So I just loaded a save and checked out what the exp ratios are. The characters are level 2.

Talking to the dog, Emma, gave me 2500 exp per character.
Convincing Birdie (the dog in the cage) gave me 1400 exp.
Total 3900 exp.

FYI it takes 6000 exp to go from level 2 to level 3. So that's almost 65% of that level from pet pal. It's around 32% of the exp needed to go from 3-4 (you need 12,000).

Also, you get the key and a unique crossbow, though if you're wits or thievery is high enough, you could get past the door without Pet Pal. With wits you'd need to know before hand where the key is, however, as it's sort of in an out of the way spot.

Alternatively, you could kill the dogs (not sure on total exp, but at level 2, in an earlier build, I remember them two shotting my level 2 team members)... or do the pet pal quest, and kill the dogs, and get exp from it all. They're not mutually exclusive.

I don't know if you get any exp from getting past them with the rubber ball.

Edit: Maths.
