How do you introduce a high-drive dog to a new cat safely? We’re taking it slow, but my dog just cannot stop staring.

Hi there,
You’re right to take things slowly. The first few meetings should always be supervised, keeping the dog under control (on a lead if necessary) and ensuring the cat has high-up spots or areas where they can retreat. If your dog stares intensely at the cat or shows a high prey drive, I would recommend getting some advice from your vet or a behaviourist to make the introductions safe and look after the well-being of both pets.
Best wishes,
Victoire
