A digital pet is like a pretend pet that you can take care of on a computer, tablet or phone. Just like a real pet, it needs food, water and love to stay healthy and happy. You can play games with it, teach it new tricks and even take it on adventures. But unlike a real pet, you don't have to clean up any messes and it won't get lonely if you forget about it for a little while. It's important to remember that even though it's not a real pet, it still needs attention and care to thrive.
