10 Best Veterinary Clinics in Singapore (2026)

Before jumping into the list, here are the five criteria I used to evaluate every clinic. These are worth checking regardless of which vet you choose.

• AVS licensing. Every veterinary centre in Singapore must be licensed by the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) under NParks. Their public registry lets you verify any clinic before your first visit. If a clinic is not on the list, do not bring your pet there.
• Species expertise. A clinic that sees 95% dogs may not be the right fit for your rabbit or parrot. Some clinics are certified cat-friendly by the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM). Others have board-certified exotic animal specialists. Match the clinic to your pet, not the other way around.
• Emergency capability. Pets do not schedule their emergencies for office hours. If your pet has a chronic condition or you simply want peace of mind, knowing your clinic offers after-hours or 24/7 emergency care matters. Only a handful of clinics in Singapore operate true round-the-clock emergency services.
• Transparent pricing. Vet bills in Singapore add up fast. A basic consultation ranges from S$25 to S$120 depending on the clinic. Vaccinations, blood work, dental cleaning, and surgery all stack on top. The best clinics publish price guides or give clear estimates before treatment begins.
• Verified reviews. I cross-referenced Google reviews, Yelp ratings, and mentions on pet community platforms like Pawlyclinic and Vanillapup. A clinic with hundreds of genuine reviews and a rating above 4.5 has earned that trust through consistent care. Pay attention to how clinics respond to negative reviews; that tells you more than the positive ones.
• Online presence. A clinic's website tells you a lot about how they run their practice. Clear service listings, published pricing, an online booking system, and helpful educational content are signs of a well-managed operation. Clinics that invest in their web design tend to invest in their patient experience too.

With eight clinics spread across Singapore and over 30 years of history, Mount Pleasant is the closest thing the island has to a household-name vet group. Whether you live in Clementi, Toa Payoh, Ang Mo Kio, or the East Coast, there is likely a Mount Pleasant branch within a reasonable drive. That kind of geographic coverage is rare in Singapore's veterinary landscape, and it matters when you need to get a sick pet seen quickly.

Beyond convenience, Mount Pleasant has built genuine depth in areas like veterinary ophthalmology, dermatology, and ultrasonography. Their Animal Medical Centre operates as a 24-hour tertiary care facility, meaning complex cases and emergencies can be handled without referring you elsewhere. The group joined the Mars Veterinary Health family in 2021, giving them access to international resources and specialist networks while maintaining their local identity.

The trade-off is that experience at Mount Pleasant can vary between branches and individual vets. With a large team across multiple locations, consistency is harder to guarantee than at a single-vet boutique practice. That said, the group's longevity speaks for itself: clinics do not survive 30 years in Singapore without earning repeat trust from pet owners.

Website: mountpleasant.com.sg
Best for: Pet owners who want a reliable clinic close to home, with access to specialists and 24-hour emergency care.
Pricing: Consultation from approximately S$50 to S$70; varies by branch and service (as of 2026).
Standout strength: 8 clinics island-wide including a 24-hour tertiary care centre, with over 30 years of Singapore operations.

Located in Siglap, Amber Vet punches well above what you would expect from a neighbourhood clinic. They are one of the few veterinary practices in Singapore that conduct chemotherapy, laparoscopy, endoscopy, and eye surgeries in-house. For pets with complex or serious medical conditions, that means fewer referrals, fewer transfers between clinics, and a more cohesive treatment plan managed by a team that already knows your animal.

Long-term clients consistently praise two things: the clinic's cleanliness and the feeling that their pet is never treated as just another number. Dr Sharon, one of the vets on the team, is frequently mentioned in reviews for being gentle, patient with explanations, and thorough in her approach. The consultation fee sits at S$45, which is competitive for the level of diagnostic capability on offer. Pricing is described by reviewers as transparent, with itemised bills that justify each charge.

Amber Vet also operates Amber Cat Vet, a dedicated feline clinic at a separate Burnfoot Terrace location. If you have a cat that gets stressed around dogs in the waiting room, the separate facility is worth knowing about. The main limitation is location: if you live in the West or North, the East Coast trip may not be convenient for routine visits.

