Having a cat and a dog in the same house is quite possible.
The main thing is to know how to do it.
How long does it take for animals to get used to each other
It will take a lot of time for the animals to get used to each other's presence.
This may take several months. For faster adaptation, separate the habitats of the dog and cat.
Each of them should always have their own place where they will feel completely safe.
Provide each animal with its own bowl and sleeping place.
How to properly introduce a cat to a dog
On neutral territory, place the cat in a carrier, box, or other shelter where she feels calm.
Put your dog on a leash and, if necessary, a muzzle. While talking affectionately to the dog, go into the room with the cat.
Let your dog sniff the cat carrier, rewarding calm behavior with a treat.
Monitor the animals' interactions until you are sure everything is okay.
If the owner builds the correct interaction between pets, the dog and cat will live perfectly in the same house.
Previously, we talked about why dogs are sometimes afraid of bathing.
