Lyka is honestly so easy
“With home cooking, I was overfeeding him. Cavaliers just want to eat all day! The tip to leave a little bit in the pouch to use as a treat during the day is the best. I know that if he has this pouch of food per day he will be kept at a healthy weight.”

Your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel FAQs answered
How much food should a Cavalier eat?
Lyka’s meals are custom portioned to provide the right daily nutrition and calories without risking weight gain. Each meal contains high-quality proteins, dietary fibre from fresh produce, and a low glycaemic load to maintain steady energy levels and support your Spaniel’s feelings of fullness.
What’s the best puppy food for a Cavalier?
Puppies need food containing the right amount of nutrients to support their growth at a healthy rate. Puppies don’t need special puppy food if their diet is already nutrient-rich and contains an appropriate amount and balance of calcium and phosphorus, making Lyka the ideal food.
Lyka meals are portioned to suit your Cavalier puppy’s growth milestones, so they get the right nutrients for their age.
What’s the best diet for a Cavalier with joint conditions?
Nutrition plays a crucial role in managing joint conditions in Cavaliers by providing joint-supporting nutrients and reducing inflammation. Lyka meals are formulated with omega-3 fatty acids to support joints and improve mobility.
Arthritis and joint issues are often affected by excess weight or obesity. Maintaining your dog’s healthy weight can alleviate pressure on their joints. Lyka custom-portioned meals can support your dog’s weight management without compromising on nutrition, taste, or satiety.
Mussel Munchies and Lamb Straws from our treat range contain sources of glucosamine or chondroitin, great for joint and cartilage health.
