#13 Brush your Cavalier’s teeth at least two or three times a week to remove tartar and bacteria.
Daily brushing is even better if you want to avoid gingivitis and bad breath.
#14 Trim the nails once or twice a month if your dog doesn’t wear them down naturally.
If you hear the claws clicking on the ground, then they are too long. Short, well-trimmed nails will keep paws in good condition and avoid scratching your legs as the Cavalier happily leaps up to greet you.
#15 Start getting your Cavalier used to being brushed and examined from a young age.
Frequently touch his paws - dogs are sensitive to paws - and check his mouth.
