HOW TO INTRODUCE YOUR NEW KITTEN TO YOUR DOG
After they're calmly eating "near" each other، swap their scents by leaving a towel with your kitten's scent in your dog's room and vice versa. Every now and then، let your kitten roam around the house while your dog is confined to a room. This helps them get used to each other's scents before they meet.
Prepare for a Good First Impression
To make sure first impressions go well، review basic obedience commands with your dog before you introduce them. Make sure your dog still responds well to commands like sit، stay، come، and leave it.2 You'll also want to make sure both are feeling calm whenever they meet face-to-face. Play with both pets separately to expend a little of
that extra energy before they meet.
Keep Them Separate for Their First Face-to-Face
Their first meeting should be face-to-face but not in the same room. You'll want to use a screen door or gate to separate them. Make sure your kitten can't squeeze through the door or climb over it. Your dog and kitten need to be able to smell، hear، and see each other without touching each other. Just like you did with the closed door، start by feeding them from a distance and slowly move them closer to each other over time.
