For Cavalier King Charles over 10 months
An Intelligent And Trustworthy Little Dog
Dynamic and full of zest, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel also adores being petted for hours, making them very soothing and easy to live with. While they adapt happily to life in town, they don’t like to be left alone too long, preferring to be out and about with their owner whenever possible.
The Characteristics Of A Very Popular Little Dog
Big dark eyes, a silky coat, harmonious proportions... the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel attracts everyone’s eye, and charms with their easy nature. As robust as other small dogs, they do however have some special needs.
A Tendency To Weight Gain
A charming pet, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel needs daily exercise to avoid excess weight gain. If they are sterilised, their calorie intake often needs to be reduced by 20 to 30%.
Maxillofacial Morphology
The head of the Cavalier King Charles is flat between the ears without a dome. The 'stop' is shallow. The dog should have a perfect scissor bite with the upper teeth closely overlapping the lower teeth. As the Cavalier King Charles is a small spaniel they can be prone to dental problems.
Watching Out For The Heart
Mitral valve endocardiosis is a cardiac anomaly seen very frequently in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. At an advanced stage, this illness results in cardiac insufficiency, making the dog intolerant to effort.
