Meet Crumpet 🐾🤍

Our most recent addition to the Spitz Groom family, and honestly…we just can’t get enough of him 😍

Crumpet’s mum told us that whenever she spotted another Sammy at the park or walking down the street, she could tell straight away if they were a Spitz Groom Sammy.

Now that is the kind of reputation we like to hear. 😉

And judging by this ridiculously handsome floof, Crumpet’s mum clearly has excellent taste. 🤣🤍

Welcome to the family, Crumpet. We think you’re going to fit in just fine. 🐾✨

Meet Dutchie, our three-year-old Keeshond and self-appointed Neighbourhood Watch officer. 👀

From his favourite window-side command centre, absolutely nothing escapes Dutchie’s attention, not the neighbours, the passing dogs, the delivery drivers or any suspicious activity along Nicholson Street.

If Dutchie could talk…gurl, the tea he would spill would be NEXT LEVEL. ☕😂

He’s seen things. He knows things. And thankfully, he takes client confidentiality very seriously. 😂

🐾 THE GRINCH FEET HAVE ENTERED SPITZ GROOM IN CARLTON NORTH 💚

Littlefoot would like everyone to know that while the rest of her is looking exceptionally fluffy and fabulous, her feet are currently auditioning for a very different role.

🎄 Grinch: “Christmas is coming. I’m ready.”

🐶 Littlefoot: “I’m ready too. Ready to steal Christmas…and possibly your heart.”

Those gloriously fluffy toes are part of the pre-grooming process, but don’t worry, Littlefoot. We’ve got this.

A little tidy-up, a little paw magic, and those Grinch feet will be back to Spitz Groom standards in no time. ✂️✨

Littlefoot | Professional floof | Part-time Christmas villain

PAWZLER IS BACK…AND WE’VE LEVELLED UP! 🌈🧠🧐🧩

You asked. Your dogs demanded. And we listened.

The PAWZLER Rainbow Set SOLD OUT in just a matter of weeks earlier this year. Clearly, Melbourne’s dogs have been having some very serious conversations about enrichment. 😜

So, our Carlton North Salon is restocked with the Rainbow Set and we have added four new challenges to keep those clever canine brains working!

🐶BEGINNER | Perfect for pups discovering enrichment
🌈RAINBOW | Our sell-out launch set
🧠SMARTY | For dogs ready to level up
🧐GENIUS | A serious challenge for clever problem-solvers
🍭TREAT MAZE | The ultimate Pawzler brain workout

That’s 5 sets. 5 difficulty levels. Endless ways to make treat time more rewarding.
PLUS all Pawzler sets are fully connectable! Each set uses compatible bases, meaning you can mix, match and expand your setup to create bigger, more challenging enrichment puzzles as your dog progresses.

Build it small…or build it BIG. 🧩

Pawzler enrichment helps turn snack time into thinking time, providing mental stimulation, encouraging problem-solving and giving dogs something genuinely satisfying to do.

And because no two dogs are the same, you can choose the level that suits your dog now…then work your way up.

The Pawzler collection has landed at Spitz Groom. Which level 🧠is your dog ready for?

Shop the full range in-store at our Carlton North Boutique or online at Spitz Groom.

Lola was the 💃showgirl💃 in our Carlton North salon today! ✨🐾

Meet Lola, an absolutely gorgeous 8-year-old Japanese Spitz who decided that today was her day to shine. 🤍🌟

With that cloud-like coat, those gorgeous eyes and enough personality to fill the salon, Lola spent the day looking every bit the superstar she knows she is.

Eight years young and still bringing the glamour, the floof and the attitude. 👑☁️

We think Lola deserves her own dressing room…filled with her favourite treats! 😂

Lola, you were fabulous! 💕💃

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. 🛍️
