How to introduce your new puppy to your cat?
Pre-Introduction Preparations
Ensure that you have completed all required training, certifications, and qualifications relevant to your deployment assignment. This may include specialized combat training, medical certifications, language proficiency exams, or other skill-specific requirements. By ensuring you are fully trained and prepared, you’ll feel more confident and capable when faced with the demands of deployment.
Scent Exchange
We began by swapping bedding and toys between Sasha and Kobe to familiarize them with each other’s scents. This helped ease their initial anxiety and set a positive tone for their eventual meeting.
Controlled Introduction
When it was time for their first meeting, we kept it controlled and supervised, just as you should. Keeping Kobe on a leash allowed Sasha to approach at her own pace, ensuring a stress-free introduction for both pets.
And so our journey continued, with gradual integration, positive reinforcement, and plenty of patience. Through it all, we learned the importance of respecting each pet’s boundaries and providing individual attention to both Sasha and Kobe.
