At this point, owners need to keep an eye on their reactions to make sure they don't get into conflict. If all goes well, you can increase the amount of time they spend together. 3. How to get along For dogs and guinea pigs to live in harmony, it takes the joint efforts of both parties. For dogs, learn to respect the space and territory of guinea pigs. Owners can set some rules for their dogs, such as keeping a certain distance when approaching guinea pigs, avoiding overly intense movements or sounds, etc. For guinea pigs, it is necessary to adapt to the environment where dogs are present and gradually develop confidence in the new environment. Owners can provide them with a safe and comfortable shelter to give them peace of mind. 4.
