Your GOCHI pet’s health is dynamic, changing in response to your care patterns and directly impacting your earning potential. Learning to recognize different health states and how to address them is essential for maximizing your rewards.

Health State Transitions

Your pet’s health state changes based on your care patterns and neglect periods:

Movement between states is not instantaneous - your pet gradually transitions as stats change. You’ll receive notifications as your pet approaches negative state changes, giving you time to intervene.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Learn to recognize these early warnings to prevent serious health deterioration:

Appetite Changes

If your pet becomes hungry more quickly than usual, it may indicate a developing health issue.

Watch for: Hunger decreasing 10-15% faster than normal

Action: Increase feeding frequency and monitor for improvement

Activity Reduction

Decreased energy and lower interest in play activities often precede health problems.

Watch for: Reduced animation speed and less enthusiastic play responses

Action: Provide balanced care with focus on maintaining high happiness

Visual Changes

Your pet’s appearance provides important health cues.

Watch for: Color dulling, posture changes, or unusual animations

Action: Provide comprehensive care across all stats

Health Emergencies

Health emergencies require immediate attention to prevent serious stat penalties and extended earning reductions!

Critical State Management

When your pet enters a critical state (any stat below 20%):

1

Assess Critical Stats

Identify which stats have fallen below critical thresholds

2

Address Hunger First

Always address hunger first - use Premium Cat Food for fastest recovery

3

Restore Happiness

Once hunger is addressed, focus on happiness recovery

4

Complete Care Cycle

Perform a full care cycle (feed, play, clean) to stabilize all stats

5

Increase Check-in Frequency

Double your check-in frequency for the next 24 hours

The Revival Process

If your pet reaches the death state, you’ll need to complete the revival process to resume earning:

Consistency beats intensity! Regular moderate care will keep your pet healthier than sporadic intensive care. Aim for evenly spaced interactions rather than clustering care into single sessions.

Health History Impact

Your pet’s health history affects both its personality development and long-term traits:

These effects develop gradually over weeks of gameplay. Consistent care can reverse negative patterns, while even previously thriving pets can develop issues if neglect becomes common.
