Canberra is one of the newest neighbourhoods on this list — the MRT station only opened in 2019, and most of the flats around it are newer than that. It sits in the gap between Yishun and Sembawang and is served by groomers who cover both.
New estate, new dogs: Canberra has an unusually high share of households on their first dog, which is why so many of the grooming requests from this postcode are first grooms and puppy grooms rather than routine maintenance.

HDB dogs and grooming in Canberra
Canberra is new-build HDB with a young household profile, and that produces a specific grooming pattern: lots of small approved breeds bought as puppies within the last few years, now hitting the age where their adult coat comes in and suddenly mats. Owners are often surprised the first time — a Poodle or Maltipoo that never tangled at eight months can mat badly at fourteen. If your dog's coat has changed recently, say so; it usually means a de-matting assessment rather than a standard groom.
