About Spitz Groom

Specialist care for double-coated breeds—with expert, compassionate grooming for all coat types.

Spitz Groom operates from our beautiful little salon at 643 Nicholson Street, Carlton North, Victoria.

While we’re best known for our expertise in double-coated and long-coated breeds—especially those in the Spitz family (Pomeranians, Japanese Spitz, German Spitz, Keeshonds, Samoyeds, Huskies)—we warmly welcome dogs of all coat types, including curly and clipped breeds such as Poodles, Cavoodles, and more.

✂️ Our grooming philosophy

We take a tailored approach to every dog in our care, respecting their breed, coat type, and individual needs.

• For double-coated breeds, we avoid shaving as this can irreversibly damage the coat and interfere with temperature regulation. Instead, we use techniques that preserve coat integrity and promote healthy shedding.

• For single-coated breeds (like Poodles and other curly or clipped coats), regular trimming or shaving is not only safe but often essential for coat and skin health.

No matter the coat type, we never rush or cut corners—we simply do what’s best for your dog.

🧡 A gentle, fear-free approach

Many dogs have had negative grooming experiences in the past. At Spitz Groom, we’re committed to creating a calm, patient, and low-stress environment. We work at your dog’s pace, using gentle handling and positive reinforcement to build trust and comfort over time. 

📚 Empowering owners

We believe coat care is a partnership. That’s why we provide education on how to maintain your dog’s coat between grooms, offer curated grooming tools and products, and even run one-on-one training sessions for owners who want to dive deeper into brushing, bathing, and more.

🌱 Constant learning and innovation

Our team is continually expanding our knowledge, investing in new tools, and refining our techniques to stay at the forefront of holistic, ethical dog grooming.
