The Balanced Canine – Natural Health & Wellbeing

Founded by Marita Tilley, The Balanced Canine group is THCKCS’s first community for dogs of all breeds, ages, and backgrounds, where pet parents can come together to share knowledge, research, and tips on supporting their dogs’ health and wellness naturally. We are dedicated to promoting holistic, science-backed approaches that empower you to provide the best care for your dog at every life stage.

As a natural progression from The Healthy Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Group, which started in 2015 and became one of Facebook’s largest breed-specific health communities, The Balanced Canine offers a space for all dog lovers seeking to enhance their pets’ health through nutrition, preventative care, and positive training methods.

Whether your dog is young or senior, small or large, this group aims to be an inclusive and supportive resource for natural wellness practices, from fresh food diets to holistic therapies and everything in between.

This page has been created so that we can share all our ideas on keeping our Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in the best health possible naturally.

We fully understand that some dogs are on prescription medicines, but we hope you will find this natural page of interest to you!

This group is for members to share as many pictures as you want to of your cavaliers, and all your happy day to day events including birthday celebrations for your dogs. You may also share your bereavement posts in this group.We have a specialised group for pet losses as well, called Forget Me Not Cavaliers which you may wish to join.

Lots of members on the Healthy Cavalier King Charles page love to home cook for the fur babies... We thought having a page where we can share treat recipes and help members to achieve a balanced and healthy home cooked diet would be really helpful. Sharing advice and guidance from experts on balanced core meals and sharing tips from our own experience.

This group originally came about because a couple of members on our Healthy Group asked about raw feeding. We started off having an inbox messaging service that we called “Raw Feeding Buddies” as Buddies grew it became very difficult to keep up with messages, and many were getting missed….so Raw Fed Healthy Cavs was born.

We have very few rules but those we have we do stick to. This is primarily a Raw Feeding Group.
