Where are you getting the new dog? They need to be introduced by a behaviorist or someone who knows to keep the leashes loose, etc during a dog intro. It would also be best if they meet on neutral territory. I would also introduce one dog to the new one alone, then introduce the other to the new one, then see how all three together interact. Sometimes adding a third dog to the mix can cause problems, especially with unsocialized dogs.
Your dogs are never allowed inside? I would put the cat away sometimes and allow the dogs to come in and interact with the family. They are very social creatures and would love to come inside as part of the pack.
Good luck and I hope it works out.
