A dog and or a cat can kill a duckling in a moment. Never leave your duck alone with your dog or cat until you know that they get along and they get along very well. Even then, it is not a good idea to leave your duck alone with other animals. Ducks are prey animals and have a strong, very strong prey instinct. This instinct can and sometimes does set off the predictor instinct in a dog or cat. If the duck, runs and it can set off a dog or cat in an instant. Your dog, cat, and other pets still have strong instincts.

You should be careful with dogs and introduce them to each other slowly. Ducks are amiable creatures but like to have their own space so uninvited guests will be asked to leave with a determined quack and even a quick nip to the ankles. If you have cats or neighbourhood cats that catch birds then it's worth keeping them away from your ducks.
