ABOUT URBAN PAWS
Our Story, Team & Facilities
Our Story
Urban Paws started in the mid-2000s as a small animal concept and has since grown into a full-service pet care center across Singapore.
Our Mission
We want to make essential pet services accessible and supportive for both pets and their owners in Singapore’s urban landscape. We provide pet services designed to enrich the lives of city-dwelling furkids and support the diverse needs of their owners.
By addressing the physical, emotional, and social needs of pets, we want to ease the responsibilities of urban pet ownership. Our foundation of empathy and expertise ensures that every service is delivered with the highest standards of care, creating a trusted community for both furkids and their families across our island-wide locations.

Marrying her love for business and passion for animals, Laura founded Urban Paws as a full service concept.
