Questions & Answers
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, commonly referred to as "Cavaliers", are a loyal breed of small spaniel that have been popular pets in Europe since the early 18th century. They have a long, silky and wavy coat, and a loving, loyal, and affectionate temperament that makes them perfect for families. Cavaliers are surprisingly active and can become easily attached to their owners and make an excellent companion animal. Grooming is often necessary to maintain their coat and health, as well as regular brushing and clipping, as their coat can become matted easily.
Although the Cavalier King Charles is not a hypoallergenic breed, they do have a low occurrence of shedding which may make them easier for people with allergies to tolerate or live with. They have a low dander production which is beneficial for people suffering from allergies. The breed is considered to have a low to moderate shedding coat meaning that grooming can help reduce the volume of shedding in the house. Regular bathing and brushing will help remove dead fur which can be a problem for allergy sufferers.
Finding the right food for your Cavalier King Charles is important because of the breed's sensitivity to certain ingredients. What's best for your pup depends on their size, level of activity, and any existing health conditions. For instance, Cavalier King Charles can benefit from a high-quality kibble with a balanced formula of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. It should also contain designer ingredients like probiotics, omega 3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. You should also look for a formula specifically designed for the dietary needs of small breed dogs like yours.
Before bringing your new Cavalier King Charles into your home, it is important to make sure you have all the necessary supplies for its comfort and safety, such as a water and food bowl, a bed or crate, and toys. You should also take the time to puppy-proof your home, blocking off any places your Cavalier could get stuck or injured like stairwells. Make sure small objects like smaller toys can't be swallowed or chewed. Lastly, ensure that any plants inside your home are non-toxic to avoid accidental ingestion.
The size of your Cavalier King Charles puppy will depend on its gender. Male Cavaliers can range from 12-13 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 13-18 pounds. Female Cavaliers will range from 12-13 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 9-15 pounds. Depending on the parents, some Cavaliers may grow larger or smaller than the average range. Nutrition and exercise also play a large role in how much your puppy will grow.
The amount of daily exercise that is appropriate for your Cavalier King Charles will vary based on their age, size, health, and breed characteristics, but a good rule of thumb is a minimum of 30 minutes of walking daily. Keeping it consistent and engaging, though, is key for both mental and physical health. A leisurely walk with added playtime, such as a game of fetch, as well as a chance to interact with other dogs can be a great way to provide your pup with exercise and the mental stimulation they need.
Cavaliers King Charles have long been recognized as a very kid-friendly breed. With their outgoing and energetic personalities, they are often very patient and gentle. Known for being very affectionate and loyal, they are considered very easy to train and get along well with children of all ages. They are also a low-maintenance breed with just the right amount of energy for active playtime that children love and they require little to no grooming. Because of their obedience and intelligence, they also can be easily taught to perform tricks for quality family fun.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are certainly intelligent and eager to learn, possessing an impressive memory for commands and instructions. Although they vary from individual to individual, these friendly, sociable pooches are generally quite smart in comparison to other dog breeds. Training and housebreaking are relatively easy, especially when beginning at an early age. They are also sensitive to their owners' moods, making them not only loyal, but responsive. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels often excel in a variety of dog sports, such as agility, Flyball, and obedience.