Website: ambervet.com
Best for: Pets needing advanced diagnostics, cancer treatment, or minimally invasive surgery.
Pricing: Consultation from S$45; advanced procedures priced on case complexity (as of 2026).
Standout strength: One of the few Singapore clinics offering chemotherapy, laparoscopy, and endoscopy in-house.

When your pet is in crisis at 2am, VES Hospital on Whitley Road is where many Singapore vets will tell you to go. As the first full-service veterinary hospital recognised by AVS in Singapore, VES operates a true 24/7 emergency department staffed by what is widely considered the largest and most experienced veterinary emergency team on the island. They are also the only Singapore hospital with two board-certified Emergency and Critical Care specialists on staff.

VES functions like a human hospital in structure. There are separate departments for surgery, neurology, internal medicine, and critical care, each staffed by specialists and referral clinicians. The ICU is fully equipped for continuous monitoring, and the hospital has seamless access to advanced imaging including CT and MRI. When your regular vet encounters something beyond their capability, VES is where they send you.

The main consideration is cost. Specialist hospital care comes at specialist prices, and several reviewers mention that bills can be higher than expected. That said, 76% of reviewers recommend the hospital, and the overwhelming sentiment is that the quality of care justifies the investment. VES is not your everyday clinic for vaccinations and check-ups; it is the place you want to know about for the times when those everyday clinics are not enough.

Website: veshospital.com.sg
Best for: Pet emergencies, specialist referrals, and complex medical or surgical cases.
Pricing: Emergency consultation from approximately S$150 to S$250; specialist fees vary by department (as of 2026).
Standout strength: Singapore's first AVS-recognised full-service veterinary hospital with 24/7 emergency care and two board-certified critical care specialists.

Cat owners know the struggle: your cat is already stressed before you leave the house, and then it has to sit in a waiting room surrounded by barking dogs. Oasis Vet on Venus Road solves that problem properly. They hold Silver-level Cat-Friendly Clinic certification from the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM), a worldwide accreditation that only a handful of Singapore clinics have achieved.

What does cat-friendly actually look like in practice? A dedicated cat-only waiting area with raised surfaces for carriers, keeping your cat away from the sight and sound of dogs. A separate cat ward positioned away from the dog ward so hospitalised felines are not stressed by canine neighbours. And a team trained in low-stress feline handling techniques, including a no-scruffing policy unless absolutely medically necessary. These are not marketing gimmicks; they are evidence-based practices that reduce cortisol levels and lead to more accurate examinations.

Dr Nair and Dr Eunice are regularly mentioned in reviews for being gentle, communicative, and genuinely good with anxious cats. The clinic also handles dogs and general practice work, so it is not exclusively feline. But if your cat turns into a hissing, scratching ball of fury at the vet, Oasis is the clinic most likely to change that experience.

Website: oasis-vet.com
Best for: Cat owners who want a certified low-stress environment for their feline.
Pricing: Standard consultation fees; contact clinic for current rates (as of 2026).
Standout strength: ISFM Silver Cat-Friendly Clinic certification with dedicated cat-only waiting area and ward.

There comes a point in every pet's life where the focus shifts from curing to caring. The Gentle Vet was built for that stage. They specialise in geriatric, palliative, and hospice care, providing comfort-focused treatment for elderly and terminally ill animals. When other clinics are offering aggressive intervention, The Gentle Vet asks a different question: what will give this pet the best quality of life for the time it has left?

Their approach is rooted in the Fear Free methodology, which means every interaction is designed to minimise stress, anxiety, and fear. That matters especially for senior pets, who are more vulnerable to the physical effects of veterinary anxiety. Services include pain management, nutritional planning, mobility aids, adaptive care plans that evolve as a pet's condition changes, and guidance for owners navigating end-of-life decisions. They also offer home visits for hospice care, recognising that a familiar environment is often better for a dying pet than a clinic.

With a 4.7 rating from over 100 reviews, clients consistently highlight the warmth of the staff, the thoroughness of the vets, and the transparency around costs. This is not the clinic for a puppy's first vaccination. It is the clinic you will be grateful to know about when your 14-year-old dog is diagnosed with something that cannot be fixed, and you need a team that understands the difference between prolonging life and prolonging suffering.

