Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Info

Many of these sites are general dog sites...not just for Cavaliers!

Accessories (collars, beds, toys, etc...)

Mrs. Bones Decorative Dog Collars - These have got to be the most beautiful collars I have ever seen!
Up Country Inc. - More gorgeous collars. I've already purchased the B&W toile set for Chester when he gets bigger.
Otis & Claude Fetching Dog Products - Chester has the aqua blue Lucy bowl set.
Trixie & Peanut - I havn't actually bought anything from their store yet, but I would really love to have the very groovy Softspot Bolster bed or the clean & modern Shabby Chic snuggle bed.

BARF Diet (Bones And Raw Food)

Winfield Cavaliers - They feed raw and have a really good overview to feeding a raw diet.

Books

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel In North America by Barbara Garnett-Smith. EXCELLENT book from an excellent breeder in Washington state. Hardback, 176-pages with over 200 photos.
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Today by Sheila Smith. Another excellent and essential book for all Cavalier owners. Hardback, 160-pages.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels: Everything About Purchasing, Care, Nutrition, Behavior, and Training (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) by D. Caroline Coile. This is the first book I bought and it's pretty good but not as detailed at the hardback titles I've listed.

Diet/Health

Dog Food Reviews - Excellent site giving detailed info on the ingredients of 100's of dry and canned dog food and rating them from 1 to 6 stars (6 being the most wholesome and natural). I was very happy to find out that all of Chester's fav foods are all 4 and 5 star picks: Canidae, California Natural, Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul, Natural Balance, Wellness and Merrick.

As adoring as they were adored, these gentle, lively little dogs served their masters with all the loyalty demanded of a royal subject."
