It allows the dog pet to get more comfortable around the people to whom it is being introduced, and such daily calm interactions can boost the dog's comfortableness to a great extent. Such an approach can be applied to the other pets that are already in the family.

With such an approach, it can allow the pets to play with each other and interact more in a comfortable sense, boosting their trustworthiness among each other. 

Going on walks together

Patience 

It may seem a long route to achieve such a comfort stage between the new dog pet and the family members. But if it wouldn't hard, it won't be fun after achieving it. Having patience with the new pet at each step can lead to a great amount of friendship in the longer run. Acknowledging positivity between the new dog pet and other pets in your family is a great approach to enjoying lifelong friendship blooming.