Website: thegentlevet.sg
Best for: Elderly pets, palliative care, hospice support, and end-of-life guidance.
Pricing: Contact clinic for consultation and hospice care rates (as of 2026).
Standout strength: Fear Free certified clinic specialising in geriatric, palliative, and hospice care with home visit options.

If you live in Bedok, Tampines, Pasir Ris, or anywhere in the East, Advanced VetCare on Jalan Pari Burong is the 24/7 emergency clinic you should have bookmarked. Their emergency and critical care team is always on-site, not on-call, which means there is no waiting for a vet to drive in when your pet needs urgent attention at 3am. That distinction matters when minutes count.

The facility is equipped with an ICU, advanced diagnostic tools, and surgical suites capable of handling trauma, poisoning, seizures, and respiratory distress. Their veterinary team is consistently praised in reviews for professionalism, thoroughness, and transparency about treatment options. Multiple reviewers specifically mention successful surgical outcomes and the quality of post-operative care. The clinic also handles non-emergency appointments during regular hours, so you can use them as a primary care vet as well.

Location is the main limitation. If you live in the West, North, or Central Singapore, getting to Bedok during an emergency adds stress and travel time that could be critical. For East-siders, though, having a fully equipped 24/7 emergency clinic in the neighbourhood is genuinely reassuring. Booking regular appointments is described as easy, and the facility is consistently noted as clean and well-maintained.

Website: advancedvetcare.sg
Best for: East-side pet owners who need reliable 24/7 emergency veterinary care.
Pricing: Emergency consultation from approximately S$150; regular consultations at standard rates (as of 2026).
Standout strength: True 24/7 on-site emergency team in Bedok with ICU and advanced surgical capability.

Your dog just had knee surgery. The operation went well, but the vet says recovery will take months and physiotherapy will make a significant difference. Where do you go? In Singapore, the answer is almost always RehabVet on Serangoon Road. Founded in 2016, it is the country's first full-fledged animal rehabilitation clinic, and it remains the leading facility for veterinary physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, and acupuncture.

Led by Dr Sara Lam, a certified rehabilitation veterinarian and veterinary acupuncturist, the clinic offers the widest range of physical therapies available in Singapore. The facility includes underwater treadmills and heated pools for hydrotherapy, plus laser therapy and shockwave therapy equipment for addressing chronic pain and ligament injuries. Every treatment plan is customised to the individual animal, taking into account the specific condition, breed, age, and recovery goals.

RehabVet is not a general practice clinic. You will still need a primary vet for vaccinations, check-ups, and standard care. But for post-surgical rehabilitation, mobility issues, neurological recovery, and chronic pain management, there is nothing else quite like it in Singapore. Appointments book out in advance because of demand, so plan ahead if your pet has surgery scheduled. The service comes at a premium, but for pets that need rehabilitation to walk comfortably again, the investment is hard to argue against.

Website: rehabvet.com
Best for: Post-surgery rehabilitation, mobility recovery, chronic pain management, and physiotherapy.
Pricing: Premium tier; contact clinic for therapy package rates (as of 2026).
Standout strength: Singapore's first and leading veterinary rehabilitation clinic with hydrotherapy pools, underwater treadmills, and certified rehabilitation specialists.

Some pets simply cannot handle the vet clinic. Severely anxious animals, elderly dogs that struggle to walk, cats that become aggressive in carriers. For these pets, The Visiting Vets offers something most clinics do not: they come to you. Their housecall practice, led by Dr Kim Koh (a Melbourne University graduate with a focus on internal medicine), brings full health check-ups, vaccinations, microchipping, blood tests, heartworm prevention, and even home euthanasia services directly to your doorstep.

But The Visiting Vets is not just a mobile service. Their physical clinic at Taman Serasi is considered one of Singapore's leading practices for internal medicine. If your pet suffers from respiratory disease, diabetes, liver conditions, cancer, or chronic skin issues, the clinic's diagnostic capabilities go well beyond what most general practices offer. Reviews frequently highlight cases where The Visiting Vets identified and treated conditions that other clinics missed.

The combination of clinic expertise and house call flexibility is rare in Singapore. The limitation is availability: house calls are popular and the team is small, so booking in advance is essential. For routine vaccinations or minor issues, the house call service removes the stress of travel entirely. For serious internal medicine cases, the clinic delivers specialist-level care. Either way, your pet is treated by a team that genuinely prioritises comfort.

