## Licences
- **Licence to operate a veterinary centre** (Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS), NParks, required): Emergency clinics and animal hospitals must be AVS-licensed and under a vet's control at all times. Check: https://avs.nparks.gov.sg/outreach/resources/public-registry-of-avs-licensed-veterinary-centres/

## How to choose
- Call before you drive: confirm a vet is on site overnight (not on call) and ask for the emergency consultation fee.
- Ask for a written estimate before major tests or surgery, and agree a spending limit at which they must call you.
- Bring your pet's medical records, medication and any packaging of something it may have eaten.
- If you have pet insurance, check emergency and hospitalisation limits and whether you must pay first and claim later.

## Red flags
- No estimate given before expensive diagnostics or surgery in a non-life-threatening case.
- The clinic is not on AVS's licensed veterinary centre registry.

## FAQs
### How much does an emergency vet cost in Singapore?
As of June 2026, after-hours surcharges add roughly $150–500 on top of treatment, hospitalisation costs $200–500 a night and X-rays $100–250. A serious emergency with diagnostics, surgery and several nights in hospital can run into thousands, so ask for an estimate and agree a spending limit.

### When should I take my pet to a 24-hour vet?
Go immediately for breathing difficulty, collapse, seizures, suspected poisoning, bloated abdomen, heavy bleeding, inability to urinate, or trauma such as a fall or road accident. If unsure, call the emergency vet and describe the symptoms; they can tell you whether it can wait for your regular vet.

### Are emergency vets licensed?
Yes. Every veterinary clinic and animal hospital in Singapore must hold an AVS veterinary centre licence and be under the control of a veterinary surgeon at all times, and each vet needs an AVS licence. AVS publishes a public registry of licensed veterinary centres.
