Introducing dogs and cats

- Although dogs and cats are often portrayed as enemies, if introduced carefully, they can actually get on extremely well. If either pet or both have lived with the other in a previous home, then the introduction process is likely to be easier. However it is still a good idea to take things slowly by following the advice in this leaflet - a gentle introduction is far safer than a rushed one, and will hopefully result in both pets becoming good friends.

THIS is the kind of video that's actually helpful, concise, straight to the point and with clear instructions. Since TH-cam hid the dislike button it's hard to find tutorials that are this good. Thanks a lot!
Well, finally someone who knows every important aspect. Especially the walk of the dog before meeting the cat. Nothing worse than a dog with pent-up energy and being excited.
But I also have more tips for the cat-part. If the dog is under good control, the cat should get treats & praise & cuddles too if it behaves calmly, also the cat should be played with the dog being in sight.
A good training would be also giving both their meal, while they still can see each other from far away and moving the bowls closer every time (in the end with f.e. 2m gap)....of course only if both are not food aggressive. (but that should be trained anyway)
S C we just adopted a dog that may have a high prey drive and hope to intro her to our cat soon. Did these tips help? How did things go for you?
Thank you for this. My brother passed a few days ago and I've inherited his kitty. The poor kitty is traumatized as is but I have 4 dogs to meet the kitty. So far I've done it right, separate rooms, gates, dogs crated overnight with kitty free to roam... Newest dog is my biggest concern as he is a pittie/cane corso rescue puppy and VERY bouncy. Advice to tire him out first is very helpful. Again, thank you for this video
The silence in this video with her voice is so soothing
I've always had cats and introduced a puppy. Tonight I pick up two kittens and I admit to being a bit worried about my 2 year old pug cross' reaction. I lost my 18 year old cat a couple of months ago, so he is used to cats but not kittens. The video was very helpful x
You look like me 40 years ago, so it's nostalgic for me to watch you. Nice to meet you. Today I am introducing my 3 month old tortie kitten to our 10 year old ragdoll and five year old minpin mix. Quite a challenge! I will be watching all of your videos for a refresher course and new info--thank you!
she kinda reminds me of Emma Watson
lilac niall nice icon and username
I was just scrolling down to comment the same thing 😂 I think it's her voice and eyebrows
British?
Same! She is beautiful
reminds me of Kristin Wigg :P
What if you're introducing a puppy to two adult cats?
Really helpful advice.. Thanks👍
I'm getting a kitten in a month and I'm kinda nervous because I have a 6 year of shih tzu. She always wines and barks at any new animal I bring into the house.
Thanks for the video. We have two cats who have been with us for about 3 years as the only pet in the house and will be introducing a dog soon, who seems somewhat excitable and energetic so we know it may be a process to get them acclimated with each other. This will help a lot.
Did it help with your cats? We are also in a very similar situation as I have a clear bond with my cats but I don't want to get a dog that will ruin that. We share these two cats between two houses as they do not get on. so I am very worried about bringing a 15 month labrador cross into my home. I'm not so keen on a stair gate so is there any other way to get around this? and do you have any advice for someone in my situation? Thanks.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I have a very hyper and excitable Labrador and I would love to own a cat. When my dog would see strays *running* he would often pull until my arms fell out. But he has been around a particular cat who does not like dogs his size. She will hiss, try to bat at him, and things like that. But all my dog wanted to do was meet and greet! I would actually have them in contact with eachother and actually got them both very calm. At one point, the cat was very relaxed to where she closed her eyes. My dig was calm while he was laying down, smelling and chewing a stick. I would also like to mention that that cat has never interacted with large dogs and is an outdoor cat. PS, I do not own the cat and is at a different location.
so i'm doing everything right. cool to know
That dog and cat are both gorgeous,
I really wouldve wished i saw this earlier. My dog did amazing when he met our new kitten but the kitten panicked or didnt like my dog and she just attacked him. This is mu first day with this cat and i hope that they become best buddies they are both so cute. Thank you for this video.
Did they become friends?
aahhhh your cat is ADORABLE
Thanks. This is helpful, just got a kitten and already have a 3 year old staffie cross. He doesn't get on well with other dogs who bark at him. As soon as he saw the kitten he wanted to investigate fairly calmly but the kitten hissed and growled and my dog went on a crazy barking spree and is now crying and super hyper. They are in separate rooms now and probably will be for at least a week. I will try again with slow introduction in a few days after long dog walk to see how they get on. Fingers crossed.
This video has really helped put my mind at rest.
Tomorrow we are getting a Maltese puppy. We have a 7 year old cat, who has never lived with dogs before.
I understand that it is tough, but doable. I will follow all of this, I will keep them separate, routinely do scent swapping and then eventually do supervised interactions. I know they will get on in time! I don't expect it to be instant. Thanks so much for this 🥰
How did it go?
@@Fisva They get on okay. It's still early days though and I am aware that it can take a good few months before they are both relaxed properly around eachother. For now the cat tolerates the puppy, Alby. He will swipe Alby if he gets too keen, but he's very good. He never uses his claws when he swipes him. The puppy does get the message to which is good and will back off.
