13 Dog Breeds That Get On Well With Cats

The fact that the tailed beasts are not friends with each other is a myth. And some doggies do not like souls in their purring brethren at all.

These dogs can melt any heart. They are kind, loyal, incredibly friendly and charming. Even children are cared for if there are babies in the family. Well, they also do not refuse to nurse the cats. Perhaps, at first, at the stage of acquaintance, they will have to explain that a cat is a friend, comrade and brother. And then they very quickly become inseparable. 

Basset hound

Representatives of this breed are very restrained dogs, even a little phlegmatic. They will accept the cat into the family without much excitement and will not betray their feelings in any way. So it is quite possible that there is no need to explain that a cat is not a prey or a toy. Due to their melancholy basset hounds, they become a great company for cats, they easily tolerate little bullies. 

Beagle

Initially, this breed was bred for hunting, and the Beagles hunt by all means in a pack. Therefore, finding other animals next to these adorable nimble dogs does not bother at all. Beagles can be dangerous for cats only if there are more than two of them in one house. It is possible that then they will unite in a flock and start hunting. 

Pug

They are friendly and not at all opposed to the company. They usually miss their person very much while he is not at home. And it is quite possible that the cat will become not just a “colleague” in the apartment, but also a friend and consolation of a dog’s heart. 

Cavalier king charles spaniel

Yes, a dog, like Ksenia Borodina’s. We have already talked about the advantages of this breed – cute dogs get along well with children, and get along with cats.

Maltese

Or maltese. They are very social dogs, they love society. And not necessarily people, cats will do too.

Collie

Adorable dogs that are able to get along with anyone and warm anyone’s heart, even the Snow Queen. True, there may be a conflict not because of the dog’s aggression towards the cat, but because of the collie’s excessive tendency to custody. Originally bred as herding dogs, collies will look after all the household, and independent cats do not really like it. 

Papillon

Thanks to their perseverance and fearlessness, dachshunds will find a common language with any, even the most cynical cat. 

Bulldogs
