A quick check-in
A free, one-tap hello. Some days that's all there's time for, and that's fine.
Bonding · The Companion
The bond grows through the care you give.
Choose one Petling to look after. Every day you look in counts, and so does real care for your real pet. Attention is rewarded and never demanded.
What counts
Any one of these, once a day.
Your Companion is your Familiar by default, and you can choose any Petling you own. A day counts as soon as you do one thing together.
A treat or a drill
Share a treat, or claim a training drill with your Companion.
Play together
Any Petlings mode played with your Companion counts for the day.
A real walk
A walk of 2 km or more on your catch trail counts as real care.
A real vet or grooming record
An approved vet or grooming record for your pet counts too.
A Petso booking or Care Plan visit
A completed Petso booking, or an approved Care Plan visit.
Records you type in yourself don't count. Only approved records, completed bookings and approved visits do. Petlings never reads medical records on its own.
05 Bond & care
The bond grows through the care you give.
Choose one Petling as your Companion. Every day you look in counts. So does real care for your real pet: an approved vet or grooming record, a completed Petso booking, an approved Care Plan visit or a walk of 2 km or more.
Each counted day extends a streak and writes a line into the creature's story, which travels with it for good. Miss a day and only the streak resets; nothing ever decays. Petlings never reads medical records on its own; only approved records count.

A story that travels
Nothing ever decays.
- Streaks. Every counted day extends your streak. Miss a day and only the streak resets.
- Provenance. Each counted day writes a line into the creature itself: the days it was looked after and the real care it was part of.
- It goes where the creature goes. If a Petling is later gifted, adopted or sold, its story goes with it.
- Gentle reminders, if you want them. An evening reminder is off by default, sent at most once a day, and never on a day you already looked in.
There is no $PET in the Companion. What a Petling gains is its own story.
- Day 41 · Walk of 3.1 km
- Day 42 · Grooming record approved
- Day 43 · Quick check-in
Example story.

Questions
Do I have to play every day?
No. Miss a day and only the streak resets. Nothing else is lost and nothing decays.
Does Petlings read my pet's medical records?
No. Only approved records, completed Petso bookings and approved Care Plan visits count. Records you type in yourself don't.
Does the Companion pay $PET?
No. There is no $PET in the Companion. A Petling gains its own story: its streaks and the care it was part of.
Can I change my Companion?
Yes, you can choose any Petling you own. Switching starts a new streak, but every creature keeps the story it has already written.