We still keep them apart overnight. We are working on them sleeping in the same room in time but we are not rushing nor forcing anything. I will do another update in a couple of months or so
that cat is really pretty and i hope this works for me i have a very scared cat
How it go?
@@minormendez9084 Lol i commented this two years ago and... i never got a dog 😂
thank you..
Excellent
very helpful
Wow! Thank you this was so helpful!!! All the other videos were not as good! TYSM!!!
awesome video!
I just want ask bc my cat is an independent cat he love me and I felt like me might be jealous if I get a dog idk if my cat will like it but I will get a puppy so it will be bit easier
this sounds like asmr
Quigrook her voice is so nice
If it wasn’t 1 cat only. If it is 7 cats that I need to introduce the dog to.. should I do this whole process with the cats one by one?
So I've done some of these but not all. We have a a 14 week puppy who we got three weeks ago and a 13 year old cat. My can has exclusive roam of the upstairs and can choose to go anywhere while the puppy is contained to the main floor. The cat will come down with the dog periodically (he is becoming more confident) but my puppy invariably chases him. Will the training on the lead still work even if the puppy is in the habit of chasing? I don't need them to be friends, I just need them to get to a point where they can coexist peacefully.
I am thinking of keeping them separated for the next week, then introducing them again as if it's the first time, but doing it properly. Any thoughts? Would really appreciate any advice.
just got a cat. she warmed up to me and the room shes staying in for the next few days in just hours.
shes met my dog twice. my dog did verg, very well. my cat doesnt like her though, haha. just hissing.
will this hissing die down? i dont expect them to get along right away, but i want to get to a point where they can be in the same room together. it's been hard taking care of both of them at the moment by myself.
What if your getting them around the same time and there both around the same weeks old
Good video
I’ve got a 10 month old puppy , we have had her since she was 6 months , the puppy will bark at the cat if she sees the cat, but my cat runs away , the cat has only been in the house if I get her in but she never comes in by herself, we have introduce them both together but the cat will hiss & the puppy will bark , I do really need to get the cat in now the weather is changing , any suggestions would be much appreciated
Many thanks

I adopted a feral kitten that I took to get spayed. She’s been healing in a separate room and now she’s completely healed. One of my dogs knows she’s in that room and she kneels down to sniff under the door. I did steps one, two, and three, and tomorrow I am going to introduce them. I feel my dog is going to have a hard time. Any more advice will help
I might get a dog, but im scared my cat will be evil and hate the dog with all his heart. i havent picked a dog yet and i hope that they can be friends if i do get a dog, great video.
also how am i supposed to give the dog a scent of my cat if its coming from a shelter,
Does this video help you guys cause my dog is really playful and idk how I feel about my cat being around it so I was gonna keep it only in my room
I am trying to get a stray kitten off the streets but the only thing is my high energy pitbull Roxy. Do i do the same steps as this?
I have two dogs. One is an 11 year old toy poodle, he's extremely calm but loves to give kisses and my other one is a 2 year old deer head Chihuahua, she's extremely playful but very affectionate.
Neither one have shown extreme aggression to cats but my toy poodle prefers to leave cats alone but I'm a little worried about my chihuahua.
Can someone help?
leave them alone for a while while watching (with a nanny cam or something) to see if they get along. Stay in the next room in case of emergency. Leave them together for a couple of minutes. If they're together long enough (with or without you there) they'll get used to each other. The tips in the video will work, too, since she the expert, not me
I would get advice from animal trainers or a vet.
Tried with pit ya not gonna work still wants to eat it
I hope this works. I cant get a gate but I have 4 kittens. And am planning on getting a dog.. so I'm rather scared about this.
howd it go
Will this method work with dogs that have very high prey drives? Because we've had a family cat for more than 6 years and just recently got a Korean Jindo, a breed known for their hunting behavior. I don't want to lose either of them, and hope this can work in a long run...
Nunshle Speke Uvmee has everything been ok lately? I'm adopting a lab Saturday and I have 3 cats already.
How did it go with your cats and the lab?
It all depends your dogs energy.. I have an American staffy and a cat for 6yrs and he did very well meeting my dog. My dog was well over a year old since I adopted him. My cat never hissed at him.. but something about puppies other high energy dogs my cat hates. He's a very chill cat so.. high pretty drive animals can possibly get along but if it's in their nature I'm sure it'll be either the cat or other animals might be target
Nope
It won't tried this for a few days no improvement yet... Dog almost killed my cat. If it's a puppy I will work but not for an adult high prey drive such as pitbulls , GSD , terriers...
In my case, I was kinda forced to adopt a cat and a dog in 2 days. well Kitty came along and adopted us to be honest. Today we took adopted a dog with like 4 months of age who was dumped by bad people near we live. The dog is 3x the size of the cat, but still very shy. While the dog was super friendly Kitty was not amused went straight up to the dog to scare him away. Could this be some sort of territorial thing or is she just jealous? It really sounded like, this is my family now, hit the road Mr Dog. How can I fix that?
