Questions & Answers
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small breed of spaniel-type dog which is known for its distinctive silky, long fur. It is a friendly, gentle, and affectionate breed, making them a popular choice as companion dogs. The origin of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dates back to the 17th century when they were bred in England and Scotland. They were brought to the United States in the 1950s. As of 2020, the breed is recognized by the American Kennel Club and by the Canadian Kennel Club as a toy dog breed.
Though some people may believe that Cavaliers do not shed at all, the answer to the question is no, Cavaliers are not typically considered to be a non-shedding breed of dog. Cavaliers do not shed large amounts of fur, so their grooming needs are on the lighter side, but they are classified as a moderate-shedding breed. However, their coats also require regular brushing and occasional professional grooming in order to avert matting. All Cavalier coats should be groomed regularly to keep them from becoming matted and tangled, and Cavaliers with long coats require even more frequent brushing.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are active and healthy dogs that require a nutritious, high-quality diet. Generally, for adult dogs, a great choice for daily meals is a dry kibble specifically designed for smallor medium-sized dogs that contain lean sources of protein like fish, poultry, or meats. Ingredients like whole-grain carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables will ensure your pup is getting the vitamins and minerals they need. You can also supplement their diet with a healthy, balanced wet food or an occasional treat of meat, poultry, cheese, or yogurt.
Preparing your home for a new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel requires taking time to puppy-proof your space and acquire the necessary supplies. Start by making sure all the wires and electrical outlets are covered and all poisonous substances are stored away safely. Then, create a designated area for the pup with puppy-friendly furniture, toys, and beds. Have a strap on water bottle to keep them hydrated throughout the day, and a variety of chew toys to provide fun, interactive activities and reduce any indiscriminate chewing.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels come in two sizes: Toy and the larger size known as the ‘Blenheim’. The Toy size is typically 9-12 inches tall from the shoulder to the ground, while the Blenheim size is usually 11-13 inches in height. The Toy size can weigh as little as 8 pounds, while the Blenheim size can weigh up to 18 pounds at maturity. Although there is variation between individual dogs, this is the general consensus for size for this breed.
It's recommended that you walk your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel at least 20-30 minutes per day. That's the amount suggested by most pet owners and veterinarians, though it could be slightly more depending on the breed's activity level and age. To keep your dog healthy and happy, it's important to ensure they are getting the exercise they need. This should include both walks and other active playtime. To make sure your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is getting the right amount of exercise, watch for signs of restlessness or lack of energy.
