Petopia ~ Singapore's Finest Pet Hotel, Salon and Spa Centre

From top-grade nutritional and holistic pet-care products, fine styling to tailored spa treatments and quality hotel & daycare services, discerning pet owners can expect to be spoilt for choice at Petopia. Comparable in standards to leading human spas and pet centres around the world, integrated pet wellness centre Petopia has redefined

pet-care in Singapore with its holistic, transparent and accountable approach, together with its suite of state of the art equipment. In affirming its commitment to provide the finest and most revolutionary pet-care services available, Petopia has introduced many firsts in Singapore and even in the region, since its opening in 2010.

♡ Japanese Style Grooming ♡

Helmed by a skilful and award-winning Japanese stylist from Tokyo, fur parents can have their animal companions transformed with trendy styles from Tokyo, creative makeovers and adorned with stylish hair extensions, accessories and even nail capping. Our salon adopts a open concept and uses state of the art, holistic, safe and sanitised equipment and material to provide quality grooming for our guests. Each stylist is only allocated 4 - 5 styling guests (depending on breed size and complexity) each day with no rush, frazzle and stress so you can rest assured your animal companion will receive undivided attention from our stylist with ample time to create unique looks.

♡ Spa & Healing Technology from Japan ♡

Petopia is the only pet service centre in the region to have a nanobubble bath machine imported from Japan. The nanobubble tub discharges nano-sized water particles which pe*****te the pores of the skin and coat, thus giving the animal companion a thorough wash and lingering freshness. Animal companions with skin problems can be treated with an Ultrasonic Ozone Spa followed by a Clay-pack Far Infrared (FIR) therapy session. The Ultrasonic Ozone spa detoxifies the skin and coat with ozone and facilitates skin rejuvenation via an ultrasonic effect produced by the multiple jets in the tub. Following that, the animal companions are coated with healing clay blended with floral hydrolates, wrapped with a special bathrobe and then be massaged under the infrared panels, where the gentle radiant heat increases blood circulation, thereby reducing inflammation and soothing the skin and body with the healing clay mix. Petopia is also the first pet establishment in Asia other than Japan to introduce Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HOT), which helps animal companions cope with the effects of aging, illness, injury or overexertion via abundant access to pure oxygen. The animal companion is placed in a large transparent chamber that supplies a pressurised flow of pure oxygen 1.5 times that of atmospheric oxygen level, affording the companion more oxygen in the bloodstream for cell regrowth and repair, thus sp*eding the recovery process.

★ ✰ Bidadari Stray Dogs: Caretaker Challenges NParks’ Justification For Removal ✰ ★

The controversy over the National Parks Board’s (NParks) decision to trap and remove the Bidadari stray dogs continues to grow as longtime caretaker Jermaine Chua raises serious concerns over the agency’s justification for its actions.

While NParks has cited public safety concerns and reports of territorial behaviour, as reported by Singapore mainstream media, Chua argues that these claims lack clear evidence and that alternative solutions have not been fully explored.

☆ Questioning NParks’ Claims on Public Safety Risks ☆

NParks stated that it has received over 60 pieces of feedback, including 20 reports of the dogs chasing parkgoers. However, Chua questions the specificity and accuracy of these reports.

“Are these 20 reports a subset of the 60 feedback, or does this mean there are 80 incidents in total? More importantly, how many of these are unique incidents rather than repeated complaints from the same individuals?” Chua asked.

She further highlighted that during a 15 January meeting with NParks, she and other feeders had asked NParks to provide video evidence of the alleged chasing incidents. However, NParks admitted that there was none.

“I am not sure why NParks made this decision to remove the dogs despite having no evidence. None of us have ever witnessed the dogs chasing anyone. The dogs are extremely skittish and do not even approach humans, let alone chase them,” she said.

Chua and the feeders had requested that NParks install surveillance cameras in areas where complaints were received to verify these reports.

However, according to Chua, NParks did not commit to this request. By the next meeting on 27 January, it had already decided to proceed with trapping — despite reportedly having no surveillance footage showing aggressive behaviour.

