You can try this as one of the solution if you do not want to specify the dimension for width and height of Image
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:id="@+id/cvAdvertFavourite"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="2dip"
android:layout_marginBottom="2dip"
card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="8dp"
>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/ivCardFavouriteAnimalPhoto"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:weight = "2"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:weight = "1" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvCardFavouriteTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:textSize="20sp"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvCardFavouriteRace"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/tvCardFavouriteTitle"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvCardFavouritePrice"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/tvCardFavouriteRace"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
In this I have used LinearLayout which will distribute the screen width in the ratio 2:1 between ImageView and RelativeLayout with text.
Also I have reduced the size of text from 30sp to 20sp
solved Card layout parameters not working
