hello all :-)

ive just moved into my dads girlfriends house with my dog kia (gsd-3) and my cat sammy who is 4.
my dads girlfriend has 2 other cats and 1 other dog. her dog chloe is around 7 and is a rescue gsd. chloe has never got on with any other dogs or cats, but maggie (dads girlfriend) has done a good job helping her to accept the cats and they all get on great now.my dog kia gets on with all other dogs and cats.I walk them together and feed them at the same time (opposite ends of the room) and always stay with them when they are eating as chloe has gone for kia on several occasions. chloe is VERY jelous of kia with eveything she does and follows her around growling at her if she steps a foot out of line.i was just wandering if anybody else has any suggestions on what else i can do to help them get on better???
thanks

Heather, just make sure, for the time being, that they are not left alone in the same room for any length of time.    They will have to sort out the heirarchy between them - which they probably will, with a few grumbles at each other, but each must have its own space when they are left alone.

I have the same problem when i take my pup round to my mums her rescue dog who shes had since a pup is now 10 and no matter what pup does he barks at him ect i dont leave them alone together but i would like them to get on but i think its just time they need

I would also NOT feed them in the same room - feed them in separate rooms.  It's not nice for your dog to be growled at like this and feel oppressed while she is eating her dinner, or at any other time. 

I wouldn't rush things - keep them apart most of the day, definitely keep them apart when they are unsupervised, and let them be together for only a very short amount of time every day.  This way they will slowly get used to each other but without confrontations and with them each having their own space.

thanks for the advice everyone.
im still going to feed them in the same room as i always sit in between them and neither of them gets chance to be disturbed when they are eating.chloe isnt allowed into my bedroom so i keep it as kia and sammys(my cat) place so that they both feel at ease there.
thank you all
