## Licences
- **Licence to operate a veterinary centre** (Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS), NParks, required): Any clinic or animal hospital must be licensed by AVS, be under the control of a veterinary surgeon at all times, and is subject to AVS inspection. Check: https://avs.nparks.gov.sg/outreach/resources/public-registry-of-avs-licensed-veterinary-centres/
- **Licence to practise veterinary medicine** (Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS), NParks, required): Each vet treating animals must hold an AVS licence and follow the Code of Ethics for Veterinarians.

## How to choose
- Check the clinic is on AVS's public registry of licensed veterinary centres; the list is updated several times a year.
- Ask for the consultation fee and the weekend or evening surcharge up front. The same consult can be $35 on a weekday and $50 on a weekend at one clinic.
- For surgery, get an itemised estimate covering anaesthesia, blood tests, medication and the cone, not just the headline sterilisation price.
- Find your nearest 24-hour or emergency vet before you need one; after-hours surcharges of $150–500 on top of treatment are common.
- If your pet dies and you want a post-mortem, it must be submitted by a referring vet; AVS's lab no longer accepts submissions from the public (from 1 January 2025).

## Red flags
- The clinic is not on AVS's registry of licensed veterinary centres.
- Vague verbal estimates for surgery with no written breakdown.
- Pressure to buy large prepaid wellness packages on the first visit.

Core vaccines run $14–90 a shot and microchipping $55–90. Expect weekend, evening and public holiday surcharges, and confirm whether quotes include GST.

### Do I need a licence for my dog or cat in Singapore?
Yes. All cats and dogs must be licensed through AVS's Pet Animal Licensing System (PALS). A sterilised pet costs $15 for one year or $35 for a one-time lifetime licence; a non-sterilised pet costs $90 a year. First-time applicants must complete a free online pet ownership course. Cat licensing became compulsory after the transition period ended on 31 August 2026.

### How much does it cost to sterilise a cat or dog?
As of June 2026, cat neutering started from about $185 at budget clinics and spaying from about $280, with mid-to-premium clinics charging up to about $500. Dog sterilisation started from about $455 for males and $490 for females, rising to $800 or more for large dogs. Sterilised pets also get much cheaper AVS licences.

### How do I check if a vet clinic is licensed?
AVS publishes a public registry of licensed veterinary centres on its website, listing each clinic's name and address. Every clinic or animal hospital must hold an AVS veterinary centre licence and be under a vet's control at all times, and every practising vet needs an AVS licence. You can report concerns to AVS via its feedback channels.
