Yes you can! The guardian should only take some precautions during the adaptation phase of the animals. Pets tend to be territorial. Or, still, be afraid of the new presence or even jealous. But it is possible to overcome these obstacles and make cats and dogs live together.

Having a cat is a lot of fun. The same thing applies to adopting a dog. So why not have both? After all, this is possible and it's not a seven-headed bug. Adaptation can be easier than it looks. Below, see how to do it!

Check out, now, some very interesting and really effective tips on how to promote interaction and coexistence between dogs and cats. With her, the adaptation phase becomes easier, safer and will soon allow for a home beyond happy!

Our first tip for getting cats and dogs to live together is to approach them little by little. Never arrive with a new pet, regardless of whether it is a dog or a dog, and place it in the same environment as the one who already lives there.

It is necessary to respect the pet that already lives in this space. Especially if he's a cat, which is more territorial. On the other hand, dogs are effusive. Thus, they can demonstrate euphoria or even disgust and aggressive barking.

So no getting home and already putting the new pet in the middle of the room. It is necessary to be patient and get the pets used to each other. Also, demonstrate to the cat or dog that already lived there that the space still belongs to them. However, it is now shared.

The smells of pets are striking for them, although we often do not feel them. It is common for a pet that is in a room to feel the presence of another, that it has not even seen, by smell. And you can use that to your advantage.

For example, when bringing the new pet home, leave it in a separate room from the one that already lives there. So let him smell the dog or cat that lives in the house. Then, transfer it from room to room and allow the former resident to smell the newcomer.

It is from the smells that pets begin to get used to the presence of others. Therefore, use them so that they are already familiarized. This makes the fitting process much easier!

Still, it's ideal that each pet has its own special corner. This refers to the litter box and hygienic diaper, but also to food, water and walking. Separate the objects in different places.

With that, each one of them understands that there is space there. Furthermore, there is no danger of misunderstandings over the use of these objects or belongings.

Especially in the early days and in the adaptation phase, don't leave the house and leave the pets in the same room. Or even with free access to each other. Cats and dogs can live together, but they first need to get used to each other.

So when you leave, separate them. Over time, when they get used to it (which takes a few weeks or days), you can have and give them more freedom. That is, leaving them together when you are away. And that's great for them to have company, as long as they've gotten used to it.

Another important tip to help cats and dogs live together is to adopt a second pet when you have time. So, think about your vacations, days off or even your home office period.

Their presence during the adaptation phase is ideal. After all, you will be able to scold unwanted acts (without scandal or scaring the pet). Also, help them better understand each other's presence.

Also, always remember to give equal attention to both pets. There is a tendency for the new pet to gain more from her at first. However, this is not healthy. That way, for cats and dogs to live in harmony, remember to dedicate yourself to both.

The first personal contacts must be supervised. Euphoria, fear or disgust may appear and you must be there to control the situation. The reprimand for unwanted or violent acts should be firm, but without shouting or violence.

Today there are several pheromone diffusers that help calm pets. Cats and dogs can live together and take advantage of these smells that only they can smell. 

Also, before you even adopt the second pet, consider their age. Adult dogs get along well with kittens. The opposite is also true. However, elderly dogs and cats do better with pets in the same conditions. 

Therefore, consider the age of the dog or cat you already own before introducing a new pet to the home.

Finally, remember to help the cat in this good coexistence by gatifying the environment. This does not mean that he will only be the cat, but that he will find a place for him there. For this, place niches in high places, for example.