Website: thevisitingvets.com.sg
Best for: Pets with severe anxiety, mobility-limited animals, and owners who need veterinary care at home.
Pricing: House call fees typically S$125 to S$200 including transport; clinic consultation at standard rates (as of 2026).
Standout strength: Full house call veterinary service combined with specialist-level internal medicine expertise at their clinic.

Veterinary care in Singapore is entirely private with zero government subsidies, which means every consultation, vaccination, and blood test comes out of your own pocket. For pet owners on a tighter budget, Passion Vet in Woodlands offers something increasingly hard to find: quality care at genuinely affordable prices. Consultations cost S$48 for up to 30 minutes (S$58 for walk-ins), vaccinations are S$48, microchipping is S$55, and in-house blood tests start from S$99.

Those prices are well below the Singapore average without the cut corners you might expect. The clinic provides surgery, hospitalisation, in-house diagnostics (blood tests and ultrasound), and even Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture for pets. Staff are regularly described in reviews as true animal lovers who remember pets by name. One reviewer put it plainly: "The service was great and the vet was very gentle to my cat. All the staff were very patient with our questions. The price is very reasonable."

The main considerations are location and hours. Passion Vet is in Woodlands (Blk 111 St 13), which is convenient if you live in the North but a long trip from central or East Singapore. They are closed on Thursdays, Sundays, and public holidays, and their hours on other days vary. If you need weekend emergency care or 24/7 availability, this is not the clinic for that. But for routine care, vaccinations, and non-emergency treatments at honest prices, Passion Vet delivers consistently.

Website: passionvet.com
Best for: Budget-conscious pet owners in the North who want quality care without premium pricing.
Pricing: Consultation S$48 (30 min); vaccinations S$48; blood tests from S$99 (as of 2026).
Standout strength: Among the most affordable vet clinics in Singapore with published prices and a genuinely caring team.

If your pet is not a cat or a dog, finding a vet who actually knows what they are doing becomes significantly harder. Most general practice vets see exotics infrequently and may lack the specific knowledge needed for a parrot with respiratory issues or a rabbit with GI stasis. Beecroft Avian & Exotics, established in 2019 as part of Beecroft Animal Hospital, was built specifically to solve this problem. It is the only clinical service in Singapore with a recognised specialist in exotic companion mammals.

Led by Dr Rina Maguire (over 18 years of experience in exotic veterinary medicine) and Dr Athena Lim (Murdoch University graduate, awarded the Unusual Pet Vet Prize for her commitment to exotics), the team handles everything from rabbits and hamsters to birds, reptiles, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and fish. The department is supported by trained exotics nurses and equipped with specialised diagnostic tools and surgical suites designed for smaller, more delicate patients.

The clinic is located at Upper East Coast Road and operates as a dedicated specialist service. For exotic pet owners, this is not a general vet who "also sees rabbits." This is a facility where exotic animals are the primary focus, with the equipment, training, and experience to match. If your pet has feathers, scales, or long ears instead of fur, Beecroft Avian & Exotics is the clinic to know about.

Website: birdvet.com.sg
Best for: Owners of birds, rabbits, reptiles, hamsters, guinea pigs, and other exotic pets.
Pricing: Specialist-level consultation fees; contact clinic for rates (as of 2026).
Standout strength: Singapore's only veterinary service with a recognised specialist in exotic companion mammals, plus a dedicated avian specialist team.

Finding the right clinic comes down to matching your pet's specific needs with a vet's genuine strengths. Here is a practical checklist.

