Testimonials

Are you looking for someone who can help your furry child with pain, stress, anxiety and so much more or wanting to offer them some muscle relaxation, then look no further then Balanced Dogs. Jelena is an absolute professional holistic therapist and that person when you first meet feels like you have known them forever. Jelena treated my beautiful boy with regular massages and trigger point therapy and he was more relaxed and happy each time she worked on him. For all that know me will know that I wouldn't let just anyone work on my boy. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Don't hesitate to contact Jelena at Balanced Dogs for more information on what she can do for your pet.

Thank you so much for everything dear Jelena! Not only for helping my dog making such a great recovery from cruciate ligament surgery with acupuncture and massage therapy treatments, but for helping me and guiding me through every step of this journey. You are truly a remarkable person and highly professional acupuncturist and dog massage therapist, that's a gift no money can ever buy.

Thank you so much Jelena, picture says it all! He absolutely loved his massage and acupuncture treatment and there was an immediate improvement after only the first session, amazing! I am so happy there are natural therapies like acupuncture and physical therapy that can help his severe arthritis with pain management and mobility issues. Looking forward to the next session!

Thanks Jelena for meeting Lucy and Button today. Dog massage seems to work very well for Lucy’s anxiety issue as she is so much calmer after your treatment today. It was great to see you and we are looking forward to your next visit! Great work!

Jelena has been treating our previously medicated Staffy X for his anxiety issues, through dog massage and acupuncture. Lenny can be a bit scared when the needles come out however, this is never an issue with Jelena and she spends time building up his trust. We are seeing better results in natural therapy treatments than what we saw on medication and couldn't be happier. We will recommend Balanced Dogs acupuncture and massage to our family and friends.

Jelena has been treating Bailey, my 20 year old cat, for a couple of months now with acupuncture and physical therapy. After a year of being quite slow due to his arthritis and ageing he is now doing sprints around the house again!! Jelena takes the time to connect with Bailey and he not only tolerates but LOVES the hour of massage and acupuncture. This has been a life changer for him. I’d strongly recommend every pet to get this kind of treatment as they age to maintain their quality of life. Cannot thank Jelena enough.

Many thanks Jelena for your acupuncture and massage treatments, Bess is doing so well and being looked after so well by Balanced Dogs. She seems to cope better with her bad arthritis and is moving better and easier after her treatments. She has even climbed the stairs after her walk today which she has been hesitant to do for years! Thank you for all your loving care of Bess.

I have a 16 year old dog who’s been suffering from chronic arthritis and kidney disease. I’ve tried 4 different acupuncturists before meeting Jelena but none of them is as good as her. Jelena genuinely cares for her clients and their pets and always pays attention to their needs. My dog has been under her care for about a month and I see certain improvements on his health. Not like other acupuncturists I met in the past, she can work on various areas for different health issues. I truly believe my dog wouldn’t be where he’s now if he wasn’t treated by Jelena. If anyone who’s looking for an acupuncturist for their pets, I personally guarantee you, Jelena is the one that you can trust.

I would highly recommend Balanced Dogs acupuncture and massage services. Jelena has treated my Rotty few years back and now my staff X French who has been diagnosed with a luxating patella and vet advised surgery. I contacted Balanced Dogs straight away and Jelena worked her magic and acupuncture/massage skills on my dog, she has no longer mobility issue, limping is gone and she doesn’t need an operation any more. Jelena is highly professional and qualified acupuncturist and canine myofunctional therapist and so gentle with your furry kids. Do not hesitate to contact her first, before putting your dog under the knife.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jelena early this year and she is one of the most beautiful and caring people I have ever met. I have complete confidence in her professionalism and her true love and understanding of animals. It has been such a relief for me to find someone who shares and understands my total dedication to the best quality of life for my dogs and Jelena with her skills in acupuncture and massage has played a big part in managing this. I have no hesitation in recommending Jelena to anyone who wishes to keep their animals happy and healthy for as long as they possibly can.

Thank you Jelena for your work with Jackson. After the first treatment we saw instant results. Jackson has become confident in using his leg after crucial ligament surgery and we are so happy to see him healing so quickly. He surely looks forward to his time with you and the lovely massage! Your gentle approach and warm nature has definitely assisted Jackson in feeling so comfortable with his treatment. Thank you!

Hi Jelena, I had Bailey playing with me yesterday like he did in his younger years! It was great to experience again, brought a tear to my eye. Thank you!

Jelena is very good professional therapist for my dog and has helped with her hind leg injury after being hit by a cyclist. She has also helped my dog with her incontinence with her knowledge on acupuncture points to reduce it and also improved her kidney deficiency issues with acupuncture and herbal recommendation. My dog at 10 years of age is much more puppy-like from Jelena’s therapy and just loooooves when she comes to visit for her treatment! Highly recommended!

My staffy Kaia needed to improve her flexibility as part of an agility conditioning program. I found Jelena and we did weekly massage and acupuncture treatments which made an immediate improvement and a huge difference overall. Jelena's background as a vet allowed her to take a holistic approach which built my trust as a client from the first meeting. She was very flexible with visiting our home at times that suited me and also with adapting her approach to suit Kaia who was always too excited to see her to sit still. I highly recommend Jelena to owners of all active dogs and Kaia highly recommends her to any doggo who is looking for love, cuddles and a few sneaky treats!
