Top 8+ Adorable Dog Breeds That Get Along With Cats

2) Labrador Retriever

These sporty dogs are smart and adaptable, making them a good fit for multi-pet households. They love to run and play, and are eager to please, which means they are likely to be receptive to positive reinforcement encouraging good behavior towards a cat.

5) Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

These silky-haired dogs aren’t much larger than cats themselves, so they aren’t likely to terrorize a cat based on size. Cavaliers are gentle, affectionate and patient, making them a great choice both for first-time dog owners and for homes with children or other pets.

6) Collies

Collies are athletic and intelligent, and they’re known for getting along well with children. They love companionship, but they are herding dogs, so they may want to be up in your cat’s personal space.
