About dogs good with cats in Oadby and Wigston
If you have a cat, adopting a dog that has already shown it can live peacefully with cats removes most of the risk. This page gathers the dogs listed with rescues in and around Oadby and Wigston that their rescue says can live with cats.

How do I introduce a new dog to my cat?
Slowly, and with the cat always able to get away. Keep them apart at first and let them get used to each other's scent, then try short, supervised meetings with the dog on a lead, rewarding calm behaviour. Give the cat high places and a dog-free room. A dog already known to be cat-friendly makes this far easier, but patience still wins.
Which dogs are best with cats?
It comes down to the individual dog's prey drive and history rather than its breed, though dogs with a very strong chase instinct are a bigger risk. The safest choice is a dog its rescue says lives calmly with cats. Never assume a breed is automatically safe with cats, and always introduce them gradually.