1. Identify your pet's primary needs first. A healthy young dog needs a different clinic than a 12-year-old cat with kidney disease. Routine wellness care, emergency access, specialist treatment, and rehabilitation are all different capabilities. Start with what your pet needs most right now.
2. Check AVS licensing. Every legitimate vet clinic in Singapore appears on the AVS public registry. This takes 30 seconds and confirms the clinic is legally authorised to operate. Non-negotiable.
3. Visit before you need to. Book a routine check-up or vaccination before an emergency forces you to pick a random clinic at midnight. Observe how the staff handle animals, how clean the facility is, and whether the vet takes time to explain things or rushes through the appointment.
4. Ask about after-hours protocols. What happens if your pet has an emergency at 11pm? Some clinics have 24/7 services. Others will direct you to a partner emergency hospital. Knowing this in advance removes panic from an already stressful situation.
5. Read reviews critically. Every clinic has a few negative reviews. What matters is the pattern. A clinic with 500 reviews averaging 4.7 stars and thoughtful responses to complaints is more trustworthy than a clinic with 15 perfect reviews. Pay attention to how the clinic responds to criticism.
6. Consider location seriously. The best vet in Singapore is not useful if they are a 45-minute drive away when your pet is vomiting at midnight. Prioritise quality, but do not ignore geography.

Veterinary care in Singapore is entirely privately funded with no government subsidies, so costs vary significantly between clinics. Here is a realistic breakdown of what to budget for in 2026.

• Basic consultation (S$25 to S$120): Budget clinics in HDB estates start from S$25 to S$50. Mid-range clinics charge S$40 to S$70. Premium hospitals and specialist centres charge S$80 to S$120. Most consultations last 15 to 30 minutes.
• Vaccinations (S$30 to S$80 per shot): Annual boosters for dogs and cats are essential. Core vaccinations typically cost S$40 to S$60 per dose. Some clinics bundle vaccinations with a health check at a slight discount.
• Dental cleaning (S$100 to S$500+): Basic scaling and polishing starts around S$100 to S$200. Extensive cleaning with extractions can run S$500 or more. Dental work requires general anaesthesia, which adds to the cost.
• Emergency visits (S$150 to S$250+): After-hours emergency consultations start at S$150 to S$250, with additional charges for diagnostics, medication, and procedures. A midnight emergency with blood work, X-rays, and overnight monitoring can easily exceed S$1,000.
• Surgery (S$500 to S$5,000+): Routine sterilisation costs S$200 to S$500. Orthopaedic surgery, tumour removal, or emergency procedures range from S$1,500 to S$5,000 or more depending on complexity.
• House call visits (S$125 to S$200+): Mobile vet services charge a premium for the convenience of home visits. Expect S$125 to S$200 for an initial consultation including transport, with treatment costs on top.

Pet insurance is worth considering if your pet is young and healthy. Policies typically cost S$20 to S$80 per month and can cover 80% of eligible veterinary expenses. The maths usually works in your favour if you start early, before pre-existing conditions are excluded.

How many vet clinics are there in Singapore?

Singapore has over 100 AVS-licensed veterinary centres, including clinics, hospitals, and mobile services. The full list is available on the AVS public registry. The number has grown steadily in recent years as pet ownership in Singapore has increased.

Which vet clinics in Singapore are open 24 hours?

True 24/7 emergency veterinary care is available at VES Hospital (Whitley Road), Advanced VetCare (Bedok), Mount Pleasant Animal Medical Centre, and Beecroft Animal Hospital (Telok Blangah). These clinics have on-site emergency teams around the clock, not just on-call vets. Some Pets Avenue branches also offer extended hours. Bookmark the one closest to your home before you need it.

Do I need a referral to see a vet specialist in Singapore?

It depends on the hospital. Beecroft Animal Hospital requires a referral from your primary care vet for specialist consultations. VES Hospital accepts both referrals and direct emergency admissions. Most general practice clinics will refer you to a specialist when they identify a case beyond their capability. Having a regular vet who knows your pet's history makes the referral process smoother.

Are there vets in Singapore that treat exotic pets?

Yes, but options are limited compared to cat and dog care. Beecroft Avian & Exotics is the only clinic in Singapore with a recognised specialist in exotic companion mammals. Other clinics that see exotics include Hillside Veterinary Surgery, Animal World Veterinary Clinic, and some Mount Pleasant branches. For birds specifically, the Animal & Avian Veterinary Clinic in Yishun is another option. Always confirm a vet's experience with your specific species before booking.

How often should I take my pet to the vet?

Healthy adult dogs and cats should see a vet at least once a year for a wellness check and vaccinations. Puppies and kittens need more frequent visits in their first year for their vaccination series. Senior pets (typically over 7 years) benefit from twice-yearly check-ups to catch age-related conditions early. Exotic pets have their own schedules; ask your vet for species-specific guidance.
