We have our fair share of cat cafes in Singapore, so it’s time to give some attention to the dog lovers.
You now have yet another reason to visit the charming neighbourhood of Joo Chiat, thanks to this dog “cafe” that lets you cuddle with Samoyeds — yes, that fluffy cloud-like looking breed of dog.
The best part is, you can cuddle and play with them for a whole 45 minutes straight — yes please!
Snow Pawttage has a total of eight cute and energetic Samoyeds aged between seven months and five years old: Yeobo, Daebak, Miya, Bella, Sajangnim, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rose (BLINKS, you have no reason not to visit!)
These cuties are the cousins of the Siberian Husky, which explains their size and similar fur coat. Athough samoyeds are honestly super hard to tell apart, you’ll be able to identify the dogs here by their different coloured tails.
Before a session, the staff will go through a list of rules with you, after which you’ll step into the air-conditioned play area with a packet of dog treats (that we highly recommend you purchase) in hand.
I loved that the play area was clean and spacious, with bench seats, IG-worthy neon signs, and even a faux fireplace.
Each session starts off with an introduction to each samoyed, who each have a special set of skills to show off. Afterwards, it’ll be free and easy for all, so take the time to pat, play, feed, and and interact with them!
Tip: be the one holding the packet of treats if you want all the dogs to come up to (or even surround) you, albeit in a rather chaotic fashion.
Don’t worry, while the dogs are full of energy, they’re also super well-trained, friendly and very loving. Just look at their adorable faces! How can anyone resist not giving them a big hug?
The staff will also give you tips on how to interact with the samoyeds, find the right poses, and snap the perfect selfies (or x0.5 shots).
There will also be the opportunity to take a group photo with all the samoyeds at the end of the session, so you’re bound to leave with tons of happy memories and a-dog-able keepsakes.
The doggos behave so well around humans, we reckon you’ll have a hard time parting ways with them.
Oh, but do note that you won’t be able to find any real food for humans here. Outside food and drinks are also not allowed inside, which is fair considering dogs generally eat anything and everything they see.
Don’t fret, for you can simply hit up one of the many cafes and restaurants in the Joo Chiat area afterwards!
Instead, you can purchase dog treats for just S$10 to feed them — the perfect way to win their hearts. In true cafe fashion, the dog treats come in the form of a macaron made by Woofgang Bark (love the punny name).
Not gonna lie, at first glance these treats do look very much like macarons for humans, but trust me, they’re really meant for the dogs.
Prices for each 45-minute session with the Samoyeds are at S$40 from Mondays to Thursdays, and S$45 on weekends (Fridays to Sundays, including eve of public holidays and public holidays).
The schedule for weekends are fixed with each session at 11am, 12.30pm, 2.30pm, and 4pm, but if you’re thinking of heading down on a weekday, simply drop the team a message via Instagram DM.
Do note that Snow Pawttage does not allow children under 12 years old, while those between 13 and 16 years of age are required to have at least one adult as a companion.
So, if you are keen on spending some quality time with lovable doggos, you know where to go!
