You have a column called date of birth, which always needs to be escaped using backticks:
MySQL :: MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual :: 11.2 Schema Object Names[^]

SQL

INSERT into tblpet (name, breed, price, color, age, `date of birth`, gender_id, cat_id, picture, instock) values (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)

A better option would be to rename your column so that it doesn't contain spaces - for example, date_of_birth.
