Nice entry, it fit the theme really well!
I played without the stat toggle and I thought the ui did a pretty good job explaining what the pet needed. Is there a stage past adult? Mine started getting sick and I ran out of money and then it died while I was working, Crunkle will be pissed..

My suggestion would be to allow different progression paths based on level of care. Maybe Crunkle wants a really creepy pet, but if you do too well at taking care of it, it ends up being too cute, so you have to balance a bit to make sure it comes out scary looking.
Good work!
