What your family receives

The pet arrives with its vaccination record and health documentation, and a 7-day health guarantee runs from delivery. Whoever opens the door gets a walkthrough of feeding, vaccinations and the first few days, and we stay reachable afterwards — useful when the person who paid is several time zones away. Families across the western region use this to mark birthdays, exam results and homecomings.

Which kind of pet suits Olpad

Choosing between a dog, a cat and a bird matters more than choosing a breed. In Olpad, where summers are long and intense, so heat management is the single biggest priority, a dog commits you to outdoor time in local conditions, a cat is largely indoors and self-directed, and birds need a steady, draught-free spot.
