Shout out to our friends at dog friendly for making our foster, Murphy, feel so loved! This guy is a perfect (murphect?) coffee date…but would appreciate a corner of your scone. He’s 3.5 years young, great with dogs, cats, and kids, loves long walks and couch cuddles. If there’s a Newfie size space in your heart and home, inquire within!

Let’s Talk About Safety

When introducing a cat and dog, it’s essential to ensure that everyone stays safe—including the caretaker.

When bringing home a new pet, set up a separate, secure space for them away from the resident pet(s). This area should be cozy, enriching, and comfortable. Spend quality time with the new pet in their designated space so they begin to associate it with safety and positive interactions. When it's time for the new pet to explore the home, ensure the resident pet is elsewhere—on a walk, in their catio, at doggie daycare, or napping behind a closed door.

As the new pet becomes more comfortable, you can begin visual introductions. Set up a physical barrier such as baby gates stacked securely or a pet gate. Drape a blanket over the barrier, leaving just an inch or two gap at the bottom so the pets can gradually see each other without becoming overwhelmed.

Once both pets display neutral body language and no signs of stress, you can try a brief, supervised interaction without the barrier. Keep the dog on a leash during this step in case they become overstimulated or attempt to chase the cat.

Make sure your cat has access to vertical space, such as shelves or a cat tree, and an easy escape route back to their safe zone if they feel uncomfortable.

Most importantly, never force interactions. Rushing the process can lead to fear, anxiety, and long-term tension between your pets. Patience and a slow, positive approach are key to a successful integration.

And today we’re at in Richmond for Rosie’s CCL surgery. Rosie is fear reactive and can exhibit aggressive behaviors toward other dogs. We didn’t have much notice for this appointment. I would have liked more time to prepare her with a handling and muzzle refresher, we just didn’t have it. Fortunately we have put a lot of time into practicing cooperative care in general as well as engagement and reactivity work. We communicated her needs to HH, our vet prescribed meds for today, she’s resting comfortably with her muzzle, and I’m so super proud of her!! Send your best thoughts to my sweet special girl! It’s going to be a long day for her.🙏🏼❤️
