Which kind of pet suits Olpad

Dogs, cats and exotic birds all do well in Olpad, but they ask for different things. A dog needs daily outdoor time, which is easier to plan around Olpad's hot semi-desert conditions if walks are kept to the cooler ends of the day. Cats suit households that are out for long stretches. Birds need stable temperatures and no draughts. A light summer trim (for double-coated breeds, never shave to the skin) helps comfort.
