The Face of Angie’s Pets
As a Pet owner,
perhaps the only time you’d ever get to see the groomer is naturally the time
your Pets are getting a little too scruffy. Human nature brings about curiosity
in not just how your favourite groomer handles your Pets, because the amount of
trust a pet owner places in a Groomer or Veterinarian goes way beyond skills,
you’d often want to find out more about them, as that pretty much sums up their
character and personality.
Just how well do you know your Pet groomer?
Who Is Angie Png
Having spent two
eye-opening days with Angie’s Pets, we not only got a sneak peek into the works of a mobile Rabbit groomer for an honest review, we forged a friendship and
better understanding of the face behind the business, Angie Png. The business
probably requires no further introduction, but we grew intrigued by her
background, and how her popularity as a Rabbit Groomer flourished.

“I didn’t have any pets while growing up, only when I was in my 30s I got
my first pet, and it was a Dog.”
- Angie
Why is her story
share-worthy you ask? Isn’t it intriguing that a professional like her had no
background with regards to animals, and in fact does such a good job now? Well
folks, that is exactly what we’re about to find out.
Does She Truly Love Animals?
We asked Angie what
sparked her interest in animals, having grown up with no pets at a young age,
and previous jobs in countless of industries. All except Pets. Her grooming
skills were self-taught, by grooming her own bunnies and constant
research.

on. She carries around a plush keychain of that very Schnauzer. Have you seen
it before ☺ ?
And that did not stop
there, as of now, Angie has 4 Dogs, 5 Cats aside from Rabbits and Guinea Pigs.
Quite frankly, her home is almost like a barn with a smorgasbord of animals.
Let’s not forget to mention, that shelter volunteers often drop by just to help
out and bring the Dogs for a walk. Why so? Simply because, most of Angie’s own
pets are adopted and rescued. We later found out that almost every single pet
has existing health issues, such as cancer. Because of these issues, they were
left abandoned or unwanted before Angie took them home.

“I feel the need of providing these animals with a safe place they can
call home, and feel a sense of belonging before they pass on, in peace”
- Angie, on her home as a sanctuary for
unwanted pets
Why Is She Doing So Much?
The impending
question everyone eventually asks themselves about a Pet service is whether
they truly love animals, or is this just strictly monetary. Angie was very
frank with the fact that her business is indeed her rice bowl, but most of the
money goes to healthcare needs for her Pets. And as we all know, Vet bills can
be extremely costly. But what else is there to it?
“I’m transparent with everyone…I used to be a Rabbit breeder when I was
much younger. But after coming across so many incidents of people abandoning
their Rabbits on my shop front, I took a major shift.”
- Angie, the cold hard truth
Even groomers need some personal grooming too! |
Aside from that, Angie
also explained her own experience with Animal Communication, which revealed her
past (apparently she wasn’t very nice to
Rabbits) and that led to a life-changing moment in her career, it became
her utmost motivation to be her best in Rabbit grooming. Skeptics and
non-believers may tell you otherwise about Animal Communication, but we feel
that it did make a good impact in this case, be it for the Rabbits, and
herself. Don’t you agree?
Contributions To The Pets Community
Besides grooming, we
already knew that Angie is often invited to speak at Pet events (that’s how we met her), on Rabbit
Handling and Care tips. But what you may not know, is that she is a familiar
face at local schools too! Children are often easily drawn to having a Pet, and
given how much parents love their kids, the chances of impulsive buying or impulsive
adopting are high. Giving talks and demonstrations at schools are part of
Angie’s efforts to educate the younger generations on ownership
responsibilities.
“If I were extremely rich, I would want to own a huge plot of land, have my
house on it, and a giant open space where animals can roam around. This place
would also be open to children to come for a stay and help look after the
animals, and won’t end up neglecting them. It’s not just about cuddly, furry
fun, they must learn that it is a lot of responsibility too…”
- Angie, on educating the young
Angie and her partner
Tia are also active volunteers at Uncle Khoe’s K9 Shelter. On their freer days
such as Sunday or Family Day as Angie calls it, they enjoy a relaxing time on
the beach with their Dogs, take a good stroll and enjoy a nice cooling
beverage. We are all humans after all, and they sure do deserve a quick break
once in a while as well ☺

One of the biggest benefits of automatic dog feeder is that they can help reduce your pet's anxiety around feeding time. Dogs are creatures of habit and thrive on routine. If your dog is used to being fed at a certain time each day, they may become anxious or even destructive if that routine is disrupted. An automatic feeder can help maintain that routine, even when you're not able to be there.
