Pet Groomers Operating from Residential Addresses

Ms Valerie Lee asked the Minister for National Development (a) whether the Government is aware of the number of pet groomers operating from residential addresses; (b) how many complaints have been received regarding such operations; and (c) what actions have been taken and outcomes achieved in resolving these cases.

Over the past 12 months, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) received one feedback case on smell and hygiene issues arising from pet grooming activities in a private condominium unit. Following investigations, URA issued an advisory letter to the pet groomer to implement mitigation measures, such as installing air purifiers and cleaning the pet grooming area daily.

We do not have data on the number of pet groomers operating from residential addresses.
