POV: Your regular doggy school excursion to Marina Barrage turned into an outdoor photoshoot 📸

We had the pleasure of inviting our pal, Shirley from shutterbarkstudio to join us on this adventure and we’re glad we did because just look at how amazing the photos turned out! Of course, none of this would’ve been possible without our fabulous pawdels and they were all paid in treats after 🤪

Our pups really brought it for TAR's Prom Night 2024! They arrived all decked out in their smartest outfits and took centre stage like they owned it 🥳😎 We took this time to celebrate what a great year we've had and our dogs - those who've been with us the whole time and the new ones who've joined us this year. Thank you for your continuous support! 😇

There was no shortage of splish splash fun at the pool today! We’re so proud of our dogs - some of whom were first-time swimmers. A life jacket jet pack, some words of encouragement and a few balls in the water was all it took to get the swimming started! 🏊‍♀️ 🐶

We're as serious as Appa when we say: don't miss out on additional savings if you've got more than one pup in your household. Link in bio to book a trial today 🙃

What a spooky Howl-O-Ween we had ourselves this year! It was a genuine blast seeing all of our pups in costumes and we're already looking forward to next year's!

Happy Halloween all! 🧛🕷️👻

Just 1 week to go! If you're at a loss for costume ideas this Halloween, here's a quick list of costumes that both you AND your doggo can try out - don't forget to tag us when you do! 😁

Swipe for some of our favourites from last year's Howl-O-Ween pawty!

Today's a special day - we commemorate World Mental Health Day and we recognise that it should be an open conversation every day. Let's take a dive into how mental conditions affect our dogs too. There are 2 most common forms of mental health conditions in canines and they are:

1. Depression: While health experts can't be certain that dogs experience depression the same way humans do, there are a few situations in clinical practice in which it tends to be the only explanation. Symptoms of depression include a sudden change in behaviour, decreased appetite, and lethargic behaviour just to name a few. Ruling out any underlying medical issues is always the first step. Some common triggers for this can be chronic pain, environmental changes, trauma, grief or social isolation. According to AKC, treatment plans often involve support from the owner and can be as simple as taking them on extra fun and long walks, play time and just overall extra attention. In more serious cases, medication may be introduced.

2. Anxiety: As an umbrella term, anxiety is usually subcategorised into Fear, Separation, Age-related. Common symptoms include drooling, excessive panting, pacing around, destructive behaviour, defecation, compulsive behaviours and more. The first thing you should do if you suspect your dog suffers from anxiety is to speak to a professional (medical and training) to identify the type of anxiety your dog is suffering from. From this, you would have a clearer treatment plan that may involve training, counter-conditioning and/or medication.

Let's love our dogs better ❤️

We’re not a regular doggy daycare, we’re a cool doggy daycare 😎

We get referred to as “doggy school” a lot because much like human schools, your pups learn new desirable habits from humans and other dogs and it’s where they meet and play with friends, they just don’t get homework (lucky dogs!). It may be October 3rd, but very much unlike mean girls, your dogs will be loved and accepted as they are here at “school”!

01/10/2024

It's finally 1st October and you know what that means... it's the month of Howl-O-Ween!

If you didn't already know, we go all in for the spooky season and so do our daycare pups, leading up to the main event, we'll be reminiscing the best of last year's costumes.

Count down to an un-boo-lievable Halloween with us!

Last week went by in such a hurry - but time flies when you're having fun! Happy Monday y'all 😉

P.S. If you're on the hunt for a doggy daycare in the East for your pup, a complimentary trial session can be arranged - link in bio!

Running our legs out isn’t a big deal if it means happy faces like these 🏃‍♀️💨🐾

Did you know: International Dog Day is celebrated worldwide every 26th of August - giving these four-legged creatures a much needed day of appreciation.

As a doggy daycare, we've had the privilege of meeting and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments and there's no shortage of answers when asked, "what do you love most about dogs?". Every dog lover would probably agree. So we'd love to hear from you, our community - let us know in the comments below what dogs mean to you ✍️🫶

Enrichment for dogs usually mean augmenting your dog's every day routine with various forms of engagement to increase their physical and emotional wellbeing. Some forms of enrichment include:

1. Long walks specifically for sniffing and exploring. Sniffing is how dogs gather and interpret information about the world and having a walk dedicated to sniffing is a great way to engage their noses and mental faculties

2. Rotating your dogs' toy roster keeps things novel and helps to keep your pups interested in enrichment time. Try using a variety of snuffle mats, puzzles and treat-filled toys

3. Play time between dogs also includes finding suitable playmates and grouping them according to similar ages, temperaments and/or sizes. This sets the stage for balanced and healthy play. Keeping your pups on their feet by having them learn new tricks or breaking out some old ones is also a great form of enrichment and improves your overall bond too

If you're looking for a doggy daycare that has everything covered, reach out to us and let's talk about a trial!

It may only be the middle of the week but we're dreaming about the next time we get to splash around at the pool with the dogs again. Join us? There's always room for more on the flamingo float 🦩😉

"S M U S H" - a collection inspired by pure cuteness. Don't try this at home, folks. 😉

Happy 59th Birthday Singapore! We reused some cardboard pieces we had leftover from Easter and got to sketching and painting for this year’s National Day photoshoot so we could have a little bit of our city’s most iconic landmarks here at The Animal Retreat 😉🇸🇬

We've all seen our fair share of head tilts and while they're painfully adorable, we sometimes wonder why dogs do it - so we asked the interwebs:

1. One possibility could be that dogs do this to help orient them better to sounds (more specifically, the weird sounds we make to get their attention for a pic 😜)

2. Though there isn't much research to support this, another reason could be that tilting their heads give them a better perspective when trying to focus on something in the environment

3. One study also hypothesised that head-tilting could be connected to the way a dog uses different sides of their brain to process information - such as tilting their heads from one side to another to help them analyse and think about what certain sounds could mean

No matter the possibilities, we can all agree that it's could very well be the cutest thing in the world ❤️

Happy International Friendship Day! Today we celebrate the lifelong friendships our pups have fostered at The Animal Retreat - the same ones that cross even the borders of our little sunny island. Wherever you are in this big, big world friends, don't forget your besties here at TAR miss you dearly! 🫶

The rainy season may be upon us but you best believe we have as much fun indoors as we do outdoors! 🏕️ 🐾 ⛅️

Some days we’re daycare assistants, other days we’re detectives tryna tell some of these dogs apart 😮‍💨🕵️‍♂️

We’re not saying being a Doggy Daycare Assistant is the best job in the world - Gareth is saying it. Check out what a day is like walking, feeding, playing with dogs and everything else in between! Oh and also, TAR is hiring! Feel free to shoot us a message/email (link in bio) to find out more!

Abelia’s turn to guess the dogs!
