Description

As user, I want to avoid pet's registration when birthdate is empty so that I can be sure every pet has a valid birthdate

Acceptance Criteria

  • I can see a message in English saying "We should provide a valid birthdate" when birthdate data is empty
  • I can see a message in Spanish saying "Debemos proporcionar una fecha de nacimiento en el pasado" when birthdate data is empty
  • I can see test updated / added to cover this functionality
  • All tests passing

Research direction
Inspect PetBinder and PetController to understand the current pet registration flow, then add validation to reject empty birthdate, add localized error messages in English and Spanish, and update tests accordingly.