☆ Injury Incident: Was It Truly a Safety Risk? ☆

NParks also cited an incident where a child was injured while running away from the dogs as a justification for their removal. Chua acknowledges that such incidents warrant concern but questions whether the Bidadari dogs were actually involved.

“If a child was chased and injured, then yes, it is a safety concern. HOWEVER, we need further verification to determine if the dog belonged to the Bidadari pack. At this juncture, it would be unfair to point fingers without concrete evidence,” she argued.

Additionally, she revealed that during two meetings with NParks, this incident was never brought up.

“We were only told that a child fell because she was startled by a dog’s barking. This contradicts what NParks is now claiming. In my opinion, the words used by NParks suggest two distinct and separate incidents, and the facts need to be clarified.”

☆ “If No Injuries Have Happened Yet, That Means It’s Too Late?” ☆

NParks’ director of community animal management operations, Lin Anhui, defended the decision by stating: “If we do have a case of direct injury, that means it’s too late.”

Chua finds this reasoning contradictory and inconsistent, questioning why NParks does not apply the same standard to other urban wildlife such as monkeys, otters, wild boars, and crocodiles — all of which have caused more serious injuries than the Bidadari dogs.

“If this logic applies to stray dogs, shouldn’t it also apply to other wildlife? Yet, these animals are not systematically removed. Fear alone should not justify removal, especially when there is no documented case of aggression.”

She argues that a more balanced approach, such as public education and protective measures, would be far more effective than preemptive removal.

☆ Trapping and Hoarding: “How Is This Humane?” ☆

NParks insists that it is using “humane trapping methods”, stating that food and water have been placed in a corral to condition the dogs before the enclosure is closed.

However, Chua strongly refutes that the process is truly humane, especially for the elderly and skittish Bidadari dogs.

“These dogs have never been confined before. Trapping them will subject them to immense stress, fear, and confusion. It is a terrifying experience for a dog that has never lived in captivity.”

She also challenged NParks’ claim that the blue canvas hoarding does not restrict the dogs’ movement.

“If NParks has installed similar hoardings elsewhere and seen dogs moving freely, they should provide evidence. From the moment the hoarding was installed on January 27, NParks told us that stepping into the enclosed area to feed the dogs could be considered trespassing. So how were we supposed to continue feeding them?”

Chua further revealed that, for seven days after the hoarding was erected, the dogs did not eat.

“Since NParks did not tell us if they were providing food, we continued placing food and water outside the hoarding every day. But the food was untouched for an entire week. This is clear evidence that the dogs were negatively impacted.”

☆ Rehoming and Rehabilitation: “Not That Simple” ☆

NParks has assured the public that the dogs will be rehomed, fostered, or placed in shelters, and dismissed concerns about their age, stating: “It is not always difficult to rehabilitate older dogs.”

Chua argues that this oversimplifies the problem, pointing out that NParks is not the one responsible for rehabilitation and rehoming — animal welfare groups (AWGs) are.

“The onus of bailing the dogs out from NParks, finding foster homes, rehabilitation, and rehoming has always fallen on AWGs—not NParks. And if they assess the dogs as unsuitable for rehoming, they will either be relocated or euthanized.”

She warned that relocating the dogs to another area merely shifts the problem instead of solving it.

“These dogs will have to fight with existing packs in a new area for territory and food. And if there are no feeders there, they may starve. Is that humane?”

She further challenged NParks’ claim that euthanasia is a “last resort”, stating:

“Euthanasia should only be considered if the animal is suffering and has no quality of life. Any departure from this is inhumane. We are not sure if they will eventually be euthanized based on NParks’ internal assessment, which may not prioritize their health. That is why we need to bail them out immediately if they are trapped.”

☆ Alternative Solutions Ignored? ☆

Chua has repeatedly proposed alternative solutions, such as keeping the dogs within a restricted area using hoarding and fencing, as NParks itself claims the hoarding is effective in minimizing interactions.

