Our Purpose & Values
Who We Are
Welcome to The Pets Workshop!
We have been proudly serving pet owners since 2021 with our exceptional pet grooming services. Here at The Pets Workshop, we believe in redefining pet care by placing utmost importance on your fur-kids’ grooming experiences. Our dedicated team consists of passionate pet owners who genuinely care about your furry companions. We treat them with the same love, patience, and attention we give to our own fur-kids. Listening to you and understanding your pets’ unique needs is at the core of our philosophy.
Our journey has been driven by our unwavering commitment to excellence and a best-in-class attitude, which sees us expanding our footprint to areas beyond Tampines and our offerings to include pet grooming courses at our Tampines flagship store.
At The Pets Workshop Academy, we aim to share our knowledge, expertise, and industry insights with aspiring pet groomers. We are committed to nurturing talent, providing a comprehensive curriculum, and equipping our students with the skills they need to excel in this rewarding field. It’s our way of giving back to the community and elevating the standards of pet care industry-wide.
“Pet Care Redefined” – this motto represents our operating principles, our dedication to excellence, and our unwavering passion for pets. Beyond pet grooming, where we believe that pet care should go beyond the ordinary, creating an environment where your fur-kids can look and feel awesome while enjoying a refreshing and relaxing grooming experience, our motto is evident in in our holistic approach towards pet grooming education as well.
We invite you to explore our website, learn about our services and The Academy, and meet our incredible team of groomers and educators. When you choose The Pets Workshop, you’re choosing more than just a grooming salon or a pet grooming school; you’re choosing a family that understands the unique bond you share with your pets.
Welcome to The Pets Workshop – Where Pet Care is Redefined, one fur-kid at a time.

Raena How | Stylist
Raena How stepped into the pet grooming industry slightly more than three years ago, before earning her Singapore Kennel Club Class C certification in August 2022. In her previous role, Raena How had the opportunity to pick up pet grooming skills, and she managed to gain a lot of practical and solid experience in pet grooming and animal handling in those three years working with pets. Suffice it to say, it is not typical for a newly minted professional groomer to possess the depth of skills possessed by Raena How, and the strength of The Pets Workshop is greatly enhanced with Raena How's arrival.

Summer Zhou | Instructor and Principal Stylist
Summer’s pet grooming career began after she graduated from one of the top pet grooming schools in Singapore. She then went on to join a leading pet grooming establishment and eventually became a team lead of one of its outlets, which accounts for Summer’s wealth of experience in pet grooming.
Even with her ample experience, Summer does not rest on her laurels as she continues to work to obtain her master certification. Apart from working on her master certification, Summer is a firm believer of continuing education and she attends webinars frequently to acquire new grooming knowledge and know-how to further refine her grooming skills.
Summer’s desire to redefine pet care is evident in the approach of The Pets Workshop Academy towards pet grooming education as well. Leading new learners into the world of professional pet grooming by equipping them with the necessary technical skills is the fundamental expectation at The Pets Workshop Academy. However, the pet grooming industry is in a constant process of being re-defined. The status of domestic pets is evolving, and so are the expectations and awareness of customers. Summer believes that this development is welcoming, but it means that it is no longer adequate for aspiring pet groomers to be just technically competent at what they do. This is why at The Pets Workshop Academy, Summer strives not only to oversee the technical development of students, but to also assist them to build a relationship of trust with fur-kids and their pawrents. Summer’s mission is to ensure that our students are able to go out into the market, confident, compassionate and with the hunger to redefine the pet care industry.

Corporate Responsibility
The Pets Workshop may be a small and new enterprise, but we believe it is never too early to start thinking about Corporate Responsibility. We believe we could, and we should give back to our communities and create value for society by focusing our Corporate Responsibility efforts in area where we can have the most impact: Promoting Animal Welfare.
Promoting Animal Welfare
According to Euromonitor International, Singapore’s population of pet dogs, cats and small mammals like hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits has been growing over the years. Whilst we are heartened to note that there are more people seeking connections with animals, we recognize that animal welfare remains an issue that needs to be tackled. The Pets Workshop is committed to joining the conversation and to identify meaningful ways through which we could make an impact. Stay tuned to our social media updates.
