About Us
Hi, I'm Eliana and I have a genuine love and interest in helping animals live their life to the fullest, and ensuring they are comfortable and pain free as they age.
I developed a strong interest in canine rehabilitation when my senior Border Collie cross Kelpie, became quite ill at the age of 17. During this time there was little support available for her, so I began to research ways that I could help her mobility and became a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist through the Canine Health & Wellbeing Academy.
I am currently undertaking studies to further my knowledge and skills within the veterinary and animal rehabilitation sector.
I currently have two pampered Greyhounds Alexia and Naxios, who are my world. I enjoy spending time with them and seeing the look of delight on their faces when they know they are about to be pampered with a massage.
Why Remedial Massage?
Remedial canine massage has a range of benefits for your dog including assisting with:
- Recovery after an injury
- Easing joint pain
- Arthritic pain and mobility support
- Assisting with flexibility
- Emotional wellbeing, stress, anxiety and depression
- Circulation
- Releasing muscle tension, knots and tightness
- Overall comfort
How Does Remedial Massage Work?
Remedial Canine Massage works by applying a range of gentle strokes, techniques and pressure to various muscles, soft tissues, bones and pressure points found within a dog's body.
Our techniques enable us to offer surface massage as well as deeper tissue massage.
Each dog is viewed as an individual and a careful assessment is taken of each dog and their discomfort, pain, injuries and anxieties.
As such our pampering, approach and methods vary for each dog.
What Occurs During A Session?
Our session begins with an initial assessment and a 'get to know you' session.
Prior to conducting a massage session, we ensure that we speak to the humans to ensure that we have a good understanding and awareness of their needs and desired goals and outcomes as well as the dogs needs and habits so that a well-rounded holistic approach is taken.
We spend some time allowing the dog to get to know us, watch them walk, lay and stand; this helps us identify if they are weight baring, favoring a limb, struggling to get up or down or appear to have any pain.
We then gently begin with a light, surface massage that looks and feels like a pat; this helps us identify any differences between the left and right sides of the body.

Stella clearly loved the gentle massage on her back legs after the walk ! Thank you -Eliana and now I know how I can I help her with that tightness on her R thigh - that you identified before the walk !
Eliana was very respectful of each dogs personal boundaries and ensured each dog had the best time possible. They had been lightly assessed for arthritis in the past. However, I wanted the most accurate assessment for them possible as they are in their senior years. With our boy, it's a challenge to receive any kind of assessment as he is incredibly reactive. He can't be touched by others. Fortunately, through our training, Eliana was able to instruct me what to do so she could work her magic. You don't know how grateful I am that this service is out there for all dogs but mostly dogs like our boy. Now we know the intensity of his condition, which can be managed. Our girls absolutely loved their massage! It was great to learn where their arthritis was specifically located and that fortunately it's not that bad. The look on Misty's face when the stress off her shoulder was relieved was priceless. Thank you so much Eliana for providing a brilliant service!
Stella had a really lovely relaxing massage yesterday here at home thanks to Eliana Vogiatzis from Pawfect Canine Pampering. Stella was a bit unsure about what was happening for the first five minutes but then she relaxed right into it and was able to communicate with Eliana and let her know which parts might be a bit tender and which parts were bliss . It was all very interesting and Stella topped it off by stealing the kangaroo treats that Eliana had bought . Stole them all while I was saying goodbye. Today Stella walked freely and easily , trotting along happily and comfortably . She is looking forward to seeing Eliana again !
She loved hers
Thank you again to Eliana for the dogs massages. I'm sure we have the most spoilt dog walking group ever.
