Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a small breed of spaniel that is considered a fairly healthy breed of dog. They are affectionate, playful and loyal companions that are easy to train. As long as they receive regular physical activity, they do well living in small areas such as an apartment. Grooming is important for their long, silky coats, and they need clipped or brushed at least once a week. Cavaliers have no undercoat, so they don't need to be bathed frequently.
No, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels do not have a non-shedding coat. While they may not shed heavily, they do shed some. Throughout the year you can expect to see some hair in your home and on your furniture. That being said, they do require regular brushing to keep their long silky coats looking healthy and free of excessive shedding. Regular brushing should also keep their coats free of tangles and knots. To keep your Cavalier looking and feeling its best, weekly brushing is recommended.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are quite happy eating a well-balanced diet of quality dry kibble, occasional canned food, or a combination of both. Their diet should be tailored to their age, size and activity level, and consist of high-quality animal proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It's important to avoid overfeeding them, however, as Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are prone to weight gain and obesity. Additionally, foods such as chocolate and raisins should be avoided, as they can be toxic.
Becoming an excellent puppy parent while waiting for your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel starts before you even bring your puppy home. Take the time to research how to properly care for a puppy; it will help you be ready to provide the best environment and care during the initial weeks and months in your home. The more you know ahead of time, the better prepared you will be to understand their behaviors, needs, and health concerns. Aside from learning, invest in the appropriate supplies and toys, such as age-appropriate toys and chew items, bedding, and food.
Cavaliers King Charles Spaniels (or "Cavs") are medium-sized dogs, typically reaching a height of 12–13 inches at the shoulder as adults. However, their breeding standard states an acceptable range of heights from 11–13 inches for a full-grown adult. The breed also usually weighs between 13–18 pounds, though this can depend on the gender. While small in comparison to some other breeds, a full-grown Cavalier can still be relatively large and hearty, with a thick coat of long fur.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels need regular exercise in order to stay healthy and happy. Each dog will have different exercise needs depending on their age, size and overall health. Generally speaking, an adult Cavalier should receive about two 20-30 minute sessions of exercise per day. Walks, jogs, and playtime in the yard are great options for these active little dogs. Engaging activities like fetch, obedience training, and mental stimulation like puzzles are also very beneficial. It's important to start with short sessions and gradually increase the exercise gradually as your pet gets older.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are excellent choices for families due to their temperament, energy level, and loyalty. They are generally friendly and enjoy spending time with children and adults alike. They are also intelligent and can be trained to perform basic obedience commands. Cavaliers thrive in both small and larger households and are adaptable to different lifestyles and personalities. Their moderate energy level makes them great companions who are eager to go on daily walks or occasional playtime. With a loving and secure environment, Cavaliers make beautiful and devoted family pets.
Training your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel should be a rewarding experience for both you and your pup! To begin, make sure you have plenty of patience and consistency. Start with basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay', as these are important fundamentals to successful dog training. Positive reinforcement with treats is highly recommended, as it encourages your pup to continue trying. You may also want to utilize toys, such as dangling a toy in front of your pup and rewarding them for paying attention and following commands.
