A Cavalier King Charles needs a balanced, nutritious diet with higher quality food as they are a smaller breed and are highly susceptible to obesity. It's best to avoid rawhide and very processed treats. A combination of wet and dry food is typically optimal as dry food helps prevent plaque build-up in the teeth and wet food helps to add nutrients. Wet food should be fed in smaller portions and make sure treats are only fed occasionally in moderation as treats can be incredibly high in calories and fat. Make sure the food is not expired, as this could lead to gastrointestinal issues.

The breed is especially prone to a heart disorder known as mitral valve disease, which can have detrimental effects on their long-term health. Therefore, regular check-ups with a Certified Veterinary Cardiologist is recommended in order to detect any signs of the disorder. It is also important to keep up with regular annual check-ups with your veterinarian to ensure your dog is healthy.
