Top 5 Dog Breeds That Need Regular Grooming in Singapore (And Why!)

Top 5 Dog Breeds That Need Regular Grooming in Singapore (And Why!)

Singapore’s humid weather and urban environment can take a toll on your dog’s coat and skin. If you’re a pet parent to a breed that requires extra grooming care, regular visits to a professional pet groomer are essential. At The Grooming Angels, we specialise in gentle dog grooming tailored to each breed’s unique needs, from regular brushing to full grooming and spa care.

Here are the top 5 dog breeds in Singapore that need consistent grooming, and why their coat care is so important.



1. Pomeranian

Grooming frequency: Every 3 to 4 weeks
Why they need grooming:
Pomeranians have a thick double coat that tangles easily. Without regular brushing and de-shedding, their fur can quickly mat, especially around the underarms and chest. Their long fur also traps dirt and debris, which can cause skin irritation in Singapore’s humid weather.

Recommended services:

  • Full grooming with trimming
  • Deshedding treatment
  • Paw pad shaving and sanitary trimming

2. Shih Tzu

Grooming frequency: Every 3 to 4 weeks
Why they need grooming:
Shih Tzus have long, flowing hair that grows continuously. If left unmanaged, their coat becomes tangled and uncomfortable. Tear stains are also common, requiring gentle facial cleaning. Regular trims keep them neat, cool, and tangle-free.

Recommended services:

  • Full grooming with haircut
  • Facial scrub
  • Tear stain cleansing

3. Cocker Spaniel

Grooming frequency: Every 4 weeks
Why they need grooming:
Known for their gorgeous ears and feathered legs, Cocker Spaniels require consistent grooming to prevent matting and ear infections. Their long ears can trap moisture and dirt, while their feathered coat picks up debris during walks.

Recommended services:

  • Full grooming
  • Ear cleaning
  • Paw and leg trimming

4. Poodle (Toy, Miniature, Standard)

Grooming frequency: Every 3 to 6 weeks (depending on size and coat style)
Why they need grooming:
Poodles have a curly, dense coat that doesn’t shed much, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need care. Without regular brushing and grooming, their curls can mat and pull at the skin. Many poodle parents also opt for stylish cuts that require upkeep.

Recommended services:

  • Full grooming with style cuts
  • Brushing and fluff drying
  • Paw balm treatment

5. Golden Retriever

Grooming frequency: Every 4 to 6 weeks
Why they need grooming:
Golden Retrievers shed year-round, and their thick undercoat can trap heat and dirt. In Singapore’s tropical climate, regular grooming helps to prevent hotspots and excessive shedding. Trimming their feathering also keeps them cleaner and cooler.

Recommended services:

  • Basic grooming with de-shedding
  • Paw pad and ear cleaning
  • Fur trimming around tail and legs