“NParks says the hoarding works, so why not take the next step and fully enclose the area to ensure they remain within it? Signages could be put up to educate parkgoers. If the hoarding is truly effective, there is no reason to remove the dogs at all.”

She also questioned whether NParks has truly considered all perspectives before making its decision. “More than 3,000 people have signed a petition to let the dogs stay. Why are their voices being ignored while NParks acts purely on complaints?”

The online petition started by Chua on Change.org has since gathered more than 4,500 signatures as of Friday, urging NParks to reconsider its decision.

☆ “Stay True to TNRM” ☆

Ultimately, Chua emphasized that removal is not in line with NParks’ own Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage (TNRM) program, which aims to allow sterilized strays to live out their lives in their habitat.

“Public education is key. Decisions should be based on facts, not fear. We need to stay true to the intent and objective of the TNRM program—not abandon it when it becomes inconvenient.”

As NParks moves forward with its plan, the fate of the Bidadari Dogs hangs in the balance, raising urgent questions about Singapore’s approach to urban wildlife management. ❣

Caretaker Jermaine Chua challenges NParks’ claim that Bidadari stray dogs pose a safety risk, citing a lack of evidence. She argues that removal contradicts the TNRM program and urges alternatives like fencing. With 3,000+ petitioners supporting coexistence, she calls for a humane resolution.

★ ✰ Uncle Ong, 71, Thanks Donors For Paying For Cat Food To Feed 30 Cats A Day Over Last 2 Years ✰ ★

Uncle Ong, the bus driver who feeds about 30 cats a day in Kallang and Hougang industrial areas, first entered the Singapore public's consciousness in March 2023 when his story was shared online.

In short, the 71-year-old has spent the past 18 years feeding community cats daily by himself, rain or shine.

☆ Public stepped in to help buy cat food ☆

It was only about two years ago, after his story was made known, that the public started making donations to help pay for the cat food on his behalf to shoulder the financial responsibility.

Before that, the elderly man would fork out more than S$400 or more a month from his own pocket, derived from his S$1,000-plus monthly salary, to buy cat food, which comprises wet food and dry kibbles.

As part of accountability and transparency, regular updates about Uncle Ong have been provided to show that the community's funds are put to good use.

For our latest check-in during the post-Chinese New Year period, Uncle Ong said again that he is grateful to all those who have stepped up to make donations, and that he takes it as encouragement for continuing to do what he does.

This means the cats still wait patiently for his bus to pull up daily. However, over the last two years, the cost of cat food has risen due to global inflation.

It takes about S$500 each month now to feed the cats.

☆ Continued feeding during monsoon rain season ☆

Uncle Ong said he stuck to his cat-feeding routine during the recent monsoon rain season, which began in the middle of January 2025 and lasted a few weeks.

Asked how he managed when torrential downpour saw a record amount of rain dumped on Singapore day and night for weeks, he quipped: "I prayed for it to stop, and the rain stopped."

But he was quick to reveal his modus operandi during foul weather in the evenings.

He said, while laughing: "The cats will wait for me under the heavy vehicles where it is dry. I feed them under the lorries. They are very smart, they know how to hide. I just wear a cap."

The bus driver will make the rounds in the two industrial estates, where the cats will faithfully wait for his arrival, even when he is late sometimes, he added.

☆ Another man helped to cremate cat that died ☆

While feeding cats bring Uncle Ong joy, he has gone through more than his fair share of having to bid farewell to the felines that have died due to natural causes or accidents.

"I still cry whenever a cat dies," he said in Hokkien as his voice broke.

While he still personally brings cats to a vet in Toa Payoh, which has also chipped in to help Uncle Ong, some in the community have personally stepped up as well.

One man, in particular, who has been helping with some of the costs of vet fees, also saw to the cremation of a deceased cat. This was after one of the cats Uncle Ong had been feeding in Kallang apparently died of old age in December 2024.

To give Uncle Ong closure, the man also provided photos of the cat's cremation in Mandai.

