Emergency Vet Clinic in Singapore
Vets for Life Animal Clinic has a total of three branches in Singapore. The first clinic, situated at Tanjong Katong Road, was established in 2013.

In 2015, we opened our second clinic at River Valley. And in early 2020, we expanded our family with the opening of our third clinic at Upper bukit Timah. Our fully equipped clinics offer a comprehensive range of veterinary health services.

Here at Vets for Life, you will find our veterinarians working in a close collegiate environment, supported by a team of senior veterinary technicians, many of whom are themselves qualified veterinarians with a wealth of experience, knowledge and skills.
