Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. They originated in the United Kingdom and are gentle, affectionate, and intelligent! One interesting fact about the breed is that during the reign of King Charles II of England, these dogs were seen as “Comforters of the Companionless” due to their loyal and loving natures.
There is no short answer to this question; it depends on the individual. Some people who are allergic to dogs in general may find that they have worse allergies when they come into contact with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. However, that may not be the case for everyone. If you already have allergies, it may be best to speak with your doctor to determine the best course of action. In general, it is recommended that people with allergies keep their homes dust-free and get regular allergy shots, if necessary, to help control their symptoms.
It is important to remember that Cavalier King Charles’s, like all dogs, should only be fed a specifically balanced diet that meets your pet’s needs and provides all the essential nutrients. Avoid feeding your dog any human foods such as chocolate, grapes, or other sweets, as these can be toxic. Also, avoid giving them bones or other hard chunks of food. Anything that can be swallowed whole, or easily broken by the dog, can be a choking hazard and should not be given.
Yes, Cavalier King Charles have some special requirements which should be taken into consideration. As they are a small breed, they are quite active and therefore need regular exercise ideally at least an hour a day walking or playing. Additionally, their facial hair and fur should be brushed daily with a soft and appropriate brush or comb to keep it looking healthy and tangle free. As Cavaliers have a general tendency towards having respiratory problems, they should not be over-heated in extreme temperatures. They should also be kept out of certain environmental issues such as sulfur dioxide and other air pollution.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel are considered small dogs, typically standing at around 12 to 13 inches tall and weighing an average of 13 to 18lbs. Although they do not have a uniform size, they do stick within this range making them much smaller than the larger breeds of dogs. Additionally, their coat of hair requires minimal grooming to keep clean and healthy. This, coupled with their small size, makes them very manageable and perfect for those who don't want the hassle of grooming and exercising a bigger dog.
Walking your Cavalier King Charles for at least 20-30 minutes per day is recommended. This should be broken into two or three sessions with at least 20 minutes each. This is enough time for your pup to expend their energy, toilet, and enjoy interaction with you and their environment. It is important to ensure your pup is on a lead at all times and to also take regular breaks for water and rest. It is not always necessary to walk for the full 20-30 minutes, but ensure you provide the pup with enough mental stimulation and physical activity.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels can typically get along with other pets, although it will largely depend on the individual dog's temperament and disposition. Many are very sociable and outgoing, and can easily play with other animals, like cats, rabbits or ferrets. Age can also play a factor puppies are more ready and willing to socialize with other four-legged friends. As with any new addition to the household, introducing pets slowly and in a controlled setting is best, to give them time to become familiar with each other and hopefully create a bond.
Training your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is an important part of responsible pet ownership. You can best train your Cavalier King Charles using positive reinforcement techniques. Start by providing your dog with snacks and praise in order to reward desired behaviors. Break down training goals into small, attainable steps and do not move on until your pup has mastered a command. Always remain consistent with your training methods and be sure to introduce distractions gradually. It's important to also regularly engage in puzzle-based activities that help prevent negative behaviors.