☆ Uncle Ong's show of gratitude ☆

For almost two years now, I have been sharing regular updates on Uncle Ong and his mission to ensure the cats under his watch do not go hungry for more than a day.

As a token of his appreciation, he gave me a red packet with S$10 inside. The money will be donated back to buy cat food for him.

☆ How to donate ☆

Donors who wish to help Uncle Ong can purchase cat food or by contributing smaller sums for him can contact S&S Pet's Shop at [email protected].

The products are labelled "Cats of Kallang".

The pet shop overseeing the donations will allocate the cat food that the public has purchased for Uncle Ong to pick up. ❣

Another kind soul saw to and paid for the cremation of a cat that had passed away in Kallang.

★ ✰ Pet Dog In China Escapes Boarding Centre, Gets Hit By Car & Cooked By Highway Workers Who Found Body ✰ ★

☆ Dog in China hit by car then eaten by officers who found its body ☆

A horrifying incident unfolded in China on the first day of Chinese New Year (CNY) when a pet dog, frightened by fireworks, escaped onto a highway, got hit by a car, and was later cooked and eaten by patrol officers who found its carcass.

According to The Paper, a Shenzhen-based woman had left her beloved four-year-old dog, Yi Yi, at a pet boarding centre before travelling abroad for CNY. She was completely unprepared for the shocking events that would follow.

☆ Frightened dog bolts onto highway, gets hit by car ☆

In the early hours of 29 Jan, the sound of fireworks terrified Yi Yi, who managed to escape from the pet boarding centre and ran onto a nearby highway. Surveillance footage later revealed that a car struck the dog, though the injuries were allegedly not fatal.

Upon learning that her dog was missing, the woman immediately cut short her vacation in the Maldives and rushed back to Shenzhen. She even put up a massive ¥50,000 (S$9,300) reward for anyone who could find Yi Yi.

☆ Patrol officers found dog – then ate it ☆

But when she returned to Shenzhen and checked the surveillance footage, she discovered the harrowing truth.

At around 10.36am, highway patrol officers found Yi Yi, who was allegedly still alive but injured. Instead of taking the dog to a vet, the officers carried it back to their company cafeteria — where it was cooked and eaten. Eight people, reportedly highway workers, shared in the meal.

The pet owner also alleged that highway staff repeatedly evaded her questions and even tried to obstruct her search for Yi Yi. Public anger exploded online as details of the incident emerged.

On 6 Feb, the highway company released a statement acknowledging the incident. They said they were alerted to the dog’s presence on the highway at around 10am, and their officers arrived at 10.22am.

The company insisted that when they found Yi Yi, the dog had “no vital signs” and was assumed to be a stray. The officers then made the decision to handle the carcass “privately”.

“We deeply regret this incident,” the company said in a statement. “We will also address the inappropriate behaviour of the personnel involved.” ❣

★ ✰ Parks Says Stray Dogs At Bidadari Park Not 'trapped' Inside Hoarding, But Might Be Rehomed After Parkgoers' Complain...
12/02/2025

★ ✰ Parks Says Stray Dogs At Bidadari Park Not 'trapped' Inside Hoarding, But Might Be Rehomed After Parkgoers' Complaints ✰ ★

Residents in Bidadari have banded together to call for the release of four elderly stray dogs.

The dogs — known to residents as Floppy, Pointy, Kalu, and White Chest — have allegedly been trapped for removal from Bidadari Park. This is reportedly due to complaints from members of the public.

In an online petition, one of the dogs' feeders, Jermaine Chua, called for the dogs to be left alone. She said that they have been living there for over 10 years and and "did not pose any threat to anyone".

"There has been no case of actual aggression nor attack from the innocent dogs who are almost 10 years old and do not have very much time left," she added.

The petition has gained over 3,000 signatures.

In response, the National Parks Board (NParks) said it is working to "humanely trap" the dogs and explore options for rehoming, fostering, and relocation. It added that the dogs are free to move in and out of the hoarded-up area.

