    Introducing new pet kitten to old pet bull dog
    Anyone know if there's a proper procedure for introducing a 10-week old kitten to a 5-year old, 80 pound, English bulldog? The bulldog's been a little snappy around puppies. Not sure how he'll react to a new kitten in the house.

    For at least a few days I would keep the kitty confined to a room. Maybe take the dog to the door and let them sniff each other from afar.

    You could also try putting the kitten in a cage and sitting it in the living space with you (a few hours daily when your available to supervise) do that for a week or so and let them see each other from a safe distance dog.

    Also when I gave the kitten free roam of the house I would make sure that I was on hand to supervise and conflicts. Whne unable to supervise one would have to be confined until I was sure that they could tolerate or ignore each other.
