We are Athina and Alexandra and we have been friends since school, a bond that lasts over 20 years. But our love for animals goes even further back. Dogs, cats, parrots, turtles, ducks, you name it, we’ve cared for them. This project is the natural evolution of that lifelong connection to animals and a shared desire to create something meaningful and lasting.
Kyra Physio Pet is more than a shop. It’s a wellness-focused space for dogs and other small animals, born from the complementary skills and passions of two longtime friends. The name KYRA came instinctively, in honor and memory of a beloved dog who inspired us to pursue this dream.
Some animals simply need extra care: whether they’re recovering from surgery, dealing with age-related issues, or managing chronic pain. Our goal is to help them recover, regain mobility, feel better, and re-learn healthy behaviors through training, that support their new needs so they can enjoy life to the fullest, safely and comfortably.

❝Hi, I’m Athina,
and ever since completing my degree in Physiotherapy, I’ve dedicated my life to helping people find relief from pain and rediscover their comfort and balance.
But my heart has always belonged to animals. I’ve been a pet mom for as long as I can remember. Today, I'm the mom of twelve (yes, 12) wonderful furry companions 🐶 😻, and I’ve always shared a special bond with them. I can sense their emotions, their needs, their silent way of speaking to us.
In recent years, I realized how deeply our pets can benefit from the same care and attention we offer humans. That realization led me to continue my studies and specialize in animal physiotherapy,.
My philosophy in life is that we are companions on this journey through the world alongside animals and nature, and my purpose in life is to help all animals. I thank Kyra and Carlos for showing me that 🐕🌈❞

❝ Hi, I’m Alexandra.,
and, after spending most of my adult life in France working for international companies 🏢 in fields like language learning, client insights, and data analysis, I realized I wanted to do something more meaningful, something that truly made a difference, and reflected who I am.
Driven by my love for animals, I decided to change direction (flying back to Greece ✈️ ) and dedicate myself to understanding and helping our little furry friends. I completed my studies in canine psychology and behavior, earning my diploma in canine training 🐕 and began a new journey centered on care, respect, and trust.
This is what I was meant to do: help every dog and every pet live their happiest, healthiest life, and to support their humans along the way :)❞
