Dogs, especially puppies are social animals and thrive with both human and canine interactions. However, you should never force your dogs or puppies to interact with anyone he is resisting. First time meetings with other dogs or cats should always be monitored and never leave babies or young children alone with any dog of any age.
Introducing Puppies to Dogs When your puppy enters a home that already has an established dog, first meetings can be crucial.
When introducing puppies to older dogs, have the older dog sniff the puppy when he is sleeping to allow the older dog to investigate and accept the puppy on his own terms.
Introducing Puppies to Cats When your puppy enters a home that already has an established cat, first meetings can be crucial.
When introducing puppies to cats, it is best to have the puppy inside a crate so the kitty will not feel threatened or in danger and will more easily accept the puppy.
