Jukkal's mild tropical plateau climate means the plateau climate is relatively moderate, which suits a wide range of breeds, 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.

Preparing the home in Jukkal
