Are there vets open 24 hours in Singapore?

Yes. Several animal hospitals in Singapore keep a veterinary team on site around the clock, including overnight, weekends and public holidays. Hours still change, so use the live directory with the 24 Hours and Open Now filters instead of a remembered list. Call the hospital before you travel so the team can prepare for your arrival.

How much does an emergency vet visit cost in Singapore?

Emergency and after-hours visits usually cost more than a weekday consult because a hospital team, equipment and diagnostics stay available overnight. The first charge is typically an emergency consultation; tests, fluids, surgery or hospitalisation are extra. Ask for an estimate after the examination. Fees change, so call the clinic for a current range rather than relying on an old quote.

What counts as a pet emergency?

Treat difficulty breathing, collapse, seizures, suspected poisoning, severe bleeding, inability to stand or urinate, and trauma as emergencies. Sudden bloating, repeated unproductive retching, or a blocked male cat also need urgent care. If you are unsure, call a 24-hour animal clinic in Singapore and describe what you see rather than waiting for a regular appointment.

See 24-hour vets open now

If your pet is unwell at an odd hour, you need a 24 hour vet in Singapore you can actually reach — not a list that went stale last month.

This page sends you to the live directory, already filtered to 24-hour animal clinics that are open now, so you can call and leave. Hours change; the filter does not.

How to tell if it's an emergency

A neighbourhood clinic can wait until morning for mild itching, a routine vaccine, or a wound that has already stopped bleeding. These signs should not wait for opening hours:

Difficulty breathing, choking, pale or blue gums, or collapse
Suspected poisoning, including chocolate, grapes, xylitol, lilies, rat bait and human medication
Severe bleeding, a deep wound, or trauma from a road accident or high-rise fall
Seizures, sudden disorientation, or inability to stand
Repeated vomiting or unproductive retching, especially in a large dog
Straining to urinate, particularly in a male cat
A labour that has stalled, or a swollen, painful abdomen

When you are unsure, treat it as urgent. Filter the directory to 24-hour clinics and phone one. Describing what you see takes a minute and is safer than waiting it out.

This list is general guidance, not a diagnosis. A veterinarian who can examine your pet decides what is needed.

What to do before you go

You do not need a perfect plan. A few steps make the visit faster and safer for everyone in the car.

Call ahead. Tell them the species, what happened, when it started, and how your pet is breathing. They will confirm they can receive you and may give transport advice.
Bring identification: your own ID if asked, plus your pet’s microchip number or licence details if you have them.
Keep the animal calm and warm. Cats and small pets travel in a secure carrier. For a dog in pain, use a well-fitted muzzle only if it can still breathe easily.
If you suspect poisoning, bring the packet, plant or a photo of the product. The ingredient list matters more than the brand name you remember.
Note current medications and your regular vet’s name so records can be requested.

Do not induce vomiting or give human painkillers unless a veterinarian tells you to. If you are not sure a 24-hour hospital is the closest option at this hour, check which vets are open now and call the nearest one.

24-hour vs. after-hours vet: what's the difference

“Emergency vet Singapore” and “24 hour animal clinic Singapore” get used interchangeably online, but they are not the same thing.

A true 24-hour hospital keeps a veterinary team on site around the clock, including overnight, Sundays and public holidays. You can arrive at 3am.

An after-hours or late clinic may stay open until 9pm or 11pm, or offer an on-call number that redirects you somewhere else. Some advertise emergency consults during extended evening hours but close overnight.

Always check today’s hours. A clinic that is usually 24/7 may still have a temporary closure. That is why this page does not list names: use the 24 Hours and Open Now filters so you only see places that are staffed right now.

If the problem can wait until morning, book your regular vet. Overnight hospitals are set up for unstable patients. They are not a substitute for routine care, and after-hours fees are typically higher.

Need a Sunday appointment instead?

Not an emergency, just need a Sunday appointment? See our Vet Clinics Open on Sunday in Singapore list instead. That page uses the live directory’s Sunday filter, so you can book a routine visit when overnight care is not required.
