Reigning Cats and Dogs:
How to Make Your Twosome into Fast Friends
Since the dawn of time it’s been one of the most tried and true antidotes all the world over . . . “cats and dogs just can’t get along” . . .
This can be a heartbreaking statement to pet lovers who enjoy both cats and dogs. We love sharing our nest with these furry sweeties and it’s difficult when we think that we have to choose between man’s best friend . . . and woman’s best bestie.
If you are one of those pet lovers suffering in silence turn that frown upside down. With a little hard work and dedication you can learn how to reign over both your cats and dogs and teach them to become fast friends along the way . . . here’s how.
Start Out on the Old Pets “Side”
While it seems unfair at first, anytime you get a new pet, cat or dog, your “old” pet will see this new someone as an intruder . . . and it’s important to the bonding of these two pets that you treat it as an intruder too for the time being. Keep your new pet in a bathroom or other out-of-the-way space for a while. Most importantly, never give your pet’s favorite space to the new pet!
Introduce Them a Little at a Time
Introducing your pets is important but it should be done little by little. Expecting the two to automatically become Milo and Otis is just not feasible. They will need time to get used to each other . . . make sure you give them all the time they need.
Make Playtime Fun and Comfortable for Everyone
When you get your pets together for playtime, it’s important to keep the grounds neutral. Set up the space ahead of time complete with some of each pet’s favorite toys. If things get out of hand or one pet begins to show signs of being uncomfortable, separate them immediately. Never scold either pet in the beginning for mistakes and or temperamental problems. Simply put each pet into separate quarters and try again later.
When it comes to cats and dogs . . . the truth is that they can be friends. It just takes some time. Some older pets may require longer adjusting periods and others of the younger variety may get along from the start. The key is in simply knowing that each pet is different and with a little patience . . . someday you’ll see your hard work pay off.
Hang in there!
