Do Shiba Inus get along with other pets?

Shiba Inus can coexist with other pets, though their independent nature and high prey drive require careful management.

Introductions to other pets, especially smaller ones, must be supervised due to their strong hunting instincts. Discover more in our in-depth article about Shiba Inu temperament and training.
