Whitley Road shophouse; central location close to the PIE; the kind of clinic well-located for owners coming in from multiple directions.

What this clinic is specifically known for is James Tan Veterinary Centre; long-established central clinic; broad routine and surgical caseload. The team is small team with decades on the same street. At the consultation, ask what the findings mean, which options are available and what should prompt a follow-up.

On hours and scope: Mon 9am - 12pm, 2:00 - 5pm, 6:30 - 9pm; Tue-Fri 9am - 12pm, 2:00 - 7.30pm; Sat 9am - 12pm; Sun Closed. This is a routine practice. For middle-of-the-night emergencies (collapse, bloat, suspected poisoning, anything that needs a CT scanner before sunrise), the call is to one of the 24-hour A&E hospitals on the emergency list, not here. For everything else (vaccination planning, sterilisation, the lump you noticed at the weekend, health changes in an older dog), this is the kind of practice that earns long-term trust.

Who this clinic suits: Whitley, Bukit Timah, and Toa Payoh owners. Ask whether an appointment is required, request an itemised estimate, and confirm any insurance paperwork or direct-billing arrangements before booking. The address is 230 Whitley Rd, Singapore 297823, and the booking line is +65 6253 1122.

The small thing nobody mentions: the side lane is the residents-only stretch; the Whitley Road front kerb is where the short-stay slots are.