I want a cat because I get sad every so often, and my dog (who I love SO much and she adores me as well) doesn't like coming upstairs to my room because she thinks she's getting a bath. (which she hates) I want a cat to cuddle with when I'm sad and to just have a companion in my room when I don't want people interaction (I'm an introvert) But my mom doesn't like cats, and I don't think they believe that our dog could get alone with a cat or kitten. I really want to ask them but I'm scared to. Does anyone have any advice?
AmazingFaithLPS I say just go ahead and ask. Tell your parents how you feel. Trust me, I understand what you mean, I have the same problem. But I talked to my parents and their considering getting a cat. I hope this helps! Good luck! :)
My cat is terrified of me whenever he sees me crying. He avoids me entirely.
AmazingFaithLPS Hey I would try and reintroduce the upstairs to your dog as a good thing. Coax her upstairs with goodies that she loves, and gently guide with the leash. She will resist, so hold firm the leash. Don't pull, just hold firm. When she takes a step towards you, reward her with a treat and praise. keep going until you reach your room, and then lavish her with goodies and praise. Make it a fun place to be. Invite her on the bed, she'll probably love being up there with you. And keep the bathroom door closed. If you want a cat, then you should get one, but I think having your dog up there with you will be more rewarding. I hope it works out!
I was in a similar place as you, but I'm getting a cat tonight. I think what you have to be aware of is cats do what they want to and it's not going to happen like you think.
One day you will come home and the cat will be torn apart. Happens all the time. Especially with forties and pit bulls
I dont understand the scent side though, my dogs scent is all over my house, hes laying literally everywhere, surely the cat smells him everywhere without my help? God, I wish divorce wasnt so expensive, wifes bought a kitten home, we have a large ridge back, she say oh itle be fine but im a nervous wreck
Everything okay man? Need to talk?
Hello I have a dog that I am fostering that we really want to adopt but he is not okay with cats and has tried to bite my cats, I have got to the point where we can be in the same room but if my cats come to him (they are overly friendly) the dog will bite and I am scared he will attach and hurt or kill them. I heard you say seek professional help but I am not sure who to go to for this and we really want to make this work life long for the sake of the dog were fostering and the safety of my cats. My biggest fear at this point is that my over friendly cat will walk up to the dog and try to great him/rub againsthim and get hurt. I have him on a leach but I cant stop my cats from going near him they have no fear.
Hi I know it's years later but I wondered how this all turned out for you- I hope we'll! If your still reading this I would love an update cheers!
Im Introducing My Pet Rock To My Pet Stick. Do I Do The Same?
I've only introduced my pet rock to another pet rock, but I have also worked with pet sticks and I would suggest the same thing the video does. Pet sticks can be very difficult to calm down so keep a little space between the two.
What kind of dog is that? Looks like mine almost!
Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Staffy).
Hi
I just got a rescue cat. Super nice and friendly very happy. But my dog is being a little territorial. How do you know when he's past the instincts and recognizes the cat as family?
I got my cat (ive made videos) from bluecross ♡
Wow wow wow wow, someone made a bulldog be friend of her prey 😂 that's some hard work
TH-cam is full of friendly cat - bulldog vids. Also while her technique is really safe and all often it doesn't take that long to introduce pets to each other.
@@AnimalEmancipation All you need is an intelligent gamedog, most of them are crazy and only think about one thing: fighting. But some APBT dogs are intelligent as hell and would learn that home is something different to street and that the animals inside home are untouchable.
My cat Herts my dog. Not the usually wear
My dog @cat got along fine untill recently ...the dog has started to chase the cat and attack him to the point of ripping chunks of fur out ..im at my wits end .don't know what to do for the best .its so stressful trying to keep them apart , i don' t want to rehome either but my fear is the dog will really harm the cat , its like an accident waiting to happen Help !!!!
Exercise the dog more. I run my dog while im on my bike... not to fasr but just enough for her. Also consider buying a dog crate for when you are not home.
Better rehome than being sorry. Crating a dog for hours is definitely worse than rehoming, it's smaller than a shelter kennel!!
It's Easter to introduce a cat to a dog then a cat to a cat
but... why is she mad?
I already made a mistake by letting them meet without any introduction. we’ll I learned my lesson! And so did my dog with scratch marks.
Same thing happened to us! We never fully researched the steps on how to actually introduce a cat to a aggressive dog initially. Epic fail.
I don't have a gate
I have a cat he fight with my dog!! What can I do? White the cat? I don't like cats
Short snake 17
Unrelated, yes but she is just a lovely princess. Beauty and brains. 💝💝💝
Great video. You sound like Nicole Kidman
Pets are Co2 bomber.
Its not that big a deal folks. Cats a dogs are not natural enemies. My grandmother has always had cats a dogs on her farm. Non of this silly introduction. They just naturally got along.
matrox It must be a big deal since there are countless articles, classes, videos, and even professions dedicated to harmonious cat/dog households.
Probably because they were on a farm with a lot of space. But its different in an appartement or small house where the cat will try to make is territory and feel in danger if another animal enters. Gotta be carefull.
