Singapore 24-Hour Emergency Vet Hospitals
Pet A&E across the island — central, east, and west coverage
Singapore's emergency veterinary network is small but well-distributed. A handful of clinics on the island provide round-the-clock pet A&E, clustered around the central districts (Novena, Bukit Timah, Bukit Merah) and a couple of suburban hubs (Bedok in the east, Serangoon in the north-east). From most parts of Singapore you can reach a 24-hour vet inside 30–45 minutes — long enough that minutes matter, short enough that planning ahead makes a real difference.
A few practical things to know about Singapore's setup:
- There is no single national pet-emergency hotline. Each 24-hour hospital maintains its own after-hours line. Save 2–3 numbers in your phone before you need them. The Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) regulates the licensing of vets but does not run triage.
- Some emergency hospitals are also specialist referral centres. That means an animal admitted overnight can move directly to specialist care in the morning — internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, neurology, oncology — without changing hospitals. Ask the on-duty vet whether your case may need that pathway.
- Public holidays and Chinese New Year coverage stays open, but staffing is lighter than usual. Call ahead — the on-duty triage nurse can tell you whether to come in immediately or wait.
- Emergency consultation fees are higher than daytime fees, and Singapore vet clinics cannot publish fixed price lists. Ask for a written estimate at intake, ideally separating "stabilisation" from "full treatment".

A small handful. The exact number changes as clinics add or drop after-hours coverage. The list below reflects the clinics whose published hours include 24/7 operation as of the page's last refresh.
No. Each 24-hour hospital has its own after-hours line. Save 2–3 numbers before you need them. AVS regulates clinics but does not run a triage service.
The 24-hour hospitals listed here stay open all year, including CNY and public holidays, but staffing is lighter than usual. Always call ahead.
Typically 30–45 minutes. The hospitals are concentrated centrally with one in the east and one in the north-east, so coverage is reasonable across the island.
Calling first is better. The on-duty vet may already be in surgery or managing a critical case; a phone call lets them triage you and warn if they're temporarily unable to accept new emergencies.
It varies. Pethealthmap doesn't publish vet fees because pricing varies by clinic and the SVA advises against fixed price lists. Ask for a written estimate at intake.

Visit notes
- •Phone the clinic before setting off — the triage nurse can warn you if they're temporarily at capacity
- •Take any packaging, plant material or medication you suspect of poisoning
- •Carry the animal in a hard-sided carrier (cats) or on a rigid surface (suspected spinal injury in dogs)
- •Do not give human painkillers — paracetamol is lethal to cats, ibuprofen damages kidneys in both species
- •Bring vaccination card, current medications list, and your regular clinic's contact details
- •Ask for a written estimate at intake; separate stabilisation from full treatment
