Quality. Creativity. Passion.
Here at the Animal Arts Academy, our goal is to provide the best care for your pets. Our certified, award winning groomers are committed to deliver the best possible experience for you and your pets.
When we are not serving you, our groomers are taking part in grooming competitions, or upgrading themselves with advanced courses. We made a commitment to stay atop the latest trends and grooming techniques.
Like we said, only the best.



Co-founded in 2006 by our director Kingsly Tan, Animal Arts Academy began as a salon at Singapore’s VivoCity The Pet Safari. Animal Arts Academy provides only the best for your pets – with quality, creativity and passion.

We believe in helping groomers reach whole new levels of expertise. Our graduates are proficient and professional, compassionate and genuinely care for the pets they work with.
Our training courses includes an industry immersion program where you will learn and gain professional exposure alongside our stylists at one of our grooming salons. Jobs may even be available within our salons for you to join upon your successful completion of our courses!
Our education program is dynamic, exciting and fulfilling. Many of our students have benefited from our professional courses to become top pet grooming award winners and also successful entrepreneurs where they have started their own pet shops and grooming salons.
We aim to continue to develop successful pet stylists for the industry!
Our Creative Winning Team.
Quality. Creativity. Passion.

Kingsly Tan
Director & Principal
Our Principal Kingsly Tan is a certified master groomer by the Singapore Kennel Club and an A class groomer with the Kennel Club of Taiwan (KCT). Despite having achieved recognition, Kingsly believes in constantly upgrading himself and developing new grooming techniques to share with his students. Always seeking to improve himself, our principal is also active in conformation dog shows – poodles, bichons and miniature schnauzers are his speciality. Kingsly has bagged many awards to date, including Best in Show.
In his youth, Kingsly travelled extensively, studying the art of pet grooming in different countries – Canada, the United States, China and Taiwan, to name a few. In his studies he discovered that pet grooming was very different in the East and the West. Pet groomers in Canada, America and Europe had a far better understanding of pet anatomy and body profiles, and held themselves to very high standards of workmanship. Pet groomers in the East possessed superior skills with their scissors – their scissoring was far more intricate and meticulous than their western counterparts.
Kingsly has been invited by Artero to conduct grooming seminar in Spain and Malaysia. Artero Jornadas Spain is the biggest grooming show internationally where all the top groomers around the world are invited.
In 2015, Kingsly was appointed to become a grooming judge by the Singapore Kennel club and had since been invited by the Malaysia Kennel association and Korea Kennel Federation to judge in their grooming contest and examination.
Having studied under both traditions of pet grooming, Kingsly put together what he had learned, and developed a special, unique technique of pet grooming. It is a style that combines the best of the East and the West, and here at the Animal Arts Academy, it is Kingsly’s personal mission to teach this technique to his students.
