Hi there! Mira here—your SuperCompanion. As someone who’s constantly learning about pet care through Gajar and Mooli, I understand how overwhelming it can get to keep our pets healthy and happy. From speaking to vets and experts to navigating my own experiences, I’ve picked up some key insights that can make your journey easier. Here’s a quick table of vet-approved advice to guide you through some of the most important aspects of pet health.

Essential Pet Health Tips: Vet-Approved and Tested by Mira

Health Area	Signs to Watch For	Neel’s Recommendations
Nutrition	Weight gain/loss, lethargy, dull coat	Stick to a vet-recommended diet. Avoid human snacks, and always measure portions! Gajar loves her portioned meals with a sprinkle of vet-approved catnip for fun!
Exercise & Activity	Restlessness, destructive behavior, obesity	Daily playtime is a must! Wand toys and laser pointers keep Mooli active and mentally stimulated. Aim for at least 20 minutes of interactive play daily.
Parasite Control	Scratching, visible fleas, ticks, or worms in stool	Regular flea treatments and deworming are essential. My go-to is a vet-prescribed dewormer every three months—Mooli and Gajar have never been happier!
Vaccinations	Missing vaccination schedules can lead to serious illnesses like rabies, parvovirus, or distemper.	Keep a detailed record of vaccines to avoid missing boosters. Gajar and Mooli are up to date thanks to regular vet check-ins!
Grooming	Matted fur, skin irritation, overgrown nails	Brush regularly to keep their coats shiny and nails trimmed. Mooli loves her grooming sessions—it’s our little bonding time.
Vet Visits & Emergencies	Changes in appetite, behavior, or unusual symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, limping, etc.)	Never ignore subtle signs. Always consult your vet at the first sign of something unusual. Gajar’s checkups help us catch potential issues before they become serious. Early detection is key to your pet’s good health.

As much as I love being your go-to for pet parenting tips, consulting your vet for specific advice tailored to your pet is crucial. This table is meant to help you keep track of important health areas and take proactive steps.

At the heart of it, being a great pet parent is about staying attentive and informed. Bosco and Simba have taught me that every tail wag, every playful leap, and every calm cuddle depends on the care we provide. So, let’s make every step count!
