Relationships can be complicated, but when dogs are involved, things become even more emotional 🐾💔

In our latest Spitz Groom blog piece, we explore a question many pet lovers never expect to face:

When relationships end, who gets the dog?

From legal considerations to emotional wellbeing and what’s truly in the best interests of the dog, this is a thoughtful piece for anyone navigating separation, co-parenting, or simply wanting to understand how deeply pets are woven into our life.

Because dogs aren’t furniture. They’re family.

There is a little-known rule of dog ownership:

If a dog sits in the same chair often enough, it legally becomes theirs.

At least, that's how it appears to work. Every household has one chair that officially belongs to a human but is universally recognised as belonging to the dog.

The evidence is overwhelming.

The blanket is theirs; the cushion is theirs; the prime sunbathing position is theirs.
And if you attempt to sit there while they're sleeping, somehow, you're the problem.

This week, Spitz Groom investigates canine property law, household politics, and why dogs always seem to end up with the best seat in the house. 🪑🐾

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨🚨🚨

The ancient war between Dogs and Vacuum Cleaners continues.

Whether your dog bravely charges into battle, hides behind the nearest human, or somehow manages to bark, retreat, and attack all at the same time, one thing is certain: the vacuum cleaner inspires strong opinions among our furry friends 🐶

But why do so many dogs have such a complicated relationship with this crumb-eating, noisy household monster? And why does it feel strangely similar to how some dogs react to grooming equipment?

In our latest article, we're diving into one of the greatest rivalries (or love stories) in canine history: Dogs vs The Vacuum Cleaner 🐾

Tell us in the comments: Is your dog a Vacuum Hunter, Vacuum Victim, or Vacuum Vigilante? 😂

The Sound of Calm: Why Music Matters at Spitz Groom

At Spitz Groom, every detail of your dog’s experience is intentional, from the way we greet them, to the pace we work at, right down to what they hear while they’re with us.

That’s where music comes in.

We carefully use calming, low-frequency music throughout the salon to help create a peaceful, predictable environment for dogs. Scientific research shows that certain types of music can reduce stress in dogs, helping to lower heart rates, ease anxiety, and support relaxation during grooming.

For nervous pups, rescue dogs learning to trust, or even high-energy dogs who struggle to settle, the right soundscape can make a real difference. It’s part of our commitment to fear-free, force-free grooming, where comfort always comes first.

Because grooming shouldn’t feel overwhelming. It should feel safe, gentle, and calm. 🐶 At Spitz Groom, even the silence has a purpose, but the music helps us turn it into something even better: peace.

At Spitz Groom, this isn’t a trend — it’s the foundation of everything we do.

If you’ve ever wondered what separates a good groomer from a truly great one, this is an important read for every dog owner 🐾💛
