Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a friendly breed of small dog that were originally bred as lapdogs for English nobles in the 17th century. They weigh anywhere from 14-18 pounds and range in colors from black and tan, ruby, and black & white. They are recognized for being great family companions and are known for their desire to please their owners.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have very low levels of shedding when compared to some other popular breeds of dog. Although no dog can be considered completely “non-shedding” due to the natural shedding of hair and fur, Cavaliers produce much less than average. If a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is groomed regularly and kept well-groomed, then shedding of fur should be minimal. Regular brushing is necessary to keep fur from matting and to reduce shedding, however this should not be expected to stop shedding altogether.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are active, companion dogs that require a balanced diet like that of a high-quality kibble. Kibble that is specifically made for toy breeds, such as the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, is typically the best choice since it provides the right amount of calories and is highly digestible. Additionally, fresh foods in moderation can provide variety and enhance nutrient absorption. Fresh foods like lean chicken, fish, beef, and eggs can be great sources of animal protein for your Cavalier, as well as a variety of fruits and vegetables.
To prepare your home for your new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, make sure you have the appropriate food and supplies on hand. Start with a soft, yet sturdy bed to ensure that your pup is comfortable. Make sure you have food, water, toys, treats, and any other necessary items for their care. Additionally, provide your pup with a safe space in the house, preferably with some type of cover to give them a sense of security. Don’t forget to crate train them and make sure they have an area, away from distractions, that they can be fully secure.
