Our team is sincerely grateful for your patience and understanding during these times 💕

⚠️ Have you noticed longer waiting times at your local vet clinic? ⚠️

This is because there is currently a global veterinary staff shortage.

In Singapore, there are currently 474 licensed veterinarians, with a portion only working part-time or not working at all.

Estimated animal population, according to known data:
- 73,000 dogs
- 145,000 cats
- 80,000 small mammals (pets)
- Total: 298,000

👉 This means that 1 vet needs attend to at least 628 pets. (In human medicine, the doctor to population ratio is 1:385 in SG.)

👉 Every animal patient is commonly attended to by 1 vet and approximately 1-2 nurses each time.

👉 And for every emergency patient, usually the whole team dives in to help the patient!

Pet owners can consider making the following information readily accessible:

✔️ Information about changes in their local clinic's opening hours (which may be reduced due to recent COVID-induced staff shortages)

✔️ The location of the nearest animal emergency clinic/hospital

✔️ Remember to always phone ahead to alert the practice if presenting with an emergency

Vets, vet technicians & vet nurses are quitting the industry due to burnout, further adding to the manpower strain.

While your local veterinary team tries their best, please be kind to them and be patient.

2022 will be another challenging year for the local veterinary industry as we try our best to meet the increasing demand of pets and pet owners.

Let us work together to provide sustainable healthcare to our beloved animals. 💪😊
