Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles spaniels are undeniably devoted companions, but the most interesting thing about them might just be their impressive pedigree. According to the American Kennel Club, they date back to sixteenth century Europe when the royals favored them as small hunting dogs as well as lapdogs. Through the centuries, breed standards have been established and today, the breed is updated with genetic testing to maintain its good health. It's amazing how far these beloved dogs have come in such a short time.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are considered to be moderate shedders and do require regular brushing and grooming. However, they are known to have longer, silky coats that do not shed as much as other breeds. With regular brushing and trimming, the shedding can be kept to a minimum. While they may shed some, they are not a non-shedding breed of dog and do require regular care and grooming.
An optimal diet for a Cavalier King Charles should be full of nourishing proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Dry kibble that's specially formulated for a dog of this size is a great place to start. Your vet may be able to recommend a specific brand, as well. It's best to supplement the kibble with moist or raw meat, eggs, and fresh vegetables for variety, as well as to provide your pup with omega 3 fatty acids for healthy skin and coat. Avoid processed/refined foods and artificial colors/flavors.
To prepare for a new Cavalier King Charles, it is important to focus on the basics such as food, water, and exercise. Make sure you have the necessary supplies such as food bowls, chew toys, a bed or crate, and a leash. You should also make sure your house is puppy proof to ensure your Cavalier's safety. It is key to research and brush up on training methods ahead of time, so that you are able to get off to a good start. Additionally, socializing your pup is an essential as Cavaliers can be prone to shyness.
While no two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are exactly alike, they typically range in size from a diminutive height of 12-13 inches and an average weight of 13-18 pounds. Though there is no ‘standard’ size for this breed, the average size for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is typically small. They tend to have a slender, muscular appearance, with their signature large eyes and long, fluffy ears. As far as a weight range goes, a fully grown King Charles should ideally weigh between 13 and 18 pounds.
It's highly recommended that all Cavalier King Charles owners ensure their pup gets around 30 minutes of exercise spread throughout the day. This could be in the form of walks, jogs, romps, or games of fetch. Regular physical activity will keep your pup healthy and can help them maintain their weight. The amount of physical activity will differ between individual dogs, depending on their age and energy levels, though just 30 minutes split up into a few shorter sessions if you so choose is all it takes. Be sure to provide plenty of water and rest breaks.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are known for their gentle, friendly, and loving nature, so it’s no surprise that they usually get along very well with kids.
