For the dogs slowing down or not playing like they used to.
Massage & mobility care for senior dogs so families can enjoy more good days together.
Whether that's a weekend hike, a beach walk, a trip to the local café, or simply joining you on your daily routine, every dog deserves the opportunity to enjoy life comfortably.
Gentle Dog Canine Massage is a dedicated service focused on supporting older dogs as they navigate the changes that come with age. Each session is tailored to help ease physical discomfort, improve mobility, and encourage a sense of calm and wellbeing.
Our intention is to create a peaceful experience where senior dogs feel safe, understood, and physically supported in helping them move more comfortably and enjoy their day-to-day life with greater ease.

ABOUT
Hi, I’m Nicole. The founder of Gentle Dog Canine Massage.
My journey into canine massage began with Lilo, my rescue Bull Terrier. Through her, I saw firsthand how deeply dogs carry stress, discomfort, and change within their bodies, and how much gentle, thoughtful touch can help them feel safe, supported, and more at ease again.
Watching her taught me that ageing, recovery, and mobility changes don’t just affect dogs physically. They affect the little moments families treasure most. This made me want to create a space where dogs could be supported in a way that feels safe, respectful, and individual to them.
That experience shaped the heart of Gentle Dog Canine Massage.
Whether you’re looking for hands-on support or guidance you can continue at home, my goal is to help you better understand your dog and support them in a more connected and mindful way.
Every dog deserves a chance to live their best life, no matter their age. 🐾
What do you find yourself worrying about most when it comes to your dog?
I offer a short call prior to booking to chat about your dog’s needs and help you decide if a consultation would be the right next step. We currently service Melbourne’s inner and surrounding suburbs with dedicated service days allocated to specific areas each week.
Mochi is cheeky like he's 8 again. I've noticed his balance improving and he hasn't slipped in a while. Our friends who see him every week were saying how spritely he looks.

Gentle Dog Canine Massage was fantastic with Clodagh the 13-year-old lurcher. They immediately picked up on her sensitivities and gave her plenty of space to feel comfortable.
The massage was gentle and tailored to her needs, and she clearly relaxed and enjoyed it as the session went on. It was wonderful to see such care and understanding for her well-being. Highly recommend for anyone with a senior or sensitive dog!

Thanks for your time with Mocha! Only after one time, and she's able to climb the stairs this morning!
