1. Abstract

Traditional pet care frameworks focus on individual health metrics (vaccinations, nutrition, injury prevention). However, this reductionist model fails to account for the complex socio-ecological feedback loops linking domestic pet welfare to wild animal welfare, public health, and environmental ethics. This paper proposes a Multi-Species Systems Theory (MSST) of pet care. We argue that optimal animal welfare cannot be achieved in isolation but requires managing three intersecting domains: (1) Physiological Integrity (disease, nutrition, pain), (2) Behavioral Fulfillment (species-typical actions, choice, agency), and (3) Relational Harm (predation on wildlife, zoonotic spillover, carbon pawprint). Using companion cats and dogs as model species, we demonstrate how current “good care” practices (e.g., outdoor access, raw meat diets) create welfare trade-offs across species boundaries. We conclude by offering a novel welfare metric: the Interspecies Welfare Index (IWI), which quantifies net well-being across a household’s ecological footprint.