☆ Tension with residents ☆

The strays have lived in the area since it was redeveloped from Mount Vernon Sanctuary to Bidadari Park, according to an Instagram page run by Chua.

While the dogs are shy and skittish, and would previously avoid people, the opening of Bidadari Park in September 2024 led to a "sudden influx of strange humans into their space".

"Naturally there was some tension which was expressed through barking," Chua wrote. However, there has been no evidence of actual attacks or aggression on humans, she added.

☆ 'Extremely scared' ☆

But as a result of visitor complaints, NParks has now "sealed up the area" to trap, capture, and remove the dogs, Chua claimed. She added that the dogs are likely "extremely scared", and that they have been unable to come out for food for days.

As such, Chua and other feeders have been leaving food for the dogs near the hoarding. "How is this humane trapping?" she asked in a recent Instagram post.

Furthermore, she argued that rehoming or relocation are less-than-ideal options for the strays. The former is unlikely due to their age and skittish nature, and the latter is risky and stressful, she said.

As such, she hopes for the dogs to be left alone "to live out their remaining time". She is also seeking fosterers to take them in temporarily.

☆ Canvas hoarding does not trap the dogs ☆

In response to Mothership's queries, NParks confirmed that it had received feedback about "territorial behaviour" displayed by free-roaming dogs at Bidadari Park. It is conducting surveillance and is working towards the humane capture of the dogs for public safety reasons, it added.

The statutory board also explained that the barriers installed, which some might believe are trapping the dogs, are canvas hoarding. These are meant to provide a visual barrier to minimise human-dog interactions such as barking, and to prevent members of the public from entering off-trail areas.

In fact, the dogs are free to move in and out of the hoarded-up area, NParks said. NParks added that after safely trapping the dogs, it will work with animal welfare groups to manage them "responsibly".

"This includes exploring options for rehoming, fostering and relocation for the dogs once they are humanely captured," it said.

In the meantime, signs have been installed to advise park visitors on how to manage encounters with free-roaming dogs. Members of the public are advised not to stare at them, to speak softly, and to walk away slowly without making any sudden movements.

NParks said that while free-roaming dogs are territorial in nature and may bark or chase things, they tend to be wary of humans and usually stay out of their way. They may also approach people to use their sense of smell to gather information about their surroundings.

Members of the public who need help can contact the Animal Response Centre at 1800-476-1600. ❣

The canvas hoarding erected by NParks serves as a visual barrier to reduce human-dog interactions, and the dogs are free to move in and out.

