Don't leave your pets alone unless you are sure they get along well with each other.

This can be dangerous as they can physically harm each other.

Animals may bite, scratch, or otherwise injure each other.

It can also leave a psychological mark on the animal.

How to introduce a dog to a cat

Before introducing your dog to your cat, make sure they are at the same level.

Be careful and vigilant. For example, use a leash, muzzle or pet carrier. This will help keep the animals safe.
