Initially a new member should be kept in a separate room for a few weeks. As dogs and cats produce their own scent which they use for territory marking along with urination, it's hard for the older ones to accept the new ones. During this separation period, you can switch the bedding on alternate days so that they get used to each other’s scent. Get them toys separately and swap between them. Give them playtime for few hours together under your supervision. Give them feeding and water bowls separately.

During the playtime use treats to praise them and introduce them. Using commands is a good idea too.

Thanks a ton, doctor. We have kept them in separate rooms itself. My Shih Tzu is very excited to meet the cats. The smaller cat however hisses after awhile. Will take into consideration all your inputs and keep you posted!
