❤ Yoki Baby get groomed at A Dog’s Life Pet Salon ❤

Hello its time again to groom my precious Yoki~ we have received an invitation from A Dogs Life Pet Salon a while ago and I thought why not. The pet grooming salon newly opened located at 32 Eng Hoon Street Singapore 169780.  It is actually located quite near my place. So I took up the invitation and head down to the pet salon.

The place is not very hard to find but it would be more convenient if you are driving or taking a cab. The 1st thing that caught my eyes was the doggie wall papers… sooo cute.  I actually went to the pet salon twice for yoki grooming. The 1st time when I was there, they are not fully set up yet. So I decided to bring yoki back for grooming again and at the same time to take a look.




Look at the dog parking area they had, isn’t it so cute? Owners can come and feel free to park their dogs there.  Very good idea I reckoned if owners need to go get something where their furkid can’t tag along. This comes in handy.

I made Yoki sit down in front of the wall papers to pose… soo cute. But she was just t0o shy (ahem!!)….

We meet Chris and Mo (the groomer) during our 1st visit and Maisy during the 2nd visit. They were all so friendly and loves to play with Yoki.  Chris gave Yoki a basic check on her fur, skin, and ears to see if she had any kind of infection before the grooming.  Luckily all good haha I was impressed how much they took care of the furkids that were sent over for grooming.

Then.. Mo the groomer came out and check with me on the kind of hairstyle I would like on Yoki, I told him to follow his idea as long as Yoki turns out to be cute n pretty. The only part I asked them keep is Yokis renowned Dumbo Ears

Yoki was given a nice bath and blown dry then proceed to the grooming table.. Chris cleaning Yokis ears and Mo proceed with the snapping~



We have two cute doggies looking at Mo and Yoki.

They also sell a range of spa products there and I love the lavender soap bar smell so nice omggg!!!


And this is the overall price chart for you furkids at different sizes. They do offer adhoc service like express nail clipping, express oral care and etc... Visit their website and check out the packages they have here!! 

Handmade designer dog collars will also be available in June... I love the terrier one and also the pink collar!! 


Look at Yoki after grooming isnt she pretty?? Aww The 1st grooming and the 2nd grooming pictures as below:

 
   
 
Overall, I had a great experience with them and will continue to send Yoki there for grooming

Add their Facebook and Instagram (adogslife4sg) from more updates on upcoming promotions.

1st Dog Grooming Experience with Sopra Ginza Singapore (Dog Salon) ❤

Hihi~ if you are not aware from my previous post, I had got myself a puppy!! She is a Silky Terrier and her name is YOki  !! Refer to my previous post >> Click Here to get a sneak peek of her younger days photo when she is about 3-4mths old. She is now 6 months old already… how I wish that time can stop right here and she can be forever a puppy (wishful thinking of all puppy owners)!!

Ok~ back to the grooming experience with Sopra Ginza. Why did I choose Sopra Ginza out of so many pet grooming options available in Singapore? Actually I was recommended by one of my friend who owned silky terrier as well. We chat about almost everything that regards to our gal (pups).  Just like parents talking about their own kids. So I tot why not give Sopra Ginza grooming a go. So after much consideration, I texted Sopra Ginza and booked my appointment for full grooming. The person who replied my texts was really nice and patience with my questions and answered almost everything I asked. Haha… 

Sopra Ginza Singapore is located at 236 River Valley Road S(238294), which is pretty close to where I stay. Quite convenient and easy to locate and most importantly! I have direct bus there… of cos I put Yoki in dog carrier if not I think I will be thrown out of the bus.  Sopra Ginza provides service like grooming, spa, day care, pets learning classes, sales of puppies, online shops and they do provide ala carte services like ear cleaning, nail clipping etc etc. Click here to find out the price list and services available. 

I have chosen the normal full grooming for Yoki and she falls under Yorkshire’s pricing which is $65. On the grooming day itself, I rushed and get ready and took Yoki over to Sopra. The 1st impression I have was.. wow the huge clear glass!! This allows passerby to view the whole grooming process!! Cool isn’t it? Unlike some grooming places, they do not allow pet owners to view the whole grooming process which kind of worries them a little (after so many pet abuse news I heard recently).

When I stepped in the shop, there were barriers to prevent the doggies in the shop from coming out. There were so many dogs inside.. just like a big family and they were all so excited when they see Yoki.. Probably because Yoki was the only female dog in the shop at that moment (my Yoki is too pretty and cute too resist lah!! Ahem~) I did not managed to snap a picture of the dogs inside the shop as i wasn't sure if I am allowed to. 

I meet the groomer, Ms Kumiko who is a Japanese. She is very nice and patience while explaining to me the grooming process and also on how she intend to trim Yoki’s hair. She also asked me how I want Yoki to be styled. After much discussion, Yoki was brought in for her nice bath by Ms Zane who is a groomer as well. 

Yoki came out after about 20 mins or so.. did not managed to time as I was busy playing with the doggies in the shop.. cute overloaded!! Then Zane proceed on with cleaning Yoki’s ears, shaving her paw pads and Kumiko joined in to trim Yoki’s little head!! Both were very gentle with Yoki, and she wasn’t struggling or anything like what she did when I trim her (Angry!! She only bullies us!!). There is only one time where Yoki used her hand to push Kumiko’s hand away from her face, so cute! But Kumiko is still very patience and nice with Yoki. The whole fur cutting process took about another 30 mins or so as the fur on Yoki’s body is regularly trimmed by me so nothing really much to cut also jus that I am not professional as them to shape her messy head!! Haha~ 

 Pictures of Ms Kumiko and Zane working on Yoki ☆ 



Kumiko also added one cute red bow on Yoki after trimming… Super Sweet!! Yoki would never let me tie her hair!! Hope I have Kumiko’s skill on tying Yoki’s hair!!! For every customer who has their pet groomed at Sopra Ginza, a picture of your dog will be taken after grooming and printed out. This picture will then be pasted onto your Sopra Diary (pretty unique and cool I feel). Day care is also complimentary for dogs to stay till closing time after grooming. Doggies can play and socialise there where owners can go shopping without feeling guilty that their dogs are alone at home. Yoki did not get the chance to enjoy the day care as I brought her home after the grooming since I am not going anywhere. 
Overall, I am really satisfied with the Grooming experience and would definitely bring Yoki back another time and maybe for Spa treatment as well.. I wonder how will she feel when she is having her mud spa.. haha~
Ok long winded post!! Anyway do visit Sopra Ginza if you are looking for nice and reliable dog grooming shop!!
Ending my post with Yoki and Me (Yoki’s nicely groomed with little red bow!!!)
