“Benji, our 12 year old Silky terrier, stayed with Petopia recently in November when we went for our holiday.

This was actually not the first time that Benji has stayed with Petopia during our holiday trips.

My Benji is a special case as he is a blind dog.

Given that age has caught up with Benji, his sense of smell and hearing have deteriorated over the recent years.

Given his insecure nature now due to his diminished abilities, he no longer can mix around with other dogs.

Furthermore, he has a mild liver condition whereby he can only feed on vet prescribed food and not others.

My previous experiences with other boarding places for Benji often resulted in him coming back with rash all over his body and even diarrhea and the most serious case was when he has to be admitted and be put on drips as his diarrhea had caused him to suffer from dehydration!

When I read about Petopia in the magazines, I made my way down and was very impressed with the professionalism and the friendliness that the staff in Petopia had given me.

I thought why not give it a try since it’s new and they really did convinced me that although Benji is blind and old, there will not be discrimination over his disability and all the care and attention will still be provided.

I was actually right as the day when Benji came back from his stay with Petopia, he did not suffer from any rash or any other illness that he had previously suffered from all those previous boarding places that he had stayed!

Benji came back a very happy dog and always wagging his tail and from his look I can tell that he actually enjoyed his stay with Petopia.

Subsequent stays and grooming sessions will always see him wagging his tail when Richard or his team comes to pick him up.

Thank you Petopia (especially to Richard and his hotel staff) for ensuring that all care and attention is provided even if our fur companion has any disability.

I would definitely not hesitate to recommend Petopia to all my friends with fur companions.

Thank you and with fur regards”

Coreen and Benji


Petopia is the best pet hotel I have come across in Singapore.

“Petopia is the best pet hotel I have come across in Singapore.

When I first visited Petopia to check them out, I was pleasantly surprised to find such a cosy and friendly environment. The staff are helpful and friendly, the place itself is clean and the scent of essential oils covered the usual odour in all other pet hotels.

I remembered someone saying that it is like the “St Regis” in the pet hotel industry. I knew I have found a wonderful place for my two little ones, Toby and Lucky.

During their first stay there about three weeks, they were in good hands and I could even go online to check on them all the time through their webcam. I could see that the two of them were very happy there.

Sometime along this year, both of them caught ticks from our condo premises and we had to put them up at Petopia again while we cleaned up the tick situation at home.

While our regular groomer was too afraid to take them, Marcus and Richard were so helpful in giving me advice on how to handle the tick situation at home and also tending to their tick condition.

Toby and Luck went on to stay at Petopia for two months. Again, I could see that they were very happy at Petopia. Toby has gotten along so well with the staff there that he will run to them even during our visits there.

As for Lucky, who was a very old dog (14-years old) with multiple medical complications and was immobile, we really thanked Marcus for introducing her to the moxibustion treatment.

Through his gentle massages and the treatment, we could see Lucky’s situation improving and how happy she was.

Lucky passed away peacefully during her stay there and once again, we were very thankful to how well Petopia managed the arrangements for her cremation. It took a lot of stress off us and helped us to cope with the departure better too.

In conclusion, I feel that Petopia has really gone beyond our expectations of a regular groomer and pet hotel service provider.

They have demonstrated a great passion for what they are doing and had shown a sincere love for animals in the ways they cared for all the pets in their care.

To customers, they make every effort to keep us informed of our pet’s condition as they really understood our love for our little ones. These details really give us peace of mind when we could not take care of them ourselves. They truly try to understand and meet the needs of the pets in their care and also the pet owners.

Personally, I enjoyed all my visits to Petopia. The staff there are all so warm, so friendly and they have all become like friends to me. I would recommend anyone with pets to send their pets to Petopia as they will be in great hands.”
