Do Bichons get along with other pets?
Overall, yes Bichons do get along well with other pets. It will depend on the personality of your other pet. We had a one year old male neutered cat in our household when we added our first Bichon. My cat (he is now four and one-half years old) loves the Bichons. He washes their faces and the Bichons wash his. He has his favorite Bichon but overall he plays with all of them. Not all cats are going to be as great as my Nicky. Supervise their play to begin with to make sure they get along. You would not want your cat to scratch your new Bichon puppy. I would be extremely careful if I was adding a Bichon to a household that has a large dog for fear that the large dog would hurt the smaller Bichon. Supervision is required in the beginning until you know for sure that the animals will play nicely together.
