If you have a dog and want to add a cat to the family or vice versa, consider how you'll introduce them to each other. If you let a dog and cat — unknown to each other — meet off-leash in a room, you're mostly leading them to failure. It's better to take your time and plan.
A dog who tends to chase anything is less likely to get along with a fearful/shy cat — the same with a cat that tends to pounce and run. A cat who doesn't usually run due to fear or playing can be the best match for such dogs.
If your dog is rambunctious, you must refrain from adopting younger or older cats as they can get hurt easily. Choose a playful, confident, and independent adult cat instead. If you have a rambunctious cat, a playful but gentle dog is a good choice, too.
If you have concerns about your pet's health and/or behavior, make an appointment with your animal hospital Tampa, FL.
