Which kind of pet suits Raikode

Start with the species, not the breed. Raikode's moderate Deccan climate means comfortable temperatures for most of the year make routine care straightforward, which shapes how practical a dog's exercise routine is here. Cats and small birds are less weather-dependent and often the easier first pet. Maintain a regular grooming routine suited to the breed's coat.

The first week

Settling in takes a few days. Reduced appetite and extra sleeping are normal. Keep the diet unchanged at first, keep introductions calm and gradual, and follow the vaccination schedule supplied with the pet. We remain available through the settling-in period.

Costs beyond the purchase

The purchase price is the smaller part of the commitment. Budget for vaccination boosters, routine vet visits, food, grooming and occasional treatment. Grooming frequency in particular is driven by local conditions — in Raikode's moderate Deccan climate, comfortable temperatures for most of the year make routine care straightforward.

Feeding and daily routine

Set meal times and stick to them; free-feeding makes it hard to notice when a pet goes off its food. Change diet slowly and only after the pet has settled.

Keep vaccinations, deworming and annual vet checks on schedule year-round.
