How to avoid cat and dog fights
1, Keep cats and dogs at a certain distance
If you have a cat at home and choose to keep a dog later, after picking up the dog, you should leash the dog and keep the cat and dog at a certain distance. In this way, let them get acquainted with each other’s existence, and let the dog out after they are familiar with each other. This can greatly prevent them from forming a relationship as soon as they meet.
2. Treat cats and dogs fairly
Cats and dogs are also jealous, and the owner must not be nice to one party and ignore the other. If the cat was originally raised in the house, you can show that you are better to the cat, because the arrival of the dog will make the cat feel threatened, think that its territory is violated, and will also have a sense of falling out of favor. Therefore, the owner should show that you like the cat more, treat it better, and gradually eliminate the cat’s sense of crisis. Over time, the cat and the dog are familiar with each other, and after the relationship improves, they will live in peace. Generally, dogs are the more forgiving side, and they usually let the cats in the case of co-breeding, and even treat the cats very well.
3. Separate feeding
The owner usually feeds two pets, they should be fed separately, especially It is in the case of cats and dogs that they must not place their utensils too close. Because if one party is more protective of food, it may regard both meals as their own and the other party as an intruder. So it’s better for cats and dogs to have their own independent dining room. Cats and dogs have different diets, and cats generally eat more moderately. Even if they are provided with food and water for a day at a time, they will not say that they have finished eating. But dogs rarely restrain themselves, and they will eat as much food as their owners give them. If you see a cat with leftover food, it may be greedy. If this happens, you can put the cat’s food in a higher place, so the dog can’t reach it.
4. Don’t intervene unless necessary.
It is said that beating is kissing, and scolding is love. Cats and dogs may fight when they are not familiar with each other. Over time, their relationship will gradually increase. In short, it takes time for pets to gradually increase their relationship. In addition, cats and dogs express emotions differently, and they may misunderstand certain physical movements of each other and thus fight. If you want them to gradually get to know each other and understand each other’s expressions, you can only let nature take its course and give them time to understand slowly. Adult cats and dogs are prone to conflicts over issues such as turf war, pet competition, and food. This is unavoidable. As long as they don’t get hurt, just let them make small troubles. This is not a kind of life. What about fun?
5. Send one of them away or seek the help of a pet trainer
Most dogs have energy. Relatively vigorous, seeing aliens, especially small cats, can’t help but tease each other. However, if the cat’s personality is relatively cold, it may be ruthless to the dog who is too active, so the scene can get out of hand. If the cat and the dog fight hard, or there are frequent violent fights, you can only consider sending one of them away, or consult a pet trainer to resolve the conflict between them and see if they can get along well.
