Dr. Daniela Castillo, vegan veterinarian at Castillo Animal Vegan Vet in Los Angeles, CA, invites you to swap one word: stop saying “pet” and say “companion”. 🐾💚 “Pet” sounds like an object; “companion” honors their soul, loyalty, and family role. 🌱 Say “my companion eats,” “my companion sleeps,” “the one waiting at home.” Language builds respect. Speak as if their heart matters—because it does! ✨ 🐶🌿
