🐶🦷 Did you know? Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs — and it often goes unnoticed.

Here are some eye-opening stats:

Over 80% of dogs older than 3 years show signs of periodontal disease.

Some sources put it even higher — 80–90% of dogs over 3 have some component of dental disease.

By age 10, virtually 100% of dogs display periodontal issues.

What you can do:

✅ Start daily brushing using a dog-safe toothpaste
✅ Provide dental chews / toys that help reduce plaque
✅ Get regular vet checkups + professional cleanings
✅ Pay extra attention to small breeds and senior dogs, as they tend to be higher risk

Virbac veggiedent dental sticks are now in-store and we also have organic locally made toothpaste. Dental water is coming soon!

We are excited to be participating in the local celebration of Halloween again this year!

Drop by from 4pm - 6pm to grab some free treats - both for yourselves (flesh-children encouraged) and your pups!

Bring the kids and walk the strip for 'tricks' or 'treats' - most of the traders in our strip will be participating in the festivities and it's historically been a lot of fun and it seems to get better every year!

Thank you to for all of your efforts and support in making this happen as it's really something we have grown to look forward to ❣️

🐾 New arrival alert! Meet Coralpina Cinquetorri — harnesses you (and your double-coated pup) will love.

We’re thrilled to launch a gorgeous new product range into our store: the Coralpina Cinquetorri harnesses (in both Mini & Classic lines). After months of testing, we can honestly say this harness is one we can really stand by—especially for dogs with thick, double coats.

---

🌟 What makes Cinquetorri special

Hand-crafted in Italy from premium eco-materials — soft, breathable, and durable.

Comfort for double coats — smooth seams and wide straps reduce coat breakage and matting (we’ve never seen armpit knots with these).

Lightweight, yet tough — abrasion-resistant, machine-washable, and built to last.

Adjustable & ergonomic fit — quick to put on, designed to allow full movement.

Safety first — reflective edging for visibility on evening walks.

---

🐶 Tried & tested

Our little mascot Penny (Pomeranian) has been wearing hers for over 6 months with zero coat damage.

Clients who already own one report the same: soft, secure, and no tangles in sensitive areas.

---

🎨 Sizing & breeds

Available from Mini (for teeny tiny pups) up to Classic (fitting dogs up to ~18 kg).

Perfect for Pomeranians, Japanese Spitz, Keeshonds, Shibas, and other small to medium double-coated breeds.

While we recommend slip leads for dogs over 10 kg for handling and training, we know how fond many owners are of harnesses — so we’re offering Cinquetorri as a trusted, coat-friendly choice.

---

🛍️ Colours & extras

We’ve stocked a wide range of colours in store already.

Matching leads and poo bag holders are also part of the Cinquetorri collection, as are larger sizes — we’ll expand the line further based on your feedback.

If you’ve been searching for a harness that doesn’t wreck your dog’s coat, this is the one. Drop in to see the range and let your pup try one on — you’ll feel the difference instantly.

Thank you so much to for taking care of my beloved Auska and returning him back home today.

I chose a few special pieces which will help to keep him close to me always. Next to choose a picture for his new 'kennel', and then to find a tattoo artist to have his paw print inked on me permanently ❣️

I miss you dear Auska, and so do your sisters. We will do great things in your paw prints 💕

Thank you all so much for the love, compassion, and understanding you’ve shown me — and for the thoughtful gifts and cards — during this incredibly difficult time. 🌸

The fog of grief has finally started to lift, and I’m back at work doing what I love. I’m slowly making my way through messages, so if you haven’t heard back from me yet, you will soon.

In those deepest days of grief, I realised something powerful: Spitz Groom was always for Auska. For a while, I questioned the point of it all without him. But with time and perspective, I’ve come to see that this work is his gift to all dogs. Even though he’s no longer here in the physical sense, my purpose is to continue the work we started together.

On my first day back, every single one of my clients was an anxious little bean — the kind of dogs who need that extra patience and care that most salons can’t offer. In those moments, I knew in my heart: I’m on the right track. We’re doing the right thing.

Last Tuesday, my life upended as we said goodbye to our treasured Auska. My heart is shattered, but today I left the house for the first time since his passing, and I wanted to share a little about my beautiful boy and the legacy he’s left. 💔

In 2011, Auska came into my life—prescribed by a specialist, of all things. My world back then had too much stress, not enough purpose, and somehow, a little black fluff ball was exactly what I needed, even though I was quite fearful of dogs (hard to believe now!).

Despite his boundless energy, Auska was the embodiment of a sloth—perfectly happy to spend entire days curled up with me, napping or keeping quiet company. And no matter how many health battles he faced—and there were many—he tackled every challenge with that same joyful heart.

He was the reason I learned about obedience, dog sports, and grooming—the reason I became a registered breeder, professional groomer, and a passionate educator. Through Auska, I’ve been able to help thousands of dogs and their people, and in so many ways, help myself too.

He was my first “Pringle,” my little soul dog, and the reason I wanted to change this industry—to make it more compassionate and accommodating for physically less-abled and anxious pups like him.

There will never be enough words to thank him for the 14 years of loyalty, laughter, and love he gave so freely. My world feels so quiet without his happy little dance, his “soot sprite” energy, and his need to always be by my side.

Run free, my darling boy. You were my once-in-a-lifetime. 🌈🖤

Thank you to all of my clients for understanding my need to take some time to grieve. And my deepest gratitude to Jess , Steph , and the team at for the incredible care you showed Auska—and us—until his final breaths.

Seems Eva was getting a little FOMO with Penny getting to do therapy dog work, so she asked her dad if he would do it with her too as I'm a bit too strapped for time myself... Today they were assessed and passed with flying colours! Eva was already certified directly with Dogs Victoria, but St Vincent's operate an independent certification system.

So proud of my hubby and our beautiful therapy dog team 🥰🥰🥰

Our Story

Spitz Groom is a part time business operating independently from "Pet Art" located in Fitzroy North, Victoria.

We offer specialist grooming services for double coated breeds with a particular interest in Spitz breeds. Pomeranian, Japanese Spitz, German Spitz, Keeshond, Samoyed and Husky are among the most common Spitz breeds. They are typically characterised by pointed ears, a curled tail, and a profuse coat.

Many groomers recommend shaving the coats and/or they use inappropriate stripping tools which damage the coat. At Spitz Groom, our philosophy is to avoid shaving at all costs, and instead we much prefer to take the time to work through any issues with the coat without the need to shave the coat (assuming this is not distressing for the dog).
