Best Dog Breeds for Cats

 There is a bad reputation of cats not getting along with dogs and vice versa!  However, some breeds are friends to felines and have a better chance of getting along with them.  Some dog breeds love to chase, herd, and some are just friendly.  These are the traits that make some dogs tolerable to cats while still liking them back.  We have created a list of some of the most popular cat-loving dog breeds!

Pug – This is a breed that loves to snuggle up and fall asleep almost anywhere!  Pugs are very friendly and have been known to get along great with cats.

Beagle – This breed is happy-go-lucky and curious.  The Beagle is friendly to the core, to the point where they may annoy cats with the intention of wanting to play with them!

Lab – The Lab is a loving giant breed who is known for tenderness.  The breed tolerates anything cats do to them and will want to snuggle up with them afterwards.

Bulldog – This breed loves to play and nap which makes them a great companion to cats!  The bulldog will play with the cat and then take a long nap with them afterwards.

Golden Retriever – This breed is easy to train and very intelligent to note!  Cats do not serve as a threat to Goldens because they are aware of their boundaries and won’t overstep them.

Basset Hound – This breed loves its owner and anything that its owner loves!  This means that they will tolerate a cat even if they don’t want to.

Did your dog not make our list?  No need to worry!  With the proper training and socialization, most dog breeds can do well around cats.  All it will take is a little time and patience.
