Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

I believe strongly in feeding my dogs a grain-free diet. Dogs are carnivores and the acid in their stomach and the way their bodies are designed they are intended to digest meat just like their ancestors the wolves.

Most dog foods lead you to believe that grain and fiber is good for your canine, but many ingredients found in dog food today contain wheat, corn and/or soy, which are proven to cause allergies.

We feed our adult Cavaliers and puppies over 4 months of age Orijen Adult Dog Food.

We feed 1/3 cup in the mornings and 1/2 cup in the evenings and make adjustments down to 1/3 cup twice a day when we see too much weight.

We feed our puppies under 4 months of age Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Fish Formula

We do NOT feed any type of puppy food. Puppy food is higher in Calcium and Phosphorus and this can often cause bone growth to be faster than muscle mass and this can cause structural problems not related to genetics.

We feed 1/2 cup twice a day to our puppies. Some puppies will be able to eat all their food and some may not be eating all their food in one meal until 15 or 16 weeks of age. I continue to feed 1/2 cup until they are able to eat the entire serving in one feeding.

Nature's Variety Treats for Dogs

* Treats *

We also prefer grain-free treats like the ones listed here.

There are many others to choose from at Petco and PetsMart also.

* Bones *

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels love cow knuckle bones

We also love to treat our Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to knuckle bones. In the above photo collage we have Janie who was a rescue Cavalier we cared for during her transition with Lucky Star until we were able to locate the perfect home for her. Knuckle bones can be found at most specialty pet shops, PetsMart, and Petco and they cost around $4-$7. I do recommend crating your Cavaliers/Dogs if you have multiple dogs as they can often become pretty possessive of their bones and it is just better not to allow them to hash it out on their own. Cavaliers are still canines and their canine instincts can kick in big time when they have a wonderful bone they feel as though they need to protect.
