About Crackin Dog Grooming
La Casa De Pooch Melbourne (formerly Crackin Dog Grooming) is a boutique dog grooming salon on Union Road in Ascot Vale, in Melbourne's Moonee Valley. It treats grooming as a craft rather than a quick clean-up, building its service around stylish hand scissoring and breed-specific finishing.
The salon's own framing leans into a warm, family-run feel where dogs are looked after as part of an extended family and the focus stays on a calm, pampering experience. Treatments range from a full Style Groom with Asian Fusion or breed-standard styling through to easier-to-maintain teddy-face cuts, freshen-up baths and dedicated de-shedding work for double-coated dogs. Pricing is assessed per dog, taking coat condition, length, behaviour and weight into account, and add-ons like nail care, ear cleaning and teeth services are available alongside the main grooms.
For Ascot Vale owners wanting a hands-on, styling-led groom rather than a conveyor-belt wash, it pitches itself as a salon where the detail matters.
