Upper Thomson runs along the eastern edge of the central catchment area — landed streets, low-rise condominiums and the Sin Ming light-industrial strip, with MacRitchie Reservoir a short walk from most of it.
MacRitchie is the defining local fact. Dogs walked on the reservoir trails come back with genuinely dirty coats, wet paws and occasionally ticks, and the grooming that helps is a thorough wash and dry rather than a shorter cut.

HDB dogs and grooming in Upper Thomson
Upper Thomson is landed and low-rise private housing rather than HDB, with a dog population that skews larger and more active than the island norm because MacRitchie is on the doorstep. Trail dogs pick up two things flat dogs do not: ticks from the vegetation, and mud that dries into the undercoat and abrades the skin. A groomer who works the coat out properly and reports what they find on the skin is doing the useful part of the job here; the haircut is secondary.
