Tag wiki for compatibility

Questions about whether two or more animals might be compatible with each other, or even if the animal is compatible with the owner.

It seems to me like multi-pet-families is a synonym for compatibility, am I right? What's the difference?

Answer 1

I would read them as different.

multi-pet-families is about dealing with problems and issues within the home as a result of having more than one pet.

compatibility is about how two or more animals may get along (second animal may be people).

There may be some minor cross-over there, but not necessarily. For example, compatibility of fish species doesn't otherwise really reflect a multi-pet household situation the same way as having a doberman and a guinea pig might. For example, the two might be compatible (not likely ;p) but then the introduction of the guinea pig might bother the doberman causing him to urinate inappropriately. The species may be compatible, the problem is home specific and the situation may or may not apply to others.
