Company Policy; Human Factors; Procedure
ZZZ Ramp Crew at Gate XX loaded Dry-Ice and a Live Animal (Dog) into the forward cargo bin; as the Captain I was never given a NOTOC or was even told about the dry-ice. The closeout only reflected the Live Animal in F1. Once I was made aware of the issue in ZZZ1 I immediately checked on the live animal and made sure it was okay. [This was caused by] insufficient and poor job skills from ZZZ ramp crew at Gate XX.
Air Carrier Captain reported undocumented DG transported and a Hazmat cargo load segregation violation by loading dry ice in same cargo compartment with live animal. No NOTAC provided to flight crew during preflght.
