It is possible that having a Cavalier King Charles could cause you to experience allergies. Being in direct contact with the dog, or with the dog's dander, may trigger an allergic reaction in some people. Though Cavalier King Charles typically don't carry many allergens on their fur, humans may still react to their saliva, urine, and other proteins that may be present in their environment – such as in the home. Additionally, people may react differently to Cavalier King Charles than to other breeds of dogs.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels benefit most from a diet of high-quality dry food formulated for small-breed adult dogs, given in measured, appropriate portions. It is important for dog owners to read the labels carefully, ensuring that the food they choose is appropriate for their pup's age and size. Additionally, it is essential to provide your pup with plenty of fresh, clean water throughout the day, helping to prevent urinary tract issues, as well as urinary irritation and dehydration.
Preparing your home for your new Cavalier King Charles is critical for a successful transition. Make sure you puppy-proof your home before bringing your pet home. Move any houseplants to a safe area; some common houseplants can be toxic to your pet. Furthermore, inspect your home for any potential hazards like electrical wires, fragile items, etc. Establish boundaries and train your puppy to stay away from these areas. Get your pet some supplies such as a bed, leash, food and water dishes, toys, etc.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are considered small-to-medium sized dogs, typically weighing between 14 and 18 pounds. However, some exceptions can exist where the breed may be taller than average or may have larger bones, making them seem larger than they actually are. Generally these dogs are excellent companions and are sometimes used as therapy or emotional support animals. While they are not considered "big" dogs, these spunky and friendly four-legged companions bring a lot of joy and comfort to many homes around the world.
Yes! Cavalier King Charles Spaniels love to swim and many owners are happy to introduce them to the water for active playtime or during a walk. They have moderately long coats and will need to be groomed and dried after a swim but their strong desire for the water makes it worth it. Their fun-loving nature and instinctual drive to retrieve items make them enthusiastic swimmers. Always use extra caution around deep water however, as even strong swimmers may run into distress.
Absolutely! Cavalier King Charles Spaniels make wonderful family pets. They are incredibly loving, loyal, and affectionate dogs that enjoy spending time with their humans. They will be your lifelong companion, bringing humor, laughter, and joy to your home. Cavaliers are great with children and tend to get along with other pets, so you can easily introduce them to a multi-pet household.
Training your Cavalier King Charles is a great way to strengthen the bond between you and your pet. To get started, start by establishing yourself as the leader, and you can do this by clearly assigning tasks and expectations. Make sure to use positive reinforcement and reward your Cavalier King Charles with treats and kind words. Teach them basic commands such as 'sit', 'down', and 'stay'. Start with short and simple training sessions and as your pooch progresses, increase the length and intensity of the sessions.
