Kisska & Ko

When we first discovered Kisska & Ko, we knew we had found something special for Singapore’s pet owners. Nestled in the eastern part of Singapore at 20 Waringin Park, this grooming studio stands apart from the typical bustling salons we’ve visited before. The moment we walked through the door with our dogs, we felt the difference immediately — instead of the harsh fluorescent lights and clinical atmosphere of traditional grooming centres, we were greeted by a warm, inviting space designed to feel like a modern living room. Kisska & Ko has created an environment where both pets and their parents feel genuinely welcome and at ease.

What makes Kisska & Ko truly exceptional is their unwavering commitment to fear-free grooming practices. Every groomer at the studio is Fear-Free Certified, with years of experience handling both cats and dogs with the utmost gentleness and care. We were impressed to learn that Kisska & Ko’s entire philosophy revolves around reducing stress, anxiety, and over-stimulation for our furry friends. Rather than using force or rushing through appointments, the team prioritises your pet’s emotional wellbeing at every step, using positive reinforcement and taking breaks whenever needed. This approach resonated deeply with us, especially knowing how important it is for our dogs to have positive grooming experiences.

One of the most thoughtful aspects of Kisska & Ko that we appreciated is their complete separation of cat and dog facilities. Unlike other salons where all pets are groomed in the same space, Kisska & Ko maintains completely different rooms and even separate entrances for cats and dogs. During our visit, we watched how this setup immediately created a calmer environment. Our dogs didn’t bark at nervous cats, and sensitive pets weren’t overwhelmed by the sounds of other animals. This separation is particularly beneficial for anxious or reactive pets, and for cats who may have had negative grooming experiences elsewhere.

The one-on-one attention we received at Kisska & Ko was genuinely remarkable. Rather than the conveyor-belt style of grooming we’d encountered at other studios, each pet is groomed individually with the groomer’s complete attention. There’s no rush, no multi-tasking, and no compromises on quality. We were even invited to stay and watch our dogs through a peekaboo wall, allowing us to check in on them without disrupting their session. This transparency gave us tremendous peace of mind and let us see firsthand how gently and professionally our pets were being handled.

The range of services at Kisska & Ko is comprehensive and tailored to each pet’s individual needs. For dogs and cats new to grooming or those who only need a quick tidy-up, express grooming sessions focus on essentials like nail trimming, sanitary areas, and basic under-paw work. For those wanting more comprehensive care, Kisska & Ko offers full grooming packages that include thorough baths, blow-dries, and professional coat styling. Their menu is thoughtfully designed to accommodate pets at different comfort levels, recognising that not every pet needs — or wants — a full spa treatment.

Another thing we genuinely appreciated about visiting Kisska & Ko is their booking-only appointment system. Because they accept by appointment only, the studio never feels crowded or chaotic. This quiet, controlled environment is ideal for dogs and cats who are reactive, shy, or have had traumatic grooming experiences. It’s a deliberate choice that prioritises pet wellbeing over maximising client throughput, and it shows in every detail of the experience.

For pet owners in Singapore seeking a grooming experience that prioritises their furry friends’ emotional and physical wellbeing, Kisska & Ko represents a new standard. Their Fear-Free Certified groomers, separate facilities for cats and dogs, one-on-one attention, and calm environment create an experience that transforms grooming from a stressful ordeal into a pleasant, care-filled event. We left our session with our dogs looking absolutely beautiful, and more importantly, they were visibly relaxed and happy. Kisska & Ko has earned our trust and wholehearted recommendation, and we look forward to bringing our pups back for their next appointment.
