Generally, they enjoy eating quality dry and wet dog food as their main diet, but they can also enjoy other things such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and even some types of human food (such as cheddar cheese and cooked chicken). It's best to keep an eye on your pup when giving treats or snacks to make sure they don't cause any digestive issues. Treats should also be given in moderation due to their higher calorie content.

Yes, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels enjoy swimming and it is actually beneficial exercise for them. Swimming is a low impact activity for them that helps build muscle and provides aerobics. According to the AKC, "The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel should also take part in swimming for exercise, as this is one activity that does not strain its joints and muscles." This breed can take to the water quite easily, but owners should always take caution by supervising their canine companion if they are around a pool or a body of water.
Whether or not a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel gets along with other pets depends on the individual dog as each one has a unique personality. In general, they tend to be quite social and get along well with other pets and especially with humans. However, they may show aggression towards other dogs of the same sex or of a smaller size and can be difficult to introduce to other pets. If you already own other animals it is important to properly introduce them to a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and do your best to provide adequate exercise and attention so that they can learn to live together peacefully.
An appropriate amount of time to spend on training a Cavalier King Charles daily depends on the individual. Some owners prefer to work with their Cavalier for up to 1 hour per day with regular breaks, while others spend around 15 minutes per day doing basic commands and activities. It's important to remember that puppies require more patience and time to train, as they are still learning. If you plan on having your Cavalier compete in obedience tests or join competitions at a dog show, then more time may be necessary to dedicate to their training.
