The Visiting Vets Clinic

★ 4.8 · 208 reviews on Google

Taman Serasi sleepy; you walk out of the Botanic Gardens, dog tired, and the vet is right there.

What this clinic is specifically known for is house-call service alongside the Botanic Gardens clinic; popular with owners who hate carrying anxious dogs into a waiting room. The team is small, experienced team; their original model was mobile, the clinic came later. At the consultation, ask what the findings mean, which options are available and what should prompt a follow-up.

On hours and scope: daytime clinic with house-call service. 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: owners in the Tanglin (Botanic Gardens) catchment who want a primary vet they can stay with for a decade. Ask whether an appointment is required, request an itemised estimate, and confirm any insurance paperwork or direct-billing arrangements before booking. The address is 9 Taman Serasi, #01-09, Singapore 257720, and the booking line is +65 6475 3405.

The small thing nobody mentions: turn up five minutes early on the first visit, with the puppy in a harness if the harness is fitted yet. The first impression of a clinic is largely formed in the waiting room, not the consult room, and the calmer you are on the way in, the calmer the dog is on the table.
