Dogs bite cats usually because of their instinct drives, such as hunting and defending territory. In addition, dogs and cats may struggle because of resources (such as food or water), which may lead to dogs’ behavior of biting cats.

Sometimes, dogs bite cats may also respond to aggressive behaviors because the dog is subject to fear, stress and uneasiness. When a dog bites a cat, we need to act quickly to stop this behavior.

First of all, we need to ensure the safety of the cat. If the cat is injured, first aid and treatment should be given in time. If the cat just gets bitten, we can first wipe the wound with disinfectant or alcohol, then apply medicine or go to the hospital for treatment. Secondly, we need to train dogs and cats appropriately. Through training, we can let them understand that their behavior is inappropriate and help change the relationship between them. To avoid dogs biting cats, we can give the dog an instruction such as "stop" or "leave". When a dog tries to get close to a cat, we can use this command to prevent it from continuing to get closer. In addition, we can also encourage positive interactions between dogs and cats through rewards, such as playing together, resting together, etc.
