Anyone is experience adopting a deaf dog into a house with cats or other non-deaf pets

I am looking into adopting a deaf Aussie Sheppard. My concern is I have 3 cats at home. I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with this and can give me some advice or pointers on how and what it’s like and what I should be expecting. Do you recommend it or no?

What do you mean by high energy herding breed?

Can you explain what you mean by ‘fatalities’?

Fatalities mean serious harm or death to the cats. For example, the dog could accidentally knock them down or attack them. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

I see. Do you think it’s still possible to adopt a deaf Aussie Sheppard and have them live with my cats?

Has anyone else had a situation like this? Adopting a deaf dog and having non-deaf pets?

Yes, I have a deaf dog and a cat. We got them at the same time and they’ve been great friends. The key is to make sure the dog gets enough attention and exercise

@Dylan
How did you introduce them to each other?

Can you tell me more about what you mean by ‘enough attention and exercise’?

Deaf dogs can get bored and restless if they don’t get enough physical and mental stimulation. It’s essential to provide them with a variety of activities, such as walks, training, and playtime
