Introducing a New Pet to Your Home
Many times throughout the years, I have had an opportunity to introduce a new cat or dog to the house. This can be such an interesting process. My usual steps are to isolate the new pet and make introductions slowly and supervised. Whether the new pet is a cat or dog, they will have to meet all the other household pets. I prefer to do this one by one and then in a group setting. I choose to make this a slow process, sometimes lasting more than a week. I have found that my furry critters often take a few weeks before they are truly accepting of a new pet in the family.
How do you introduce new pets to your house? Do you have tried and true method for making introductions? How about for getting your old pets to accept the news ones?
we try the exact same thing as you. i love cats so much they are my favorite kind of animal. i have 1 cat.
