Kovan is a small, well-defined pocket around the MRT station and Upper Serangoon Road, and it is unusual for the north-east in having as much landed housing as HDB. That housing mix is the single most useful fact about grooming here.
Landed streets mean bigger dogs, garden access, and dogs that are outdoors far more than the island average — which in Singapore's climate means more coat problems, not fewer. Damp undercoat, hot spots and paw irritation are ordinary here in a way they are not in a high-floor flat.

HDB dogs and grooming in Kovan
Kovan's landed streets change the grooming brief completely. A dog with garden access in Singapore is damp for a good part of the day, and a damp double coat that never fully dries is how you get hot spots and that sour smell owners describe as 'wet dog that stays wet'. The fix is not a shave — it is a proper high-velocity blow-out to the skin at every groom, which takes longer and is not something every small-breed studio is set up to do well. Tell us if your dog has garden access.
