The Ruby Cavalier Has a Tiny Smile and a Chewed Remote

AI imagecavalier king charles spanieltv remoteliving room

A ruby Cavalier named Ruby sits on the rug, with a tiny smile and a shiny, mischievous look in her dark eyes. Her ears fall in glossy waves on both sides of her face, and a chewed TV remote lies at the bottom of the frame, its buttons scratched and a corner broken off. A couch and a green plant fill the background. It is hard to say who looks guiltier, the dog or the remote.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are sweet, loving dogs that like to be wherever their people are. That includes the couch, where the remote usually lives and where the smell of their family is strongest. Young Cavaliers explore the world with their mouths, and a remote is a perfect size to carry around and chew. Providing plenty of chew toys can help redirect the habit.

Remote controls contain batteries that can be very dangerous if swallowed, so any chewed remote with missing pieces is a reason to call your vet or an emergency clinic right away. Keep batteries and small electronics away from pets, and store remotes in a basket or a drawer. Give your dog a favorite toy to carry instead.

Ruby smiles gently as if she is waiting for someone to say well done. It is hard to stay cross at a face that sweet, even if the TV must be changed by hand.
