual behavior. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's best to consult your veterinarian promptly.
