The desire to get a dog if there is a cat in the house is quite understandable. Dogs are more attached to people and will keep you company on a walk.
Cats seem to be made for cozy evenings when it's raining, windy, and otherwise bad weather outside. But will a dog and a cat get along?
To prevent pets from spoiling the idyll, you need to approach the choice of a dog wisely. Here are some intelligent breeds that you can choose in this case.
Labrador Retriever
The kindest dog, always ready for training and games, an absolutely non-aggressive creature that can even get along with a cat.
Beagle
Although it is a hunting dog, the dog behaves well at home and will not pick on the cat, even if the latter has a bad character. In addition, the beagle will endure loneliness much more cheerfully with a cat.
Basset Hound
Calm, docile, patient. They only need glasses on their nose and a book in their paws. You will have to wait a long time for aggression from him. The dog himself does not like to disturb others, not counting the fact that he likes to howl.
Bulldog
This fellow gets along well with all pets. Like the cat, this dog leads a couch potato lifestyle, does not like water and excessive activity.
Papillon
Cheerful and curious dogs who are not averse to frolicking with anyone. If there is no one at home, they will start having fun with the cat.
The main thing when choosing a dog is not to forget about the character of the cat. There is an opinion that it is cats that provoke all conflicts with dogs.
