Almost been one week! It's been crazy! Ready to give up! Animals not getting along, one is having accidents the others aren't eating and the "new" one is alittle too much for me to deal with along w/ all!!

I have no idea what to tell you. I had 2 cats. 1 15 years old and the other about 3. The older cat passed away and about 2 months later we thought we would try a new cat. The 3 year old *now almost 4*.. is VERY aggressive, conceited, and if you do something he doesn't like.. he will let you know about it. Anywyas, we got a new cat .. kitten.. and the 3 year old was a BIG brat for about 2-3 wks.
Even though im talking about cats.. I'm sure it relates. Just give the dogs time and it might all work out. The cats love each other now and even wash each others fur.
Best of luck to you!

Sometimes pets won't ever get along, my family has ten pets and three of the cats never be nice to each other. Eventually, your pets will almost be made to like each other. If not, then separate them by who gets along and who doesn't. If none of them do then patience is the key. My newest animal is a little crazy, too. One of my cats doesn't eat hardly anything, and over a few months it got used to the food, but it still eats light. The three dogs of mine aren't what you say "friends" but they wont fight.

I have no answer to your question, I just have the same problem. I brought home a stray dog today. i have a cat who is very good with us, but hates dogs. They are not in the same space. The cat tried to attack the dog through the balcony door. i tried to calm him and I got a deep bite and scratches. The only thing that works a little is a liquid you put in the plug (like insect repellents). This has feromones that calm the cats. Good luck.

We got a new dog when our other dog was a year and a half and at first they were kind of timid with one another but after about 3 solid days of being around each other they were fine. Your situation puzzles me?!? So, is the pet that you already had having accidents? What kind of animals are these?....cats? dogs?

We have a two week refund policy on your adoption fee. One week is usually a good indicator on wether or not they will come around to each other. If your current pets are not used to being introduced to other pets it may take them longer. It takes 21 days for something to become a habit.

I used to have two dogs (sadly, we had to put one down several years ago) and they never, ever got along. I'm sure this isn't true to all animals, but I guess it does happen sometimes.

It usually takes a couple of weeks. Hang in there and they WILL get along!

it depends on how they handle eachother umm is it a dog if it is look at their tall and if it is up all the way then she or he thinks they r the boss and when ur dog does that take ur hand and make it like you are holding a baseball but make it smaller then hit in his neck and then he will stop thinking he is the boss but i will take a while like 5 days
