**WARNING: this video shows distressing footage**

These Cavalier King Charles Spaniels suffered terrible neglect.

When seized by RSPCA inspectors in May 2019, all four dogs were suffering multiple health ailments including severely matted and dreadlocked coats, ear infections, mouth infections and ingrown nails. 

This is the confronting state our inspectors found these cavaliers in – but their story doesn't end here. We prosecuted their owner in court and she was convicted of animal ill-treatment.

Chase, Maggie, Phoebe and Holly have now been rehomed.
