How to get rid of your pet
In case you want a new pet, you first have to get rid of your old one. This isn't trivial, because your pet is clingy and you can't shoo it away. Instead you have to give it to Jarrel the Tamer, whom you can find just outside the main gate of Ascalon City (or close to Master Ranger Nente in Pre-Searing).
