When there are multiple pets in the household, the owner
faces the challenge of finding out how to get everyone to get along. When there
is a new pet, it should not be expected to mingle with all the resident pets
immediately. On the other hand, resident pets may display aggressive behaviors
towards the newest pet.
Some of this behavior could be a fixation on the new pet or the temporary room of said pet. Another example would be to hiss when the pet passes by.
To prevent pets from being hostile with one another, give them chance to be familiar with each other’s presence and scents. Put the new pets in a separate room until they are acquainted with one another.
The best way is to introduce one another slowly. Doing so will prevent the pets from being hostile. You should also supervise the behavior of all your pets to see who is aggressive.
If you have concerns about your pet’s behavior, contact your pet clinic Carmel Valley.
