The best time to teach a dog and cat to get along is when one or both are being introduced into the family for the first time.

Step 1: Evaluate the situation
Some dogs are more likely than others to harm cats. Learn what you can about a dog's personality before bringing one home. If you already have a dog, evaluate their temperament before introducing a cat.

Tip
To help the animal who's been with you longer adjust, avoid giving the new animal the run of the house right away.

Step 2: Supervise the introduction
Supervise the introduction with one or both animals crated. Let each one smell an item belonging to the other.

Tip
If you're introducing a puppy to your cat, hold the puppy and let the cat smell it. Do not hold the cat.

Step 3: Provide treats and toys
Provide treats and toys so the animals associate this together time with a pleasant experience.

Step 4: Limit supervised visits
End the visit if things get too rough. Say "No," and separate the animals.

Step 5: Feed cat out of reach of dog
Feed your cat out of reach of the dog so the dog won’t eat the cat's food.

Step 6: Extend supervised visits
Increase the length of supervised visits as your pets make progress. Continue rewarding them with treats and play. If all goes well, you can expect to reach your goal within 3-4 weeks.

Step 7: Congratulate yourself
Enjoy your one big happy family. You've laid the foundation for your pets to be lifelong friends.
