Dog and cat in one house - is it possible ?

Dog and cat in one house ?

Let your pets see each other through a glass door or a partially opened door before a face-to-face meeting. They can get used to each other while feeling safe. Hold a controlled face-to-face meeting – once your cat and dog have become comfortable eating on opposite sides of the door and have been exposed to each other’s scents, you can attempt a face-to-face introduction. Teach your dog that chasing or rough play is unacceptable. Also teach and reward your dog for good behaviour, such as sitting, coming when called, or lying down.
Be sure to reward your pet for being good!


If your cat and/or dog doesn't behave, treat your owner/pet with respect and offer her or him the best care possible.


Do you want your pet to grow up to take care of you, yourself and your family?

The answers to these questions may surprise you.


If you are pregnant or trying to raise a child, consider giving your pet a loving home.

Pets who are housetrained and have been socialized for their first year can have a more enjoyable life. Puppies can be good and active companions too.


Is it possible to have an animal in a house or on a leash ? Are there any other types of animals that we could put in houses ?


It is possible to have animals in the home, but the laws around the ownership, use and management of animals are extremely complicated.

There are laws to protect humans from animals but, if there are pets in an apartment or house where human visitors come in without consent, the law says that if you see an animal, the law says that you could not let it back in! It would be a criminal act to leave your pet unsupervised in a house or apartment with an owner or guest who you do not know or trust.

The laws for keeping animals are extremely important. If you can provide food, water and care, and you are able to get a license from either your state Department of Agriculture or a local agency, you are free to keep pets in your home.

If one of your neighbors does not want your dog/cat to come around on your property, it can be difficult trying to convince them to change their mind.

Many people choose to keep their animals because they want to protect their property from being stolen or destroyed. But, as the owner of your home, your responsibility is to take care of this home to the best of your ability.

How do you keep your pet out of your house ?

It's a matter of education. Your pet may become habituated to people and to other animals in your neighborhood or city. If this happens to you, try teaching your dog a friendly "no-see" approach by putting a collar around their neck. Don't take your dog out of your home at night and don't go into your home at 3 in the morning.

There's a saying about keeping your dog out of your home: "the dog always goes outside" – but it's not always true.

Be careful and teach your dog about how you do things and that you're responsible for them. If your dog has learned to avoid humans, you might want to look into teaching it a "no see" approach. Don't be afraid to take your dog outside when they can avoid it if there are people and animals nearby.


Yeah
