All that allowing cats and dogs into a room with hamsters is good for is causing unnecessary stress. They cannot and should not be allowed to be in the same room and quite frankly "getting used to each other" is a ridiculous excuse when it does absolutely nothing good for the hamster but cause stress - it also really isn't fair to the cats or dog to tempt them with prey like that if I'm being honest. That stress can lead to illness for example!

I would honestly be looking for a different potential owner if this one isn't willing to guarantee that their predatory pets will absolutely not under any circumstances ever be allowed in the same room. That is ultimately what's best for the hamster.
