Grooming

Basic grooming includes regular brushing, baths, nail trimming, and cutting the wispy hair around their feet. Some Cav owners choose to keep their pup's coat groomed into a "puppy cut." Cavaliers are especially prone to ear infections, so it is important to keep the inside of their ears clean and dry.

Exercise

Because Cavaliers descended from sporting dogs, they love exercise and outdoor activities. They also have strong hunting instincts, which may give them "selective hearing," so it is important to keep them on the leash in public places.

Health

All breeds have specific health problems they are susceptible to. For the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, this includes eye defects, cardiac mitral valve disease, patella luxation, hip dysplasia, middle ear infections, and syringomyelia. Through proper diet, exercise, and living conditions, you play an important role in helping your puppy grow into a healthy adult. See our health guarantee
