CATDOLL : What are the things to pay attention to when raising cats and dogs together?

Things to note when raising cats and dogs together:

1. Get familiar with each other’s smell. When a cat and a dog start living together, you can tie the dog up first and keep a certain distance from the cat. Let the dog go after the cat is familiar with the smell.

2. Prepare separate cages for cats and dogs, and separate their living areas. Cats and dogs have a sense of territory. When raising cats and dogs at the same time, it is best to separate their living areas and not place their cages next to each other.

3. Keep their food bowls strictly separate to prevent them from "eating from each other". Cat food and dog food have different nutritional components, so they cannot be mixed. The food bowls should be separated to prevent them from "eating from each other". When feeding snacks to cats or dogs, you should also distinguish which snacks can be eaten by both cats and dogs and which are specifically for cats or dogs.

4. Do not be partial to one party. Some owners will over-pamper or favor one party in front of their cats or dogs, which will make the unfavored party feel neglected and isolated. In addition to being jealous of the other party, they may also attack the other party.

5. Avoid leaving the house alone. When dogs and cats are not familiar with each other, avoid leaving them alone at home. After all, they have not established a friendly relationship, and it is easy for them to engage in aggressive behavior, which will inevitably cause one of them to get hurt.

6. Get closer to the pet you already have. For the pet you already have, the new pet you bring in often threatens its status, and may cause a bad situation. At this time, the owner should get closer to the pet you already have, so that it feels that it is irreplaceable, and then it can generously accept the newcomer.
