Just tried Fort Canine for the first time and was not impressed. Despite its strategic location in a 'central' area, it seems like much improvement is still needed. All three areas share one common entry and exit point: grooming, physio, and pool. I would have assumed the design of the workflow would have been approved by dog experts given such an established brand name in SG, but, disappointingly, this is not the case. What happens if there's a dog that seems uncomfortable with the incoming crowd? What happens if there's a disruptive dog in either of the groups incoming or outgoing from the pool, grooming place, or physio? There are simply no alternative routes, and dogs are being forced to ‘face’ their triggers. This is a big no-no for me. As a seasoned professional in the industry, this mindlessness is simply unacceptable.

The pool was heated and fairly clean. You can still see lots of fur floating around, which is kind of expected. The water was slightly murky, which I hope is due to the minerals. One thing I didn't like was that they didn't check whether the dogs had their vaccinations or positive titer test, which they stated on their website were required. I'd rather not have something like this based on a trust system, considering one of the dogs puked in the pool (but was quickly cleaned up). All in all, the facility was quite nice and clean considering the number of dogs. But please check the basic health of the dogs entering.

We came to Mutts & Mittens Active at Clarke Quay specifically for what they claimed to be a mineral pool for dogs. What we actually got was a pool reeking of chlorine, no different from a public swimming pool. There was absolutely nothing “mineral” about it. Our dogs’ fur felt dry and rough after the swim, even after a thorough rinse and conditioning, which has never happened at actual mineral pools. If their idea of a mineral pool is just chlorine water with a fancy label, that’s incredibly misleading. It's misleading to advertise something premium if you're not going to deliver on it. It’s disappointing and frankly quite frustrating. The team seriously needs to be honest about the kind of water treatment they use, because this felt like false advertising.

Had a wonderful experience at the pool! Best dog pool we went to by far. The place was clean and air-conditioned. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. It's a big plus that they also have dedicated shower cubicles and drying rooms with dryers provided. Will visit again soon!

Nice new place for furkids to try swimming. Clean facilities and friendly staff. There are shower and drying booths. But the water could be a bit warmer, as a few small dogs were shivering. Also, the chloramine smell was strong.
Sabrina Tan
We really loved the interior and the whole vibe as soon as we stepped into Fort Canine! It was my dog’s first time, and Butti (we hope we spelled his name correctly!) was super friendly and helpful. The place was clean and comfortable for using the dog bathing and drying facilities. We also appreciated that they had a changing room for the humans.

This is an indoor doggie play pool. Owners get up close and personal with the doggies when they swim. Self-service shower and blow-dry facilities are available, which makes it so convenient. Within the same compound, there are also doggie grooming and physio rehab services available. I have been there a few times with my dog and will be going back again.

Such a fun experience for both me and my dog! The pool is super clean, and the staff were so friendly and patient. It was my pup’s first swim, and the staff guided us through everything — life jacket, shallow entry, the works. Loved the setup and will definitely be back!

Absolutely love this place!
Brought my dog here for a swim on Saturday, and it was a great experience. The pool is super clean, spacious, and I believe they designed it well. It even has a platform in the pool where my dog can rest.
The staff were super friendly and helpful. Brendan gave us tips since it was my dog’s first time swimming. We were initially worried since it was his first time, but he ended up being all good – perhaps even a natural! Overall, we felt really welcome and at ease.
Highly recommend for pawrents who want to bring their dog to swim.

As a dog owner, I’ve brought my pup swimming at several places around the island — but the indoor dog pool at Mutts & Mittens Active (Fort Canine) truly stands out. From the moment we stepped in, I was impressed by how clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed the space was.
The pool is fully sheltered (great for Singapore’s unpredictable weather), and the mineral water is gentle on my dog’s skin. My pup isn’t the strongest swimmer, but the sloped entry and provided flotation jackets made the experience super easy and stress-free. I could tell he felt safe and confident — and the heated pool was the icing on the cake, keeping both dogs and paw-rents comfortable throughout the session.
The staff were friendly, patient, and very attentive, even guiding my dog through his first few laps. It’s rare to find a place that’s both fun and safe for our furry companions — but this place nails it. Highly recommend to any Singaporean paw-rents looking for a top-notch swim experience!

What a lovely establishment that is clean and pleasant for both dogs and owners!
Their staff helped find the appropriate life jacket size to fit my dog. They even played with my dogs! 🥹
Shower area and blow dry area are so clean and hygienic too!
I only wish their pool is bigger. Overall, a superb experience and good pool size for small dogs.
Can you please open a bigger pool for medium- to large-sized dogs soon!! 🫶🏻

I brought my pup for his very first swim at Mutts & Mittens Active Clarke Quay! I really liked the interior and space in general – it was so clean, and I could tell it was clearly built with our doggos in mind. There were some rest areas in the pool, life jackets, and even a gradual sloping floor at the start of the pool, which I found very thoughtful, especially for my pup's first time swimming. The swimming pool was very clean, and they even had toys available for us to play with our doggo! Overall, it was a very good experience, and I would definitely bring my baby back for another swim session. 🥰
Highly recommended for all pawrents who want a nice, fun bonding time with your furkid! ☺️

Before booking my dog’s first swim at Mutts and Mittens Active Clarke Quay, I asked some questions on WhatsApp. They gave great advice to make sure my dog wouldn’t get overwhelmed, which I really appreciated.
At the pool, the lady and guy tending to my dog were very nice, patient, and attentive. They helped him pick out a life vest and gave him a float to keep his neck up. My dog had so much fun, even though he accidentally jumped into the pool twice!
They even took videos and posted them on Instagram Stories, then kindly shared the videos with me upon request. Wonderful experience all around — thank you!
Jaslyn
Brought our lab for his first ever swim. The pool was clean, and the staff were really friendly, helpful, and very encouraging. They even taught our dog how to swim! 😂
Bonus points: life jackets that fit our 35kg dog!!! and a blow dryer for doggos.
Edwin Tan
Really impressed with the service and care at the pet swimming pool in Clarke Quay! The Chinese staff member was so proactive that she made sure all the dogs had fun and stayed safe. Her eyes were sharp as an eagle's, always watching out for any hazards. You can tell she genuinely loves working with animals.
The Myanmar staff were just as great — very efficient in cleaning up any pee or poo accidents quickly. The whole team clearly takes pride in their work and shows real job satisfaction.
What stood out even more was how clean the place is. They clean the pool and surrounding area thoroughly after every session. Compared to another dog swimming pool we visited, this one is much cleaner and better managed.
We’ve been to other boarding houses under the same boss, but the Clarke Quay staff are exceptional. Boss, if you're reading this — your team here deserves recognition. Please do something to show them your appreciation! They're the reason customers like us keep coming back.
Highly recommended for all pet owners!
