8 Ways to Help Cats and Dogs Get Along Better

Can dogs and cats live together? Of course, it depends on many factors for a
harmonious coexistence between the two species. To do this, you must
prepare the presentation between the dog and the cat. sprklspace explains
step by step how to make a dog get along well and live. Take note of our tips
and do not forget to consult a professional if your situation is really serious.
These eight things will help your cat and new dog overcome the language
barrier and find love.

1. TAKE PERSONALITY—NOT BREED—INTO ACCOUNT.

People believe that some kinds of cats and dogs can’t live in peace with each other. For Galaxy and
Sandor, keepers should know their pets ore and try to help the get all their need in the perfect area
for example if your dog was aggressive you should know that he isn’t going to do well with a
disturbing cat because that could lead him to hate being in the same place with that cat.

If you have two animals and you feel that they hate each other, you should work on keeping the
separated as much as you can or ask their old owners if they’ve been adopted with other animals or
how was her relation with other ones.

2. TRAIN YOUR DOG.

If you want your dog to get better with a cat in the same house you got to teach hi few tricks and control
hi for example the way he reacts seeing food or any other thing he likes or dislikes and lean not to jump
on anything that might look interesting to him.

Keep his the things he likes away from him and even if he learned to control himself, just keep an eye on
him.
3. GIVE A CAT ITS OWN TERRITORY BEFORE IT MEETS A
DOG.
Cats need a safe space to live in so that they can make their own territory to be safe and that territory is
important for the so they can live without any trouble or fear from any other canine animal.

Cats likes to climb things so their keepers should create a comfortable space for her, so she can have fun
and in the same tie stay away from the floor and the dog in it.

While having dog and cat in the same house you should make sure their away from each other, so the
cat can do her business feeling safe and the dog doesn’t bother her Because that could cause her way
too much health problems.

4. EXERCISE YOUR DOG'S BODY AND MIND.

Dogs should be exercising much more than what they do normally , because that is so Important to get
that energy out and stay cool as much as it is possible , so that makes the cat feel ore safe with him
around.

Pets also need energizing their bodies and be less interested in chasing a cat, because he lost most of its
energy.

As a dog and cat owner said: “Instead of just taking a walk, stop and do a sit five times on every block,
and do direction changes three times on every block, or speed changes two times. It’s about unleashing
their herding instincts and prey drive in an appropriate way doing other activities”.

And if you have no free tie to do these activities with your dog , I suggest hiring a dog walker ,or
enrolling in doggy daycare.

5. LET CATS AND DOGS FOLLOW THEIR NOSES.

In Galaxy's new book, Total Cat Mojo, says that it would be great if the two pets (dog and cat) should be
sharing beds and toys or hear each other voices to get used to their smells and feel familiar during their
first meeting avoiding any fight.

6. PLAN THE FIRST CAT/DOG MEETING CAREFULLY.

Before you try to get the meet each other you have to know if they share any interests and get the to do
it together like food and toys.

While planning for their first meeting you sure make sure they are close to each other but in the same
time not seeing each other and just work on recognizing their smells. Also selling food and some other
things they both like.

Keep feeding the dog and the cat in same place but without seeing each other until they use to each
other smells and be finally ready for the meeting, that you can feel that they are in the same tea; but
without contacting.

7. KEEP THEIR FOOD AND TOYS SEPARATE.

When you get success matching your dog with you cat, you should keep their food in different places,
because you know that the cat in going to eat from the dog’s bowl and that he is so protective about his
food.

To stop those little wars you have to keep feeding the; separated and be sure that their not able to see
each other.

Also you must keep an eye them while playing and especially their toys for things not to get wild. “Dogs
tend to get really into catnip,” Galaxy says. “My dog loves catnip a whole lot more than my cats do.”

8. CONSIDER RAISING A DOG AND CAT TOGETHER (IF

YOU CAN).

As Sandor says, pups are most easy to train and get the; use to something , so that makes it easy for
him to know the cat and have a good impression from her, as well as the pup is normally not into fight
and competition .

Even though stay tuned especially when the dog is about to be a teenager.
