Introduce the Pets on Neutral Territory
You don’t want to immediately bring a new pet into your pet’s private sanctuary. This is sure to cause tension. Instead, find a neutral spot that can be used for introductions. This may be somewhere in the back yard that is generally unused by your original pet or a room in the home that your cat or dog doesn’t enter frequently. Bringing a strange new animal into a place where your old pet feels most comfortable can lead to a fight, so make sure to keep it neutral.
