Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles is a small spaniel breed that loves attention and is typically very friendly. They are an active breed, so they do need regular exercise and stimulation. They can be obedient if trained properly and respond best with positive reinforcement. They can be prone to separation anxiety and should not be left alone for extended periods of time. This breed does shed and require frequent grooming including regular brushing and occasional trips to the groomer. Grooming needs will be affected by the type of Coat, as Cavaliers come in three main types of coats—Smooth, Blenheim, and Ruby.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a breed that typically does not shed much, due to their coat's silky texture. They are considered low shedding and may not require as regular grooming as some other breeds. Generally, a good brushing once a week should be enough to keep their coat in healthy condition. These dogs also have an undercoat which may produce dander, but the amount is usually very minimal. Some Cavalier King Charles owners report that their dogs do not shed at all.
Feed your Cavalier King Charles the best quality food you can buy that is specially formulated for his breed and size. Look for a food that is appropriate for his age (puppy, adult, senior) and doesn't contain artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Feeding him a high-quality kibble that contains natural, wholesome ingredients like lean proteins, fruits and vegetables along with a mix of healthy fats and carbohydrates will ensure he not only receives balanced nutrition, but also helps him maintain his healthy coat and build strong bones.
Before bringing your Cavalier King Charles home, it is important to do a few things to get your home ready. Firstly, make sure there is a designated area for your pup such as a couch or dog bed as it is important to have a safe and quiet 'den' for them during their adjustment period. Next, be sure to puppy proof your home and remove any potential hazards. Some potential hazards could include things like small objects or wires, plants or anything that may be too easily reachable.
