Use Towel to Introduce New Pet's Smell

Introducing a new pet such as a dog or cat to a family with other animals can be stressful for pets and family. The main reason that pets don't like each other at first, is the strange smell of the new pet.

Wet a terry cloth towel with warm water and wring it out till damp. Wipe the new pet with the towel, then the pets already in the home with the same towel. This process will transfer the smells from the new pet to the established pet, making the transition easier and quicker. Usually within hours.
