Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are a loyal, loving, and affectionate breed of dog originating from the United Kingdom. They have become incredibly popular in recent years, due to their wonderful temperaments and beautiful coats. The ideal size for a Cavalier is 13 18 pounds and the height should be 12 13 inches (from the withers to the ground). It is important to note that they can be prone to certain genetic health issues such as Mitral Valve Disease, Syringomyelia, and Cataracts.
Managing allergies with a Cavalier King Charles can be an effective way to reduce the presence and symptoms of allergens. The breed themselves are not hypoallergenic, however, their tendency to have minimal shedding can help limit the amount of allergen-carrying pet hair in a house. Additionally, regular grooming to remove loose fur and avoid over-nurturing, which encourages heavier shedding, can help reduce allergen amounts.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have specific dietary needs as a breed, so it's important to choose a food that meets their specific requirements. As a rule of thumb, look for a high-quality, holistic food that is designed with the size and activity level of your Cavalier King Charles in mind. It should contain mainly animal-based proteins such as chicken, turkey, beef, salmon or pork, as well as healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and essential vitamins and minerals.
Before welcoming your Cavalier King Charles into your home it is important to prepare it for their arrival. Ensure the home environment is safe and comfortable. Clear some space for a pet bed, toys, food, and water bowls. Block off areas of the home that aren't accessible or safe for the pet to roam. Make sure all wires and cords are tucked away and out of reach of the pet. Create a designated outdoor area and check for any holes or areas that could lead to escape or injury.
The size of your Cavalier King Charles puppy will ultimately depend on its breed. On average, an adult male will reach roughly 12-13 inches in height and weigh between 13-18 pounds. Smaller female adults will reach 11-12 inches in height and weigh between 12-17 pounds. However these are just general guidelines. It's possible that your puppy may grow larger or smaller depending on its breed. It's always best to talk to your veterinarian for more precise information about your puppy's size.
Generally speaking, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels do enjoy swimming. This is typically seen as it helps to keep them cool during the summer months. Though swimming may not be their first choice of activity, they tend to do well in the water. Most will take the time to explore a body of water given the chance. As a result, it is a great way to provide these pooches with much needed exercise. Training them to perform basic commands such as fetching a toy is a great way to motivate them to swim on a regular basis.
Absolutely! Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are known for being great family dogs, as they're loyal, gentle, and affectionate. They excel at being part of an active household and thrive on interacting with their owners. Cavaliers make for great companions and are known for their sociable nature as well as their adaptability to other pets in the home. They have been a popular family breed for centuries and they often live long, healthy lives. With moderate exercise needs and gentle temperaments, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are perfect for busy families in search of a loyal and devoted companion.
Training a Cavalier King Charles requires patience and consistency. Start by teaching them basic commands like 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'. Begin by saying the command, rewarding them with a treat when they complete the task. Building up the difficulty of the commands will help them learn faster and reinforce good behavior. You can also focus on teaching them to obey basic house rules like not jumping on furniture or begging for food.
