Is it normal, anyway?!

Yes, it is. Just imagine the situation from the point of view of your Cavalier King Charles. He is part of the family, often treated as “the kid”, and then, suddenly, a new creature arrives and takes all the attention of his beloved family. It is quite similar to what older children feel, when a little brother/sister arrives. One of the differences is just that the dog can’t speak English

Actually, if we are aware of this ‘problem’ in advance, the situation can be handled, but it needs consciousness and to be started in time, long before the baby’s arrival. Let’s see how we can prepare our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for the new family member.

If your dog’s daily routine has to be changed with the baby’s arrival (it probably will), you should start changing the rules much earlier, giving him plenty of time to get used to the new set up. This way it isn’t going to be so sudden and shocking. If your Cavalier hasn’t really been trained before, it’s high time to start. He should learn at least a few commands, like sit, stay, etc. This way, he’ll be easier to handle.

Many families worry about their dog endangering the health of the child, so the best thing to do is to take your pet to the vet, get him checked and get some advice. Get your Cavalier used to the new smells, sounds in advance (blankets, lotions, toys). It’s also a good idea, that just after your baby was born, send home a blanket that the baby had been in, so your dog can experience the child’s smell in advance. It is very important to know that your  Cavalier King Charles will get a lot less attention from the mother, so when taking the baby home for the first time, the mother should greet the dog, so it is better if someone else is carrying the baby.

It is also a good idea not to leave them alone together at the first times, until your Cavalier feels comfortable with the baby, because, for example, it is very possible that the dog won’t tolerate the child’s crying very well in the beginning. You have to teach him that this is a normal sound, and you should motivate him not to bark (with treats, for example).

And the most important rule for last, maybe it seems too obvious, but it’s still worth mentioning: try to give as much attention to your Cavalier as you can. The point is that he has to feel that you do care about him. If you keep this in mind, most probably there will be no problem. You could also try Preparing Fido, which is an amazing collection of Baby sounds designed especially to get your dog ready for the arrival of the new Baby!

Cavaliers or the King Charles Spaniel is a small toy dog that is very popular in the United Kingdom and has been gaining fame in the United states for the past decade. However, one must be aware that this particular breed has an average life span of 10 years and is prone to a serious heart ailment. The leading cause of Cavalier death is a polygenic heart condition known as the Mitral Valve Disease or MVD.

This is when one of four valves in the dog’s heart stops any backflow of blood that is pumped through. As the mitral valve deteriorates, it loses its flexibility and blood pumped in will gush in and out. The valve then folds and inverts causing more blood to get trapped in the other chambers causing the heart to enlarge. When it gets too big, blood flow is stopped and then the dog can expire due to cardiac arrest. It is advised that owners have their dogs monitored by year 1. Medications will help but cannot stop the disease.
