How do I introduce new adult dogs to my existing puppies and cat?

Question

I was recently informed when my significant other's grandmother passes( which will unfortunately probably be sometime this year) we are going to be the most likely to inherit her dogs. Can you guys offer any advice on incorporating a middle-aged Jack Russell and a slightly obese senior Chihuahua and to the family of a Lab mix puppy a Chiweenie puppy and a young cat?

If you will be inheriting her dogs I would recommend getting them used to them now. Slowly introduce them to each other outside the home and once they are doing well together I would then bring them to your house. I would bring them little by little and leave them for longer periods of time at your home. That way the transition is a little easier for everyone. I am so sorry about your significant other's grandmother. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
