I've had 2 prairie dogs in my life and am looking forword to my 3rd. Prairie dogs get along with both cats and dogs. It depends on you animal's personality. Just like any pet. I had a prairie dog that would hold on tight to my mom's bichon frise and my mom's dog would go running. I called what they were doing. 'Playing Football' because they would tackle each other while playing with a small ball about the size of my fist.
As always, animal's personalities have to be taken into advisement.
My 2nd prairie dog would cuddle with my cat and they'd clean each other and fall asleep rolled up together on my bed.
