This is general feedback about my experiences as a Dino Pet owner.

It doesn't feel balanced. The cost of a treat exceeds the benefit and joy I receive back. Consequently I find myself putting it to rest more than playing with it. 1 treat a day should be sufficient along with some time (play).

Walking around with the pet should actually bring happiness to the pet. This advertises having a pet and makes other want it. Instead, I only bring out and get it happy enough if I am playing Bump-A-Grump or perhaps doing a bunch of farming.

The pet needs other types of play, for examples: emotes I can cause it to do, playground interactions in Carnival, and perhaps some outfits I can put on it.

It is a pain to lose the inventory when it isn't happy. It makes sense, but that means I can't have it carry the treats and sticks it needs to be happy. Thus, the pet actually reduces my inventory space as I can't rely on it being available as needed. Currently, I would rather do two trips than try and utilize pet inventory.

I don't like the facial expressions. The banner for pets on Mavis Market shows a dino with a cute smile and a happy feeling. Most of the dino pets seem angry or exhausted or worse. Perhaps if the current default face is when they are unhappy, but if their face could change for when they are happy.

Would love to hear other's experiences with having a pet. Not having a Dino Pet private channel on the Discord seems odd and like a missed opportunity for Pixels to eavesdrop and interact with it's rare asset holders like it can with the Land Channel.
