A house where a dog already lives may get another pet.

Regardless of whether it is a kitten or a puppy, animals need help to make peace. Rarely does this process occur without human intervention.

In an interview with RBC Life, the head of the Russian Cynological Federation, Vladimir Golubev, told how to reconcile two pets.

A person is required to eliminate the dog's jealousy. Having taken a new animal into the house, he should not forget about the first pet.

You also need to make sure that the dog is socialized, that is, it is not afraid of the presence of other people or animals.

Considering the pet's character, try to imagine the dog's approximate reaction to the appearance of a second animal.

Even if the first meeting went well, all further contacts should take place under human supervision and the four-legged ones should get used to each other’s company gradually.

The main thing is that there is enough attention for everyone.

Animals must be rewarded for good behavior.

You also need to be prepared for the fact that your charges will not become friends.

And you can rejoice even if two animals simply peacefully coexist under one roof.
