Spitz Groom

Spitz Groom is a dog grooming salon at 643 Nicholson Street in Carlton North, in Melbourne's inner north, built around expertise in double-coated and long-coated breeds. It describes itself as a trusted groomer for Spitz breeds in particular, with the kind of coat knowledge that comes from working closely with each dog rather than running them through a fixed package.

The salon is best known for Pomeranians, Japanese Spitz, German Spitz, Keeshonds, Samoyeds and Huskies, while also welcoming curly and clipped breeds such as Poodles and Cavoodles. Every groom is tailored to the individual dog, taking into account breed, coat type, condition and lifestyle. For double-coated breeds the team avoids shaving, relying instead on specialist techniques that support healthy shedding, and for single-coated dogs they offer regular trimming where it suits the coat. The whole approach is fear-free and unhurried: calm, patient, low-stress handling aimed at rebuilding trust for dogs who have found grooming difficult in the past.

Alongside grooming, Spitz Groom offers one-on-one education sessions on brushing, bathing and coat care, microbubble treatments, and a spinning service that turns a dog's fur into a keepsake. There is also an online and in-store boutique stocking coat-care tools and supplies.
