HOW TO INTRODUCE YOUR NEW KITTEN TO YOUR DOG

During this phase، it's very important to observe their body language for signs of stress or aggression.3 Does your dog have a prey drive? Is he very focused on your kitten or barking and whining? You'll need to continue to keep them separate if he displays these behaviors.

Ideally، your dog will watch your cat but not fixate on her. You want him to be able to look away from your cat and respond to you.

As for your cat، she should appear relaxed. If she's hissing، puffing her fur، growling، or slinking to the ground، she's feeling scared and not confident. Once both seem pretty

 chill with each other and can look away sometimes، they may be ready to meet.

Start Slowly with Supervised Visits

Now it's time for supervised visits with both pets in the same room. These introductions need to be done slowly، and your dog should always be on a leash. Your kitten should have places to hide or climb to that are out of your dog's way. These visits might take a few weeks or more before your pets are comfortable with each other.

Take your time. Start on opposite sides of a room، then slowly let them be closer. Some people opt to start the introductions with their dog in a crate before moving on to a leash.
