Sometimes you just don't know what to do when your cats and dogs don't get along.

Feeling stuck isn't uncommon, but that doesn’t stop it from being frustrating!

Sometimes it takes a second set of eyes to look at what’s going on and identify find those areas where a little change could make all the difference.

Yasmin’s two old lady cats, Zelda and Pangea, are struggling with the young canine member of the family, Fenna. Fenna chases the cats the moment they even try to find a bit of space from her.
