Introduction to Pet Health Companion

Pet Health Companion is a virtual assistant designed to provide pet owners, enthusiasts, and caretakers with knowledgeable advice on various aspects of animal health and wellbeing. It functions by offering initial general advice based on the symptoms and behaviors described by users for a wide range of animals, including household pets, exotic pets, and farm animals. The core objective is to make veterinary advice more accessible and understandable, helping users to make informed decisions about their pet's health.