Our Brand Story

Petopia ~ Singapore's Finest Pet Hotel, Salon and Spa Centre Since 2010 From top-grade nutritional and holistic pet-care products, fine styling to tailored spa treatments and quality hotel & daycare services, discerning pet owners can expect to be spoilt for choice at Petopia. Comparable in standards to leading human spas and pet centres around the world, integrated pet wellness centre Petopia has redefined pet-care in Singapore with its holistic, transparent and accountable approach, together with its suite of state of the art equipment. In affirming its commitment to provide the finest and most revolutionary pet-care services available, Petopia has introduced many firsts in Singapore and even in the region, since its opening in 2010. ♡ Japanese Style Grooming ♡ Helmed by a skilful and award-winning Japanese stylist from Tokyo, fur parents can have their animal companions transformed with trendy styles from Tokyo, creative makeovers and adorned with stylish hair extensions, accessories and even nail capping. Our salon adopts a open concept and uses state of the art, holistic, safe and sanitised equipment and material to provide quality grooming for our guests. Each stylist is only allocated 4 - 5 styling guests (depending on breed size and complexity) each day with no rush, frazzle and stress so you can rest assured your animal companion will receive undivided attention from our stylist with ample time to create unique looks. ♡ Spa & Healing Technology from Japan ♡ Petopia is the only pet service centre in the region to have a nanobubble bath machine imported from Japan. The nanobubble tub discharges nano-sized water particles which pe*****te the pores of the skin and coat, thus giving the animal companion a thorough wash and lingering freshness. Animal companions with skin problems can be treated with an Ultrasonic Ozone Spa followed by a Clay-pack Far Infrared (FIR) therapy session. The Ultrasonic Ozone spa detoxifies the skin and coat with ozone and facilitates skin rejuvenation via an ultrasonic effect produced by the multiple jets in the tub. Following that, the animal companions are coated with healing clay blended with floral hydrolates, wrapped with a special bathrobe and then be massaged under the infrared panels, where the gentle radiant heat increases blood circulation, thereby reducing inflammation and soothing the skin and body with the healing clay mix. Petopia is also the first pet establishment in Asia other than Japan to introduce Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HOT), which helps animal companions cope with the effects of aging, illness, injury or overexertion via abundant access to pure oxygen. The animal companion is placed in a large transparent chamber that supplies a pressurised flow of pure oxygen 1.5 times that of atmospheric oxygen level, affording the companion more oxygen in the bloodstream for cell regrowth and repair, thus sp*eding the recovery process. ♡ Pet Hotel ♡ Our Suites @ KLOUD 9 heralds new comfort standards for the benefit of your canine companions! We aspire to understand your canine companions well so as to anticipate our guests' every wish. Your canine companion can count on the high standards of care and reliability. ʕ•͡ᴥ•ʔ Our Hallmark Service Tenets ► Peace of mind Be it activity time or meal-time, our guests are well taken care by our pet guardians, who are specially trained and demonstrate years of experience in the handling of animal companions. Check in on them anytime remotely on your mobile or desktop devices via our hi-definition and hi-sp*ed web-cam system! ► Human Touch Playing, cuddling, bonding: our pet guardians represent the immensely important human contact at Suites @ KLOUD 9. Our team always sees to it that the individual needs of your animal companion are met, besides heaping on extra units of tender loving care. ► Safe Interaction To ensure undivided attention is being accorded to all guests, each of our pet guardian takes care of not more than five dogs at any one time, depending on age, breed size, gender and temperament. Our guests will interact with their newfound friends under close supervision by our pet guardian, keeping them out of harm's way. ► Maximum Comfort When night falls, our guests will retreat to their personal suites for a restful sleep in total privacy. Our spacious suites are specially tailored to the needs of our guests and meet the highest demands a canine companion can have. Fur parents may decide whether they want a larger space in Family or Prestige Suites or rather retire to an equally comfortable Cosy Suite. As with full-fledge pet hotels, cosy beds custom made from with organic cotton and h**p (with the option of fresh thick towels), amenities like p*e trays, paw balm and ceramic bowls are provided on a daily basis to ensure the highest order of comfort possible to our canine guests. ► Soothing and Refreshing Environment No efforts are spared to maintain a high levels of air integrity. In addition to the pleasant scent of essential oils, stale air is extracted for UV-sterilization, HVAC filtration and ionizing purification. Individual inlets and outlets have been fitted in every suite to regulate an even distribution of air at an adequate temperature, ensuring the right level of comfort, even to senior dogs with respiratory difficulties. Housekeeping is performed at least twice daily to make sure that the premises is in tip-top condition. To keep bacteria at bay, only natural and environmentally-conscious cleaning products are used on hospital-grade vinyl-cushioned flooring to keep both our guests and the earth safe. ► Personalised Dietary Attention When it comes to food, we do not make compromises! Instead of subjecting our guests to a meal they need getting used to or one that may potentially trigger an allergy, we advocate feeding what our guests have been eating at home. When required, our Food Loft provides high-quality meals designed to suit the specific needs of each animal companion. Just highlight any specific dietary needs and the Food Loft will ensure the food is delivered properly. Does your darling have a special wish? Just make an order from our mini-bar! Just think of our mini-bar as being able to give your love from afar! Select from a handpicked list of quality treats below and our staff will pamper your furbies with a little extra puppy love. Given that most of our guests get all the love they need and hardly have time to miss you, we will pack any remaining treats when checking-out.
