CavaMalt
Cavamalts (10-20 pounds) are charming, affectionate, and gentle, blending the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Maltese lineage, making them delightful companions for individuals or families. They’re kid-friendly with gentle older children but fragile for rough play with toddlers, requiring supervision. Moderate exercise (30-60 minutes daily of walks or indoor play) suits their small size; their silky, wavy coat needs frequent brushing and occasional trimming to prevent tangles.
Feed 0.5-1 cup daily of Royal Canin X-Small Adult Dry Dog Food, with 24% protein for energy and coat health, adjusting portions to avoid obesity. Primarily indoor dogs, they adapt well to apartments but are sensitive to cold, thriving in warm, cozy environments.
Training enhances their sociability and curbs barking. Ideal for allergy-conscious owners seeking a low-shedding, hypoallergenic pet, Cavamalts flourish with attentive care, not for high-energy or outdoor-heavy homes.
