A dog and cat can live in harmony when managed correctly. A patient, gradual introduction is the key to success.

Gradual Introduction

First swap scents (exchange blankets), then meet through a door, then a controlled face-to-face introduction. Don't rush.

Safe Space for Everyone

Provide areas where the cat can escape up high, out of the dog's reach. Separate food and litter areas are essential.

Positive Reinforcement

Reward calm interactions. Teach the dog not to chase the cat; reward it for staying calm.
