One of our favourite grooming tools in action! ✨

Meet the Untangler Professional Pet Brush with Rotating Teeth (TD906PRO), demonstrated by the gorgeous Yuuki the Japanese Spitz, with a special guest appearance from Penny the Pomeranian. 🐾💖

Unlike traditional pin brushes, the rotating stainless-steel teeth glide through the coat with significantly less pulling, making brushing a gentler and more comfortable experience while helping to lift loose undercoat, dirt and debris. It's one of our go-to tools for maintaining healthy double coats and preventing tangles between grooming appointments.

Want to add one to your grooming kit? Search TD906PRO in our online store and see why it's one of our favourite recommendations. 🛍️

Akiko the Akita Inu enjoying a warm bubble bath on a chilly day. 🫧❄️

She was feeling quite anxious when she arrived, so we let her set the pace of the groom. By the end of her visit, she was happily lying down on the grooming table, relaxed and content. 💖

Did you know? Akita Inu have a dense double coat that naturally insulates them from both cold and heat. Regular bathing, drying and thorough de-shedding help keep the coat healthy so it can continue to do its job properly.

Meet Theo, the newest Airedale Terrier to join the Spitz Groom family, and a dog who has already appointed himself the salon’s resident elder statesman. 🐾

Don’t be fooled by his impressive height or distinguished beard. Theo is a quiet, gentle soul who loves a good cuddle and seems remarkably aware that his size may be a little intimidating to some of our smaller guests.

He moves calmly and carefully around our Carlton North dog grooming salon, giving nervous pups plenty of space and tolerating the younger dogs’ playful antics with the patience of a much older brother. Chaos may unfold around him, but Theo remains completely unbothered, occasionally offering little more than his signature head tilt!

Airedales have a distinctive double coat, with a dense, softer undercoat protected by a hard, wiry outer coat. Airedales are groomed by their coat being clipped or using the traditional hand stripping method.

Hand Stripping is a specialised dog-grooming technique that removes mature, dead outer coat, most commonly by hand, helping preserve the coat’s rich colour and naturally coarse texture. Clipping is a more common and practical choice for many companion Airedales, although repeated clipping can gradually soften the coat and alter its colour and texture.

Hand stripping is a specialist skill that is becoming increasingly difficult to find among Melbourne dog groomers, but Spitz Groom is fortunate to have two groomers trained in the technique. The most suitable grooming method depends on the dog’s coat history, lifestyle, comfort and the owner’s preferred finish.

Whether clipped or hand stripped, most Airedales benefit from professional grooming approximately every eight weeks. At Spitz Groom, every grooming plan is tailored to the individual dog, because their comfort and wellbeing will always come first.

Welcome to the family, Theo. We think your calm presence, excellent manners and magnificent beard make you the perfect gentleman. 💗

A quality groom on a double-coated breed is about far more than simply making the dog look tidy. It begins with thoroughly soaking and hydrating the coat, allowing dead hair fibres, dirt and debris to be released gently without damaging the healthy coat.

The coat is then dried using controlled airflow rather than excessive heat, while being continuously brushed and meticulously combed. This process is repeated until every hair fibre is completely separated, ensuring there are no clumps of coat and no micro-fusion of old, loose hairs.

When this process is performed correctly, the coat becomes naturally glossy, richly textured, well hydrated and healthy. It sits with beautiful buoyancy and movement, allowing the coat to insulate the dog properly while showcasing its natural beauty.
