About Happy Paw Ark
About Happy Paw Ark
Happy Paw Ark is a pet grooming provider based at MacPherson Road, Singapore 368170, serving clients islandwide. The business is KakiList-verified and registered with ACRA, offering a degree of confidence for pet owners seeking a groomer. It carries a Google rating of 4.6 out of 5 across 56 reviews — a moderate sample that provides a reasonable directional signal. Pricing is positioned at the mid-range ($$) bracket, though specific grooming rates should be confirmed directly with the provider.
When enquiring, it helps to have your pet's size, breed, and coat type ready, as these factors typically influence the grooming package and duration. Temperament is equally important — let the team know in advance if your pet is anxious around strangers or other animals, so they can prepare accordingly. Ask whether Happy Paw Ark accepts walk-ins or works by appointment, and whether they offer a trial visit so your pet can acclimatise to the environment before a full groom. Confirm whether the service is drop-off at their MacPherson Road location or whether mobile grooming is available for your area, and discuss how often recurring sessions would suit your pet's coat maintenance needs.
To get started, reach out to Happy Paw Ark via WhatsApp, phone, or their online enquiry form with your pet's details — breed, size, and any specific grooming requests — and arrange a convenient appointment time.

My Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie), Almond, has been attending training at Happy Paw Ark at least once a week, and the experience has been fantastic. Given the natural herding instincts of the breed, I was looking for a place that truly understands their temperament. The mix of indoor and outdoor training has been incredibly effective in helping Almond socialize well with other dogs and remain calm in public areas. A huge shoutout to Trainers Jerald, Pat and Jackson—they are extremely patient and knowledgeable. There are several instance where we had to engage their pick up and drop off service and the trainers were very accomodating. Almond genuinely enjoys going back every week! Highly recommend Happy Paw Ark for anyone looking for dedicated and professional trainers.

We enrolled Totti in a 20-lesson course at Happy Paw Ark to help him navigate his adolescent phase, and the progress has been remarkable. Totti is now much better at regulating his emotions and has improved on loose-leash walking. He is more attentive and behaves better in various environments but its still a working process. The team’s approach of taking the dogs on adventures throughout Singapore is fantastic. Receiving regular photo updates of Totti’s explorations made us feel involved and reassured that he was in great hands. For those with puppies transitioning into adulthood, Happy Paw Ark is an excellent choice for developing a disciplined and confident dog.

Bebe has been part of the Happy Paw Ark family for over four years, and his excitement never fades. Every single time a team member arrives for a day trip, he is absolutely bursting with joy. To us, Happy Paw Ark is so much more than a daycare—it’s Bebe’s second home. It’s a place where he gets to 'chitchat' with his best friends and burn off all that signature energy! A huge thank you to Pat, Jackson, and Jerald; they are truly the best at what they do. We especially appreciate the extra love and special attention they give Bebe whenever he isn't feeling his best. We couldn’t ask for better care. Thank you 😘

Happy Paw ARK's lovely team Pat, Jerald, JS has taken great care of my furkid, Skye, for many years. The team is caring and reliable, truly treating him like family. The regular photos and videos let me see him grow up and capture so many beautiful memories. It says a lot that Skye always looks forward to being picked up. Highly recommended to any paw parent looking for a place that genuinely cares

Our highly neurotic Louie LOVED his Happy Paw Ark days. He fell in love with the staff and couldn’t wait to hop in the van on pick up days. His outings with Happy Paw Ark gave him a ton of stimulation and socialization and helped him be much more relaxed and calm on the days he spent with us at home. We also entrusted his care to Happy Paw Ark multiple times while on vacation. We were able to really relax knowing he was in such good hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Happy Paw Ark charge?›
Grooming prices in Singapore typically vary by pet size, breed, and coat condition. For dogs, a basic groom (bath, blow-dry, trim, and nail clip) generally starts from around S$50–S$80 for small breeds, S$80–S$130 for medium breeds, and S$130–S$200 or more for large or double-coated breeds. Cats are priced separately and may carry a handling surcharge depending on temperament. Add-ons such as de-shedding treatments, teeth brushing, ear cleaning, and paw balm are usually charged separately. If Happy Paw Ark offers mobile grooming in addition to their MacPherson Road location, a transport fee may apply. Confirm the full price breakdown — including any surcharges for matted coats or difficult temperaments — before the appointment. See the full pet grooming cost guide for Singapore →
What vaccinations does Happy Paw Ark require?›
Most grooming providers in Singapore require up-to-date vaccination records before accepting a pet for service, particularly where animals may come into contact with others on the premises. For dogs, the standard requirement is the DHPP combination vaccine (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza) along with rabies vaccination. Bordetella (kennel cough) is frequently required at grooming salons and is strongly recommended even where not mandatory. For cats, the FVRCP vaccine (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia) is the typical baseline. Vaccination records should generally be current within the past 12 months. Bring your pet's vaccination booklet or a vet-issued certificate to your appointment. Contact Happy Paw Ark directly to confirm their specific vaccination policy before your visit.
Is Happy Paw Ark licensed and insured?›
Happy Paw Ark is registered with ACRA and has been verified by KakiList, meaning operating details and contact channels have been independently confirmed. In Singapore, grooming-only establishments are not required to hold an Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) licence — AVS licensing applies primarily to boarding facilities and pet shops — so the absence of a listed AVS licence does not in itself indicate non-compliance for a grooming-focused provider. That said, it is reasonable to ask Happy Paw Ark directly whether they carry professional liability or pet care insurance to cover any incidents — such as an accidental nick, an adverse reaction, or an injury — that may occur during a session. Visit the facility, check the vaccination policy, and confirm insurance before drop-off.
