A fear-free animal hospital on Tanjong Katong Road that takes both emergencies and routine care, and runs as a day hospital and day emergency clinic. The Gentle Vet's website says it is set up for pets that need geriatric care, with vets who focus on ageing animals. It also offers short and long hospital stays, palliative and hospice care for pets, cancer treatment for dogs and cats, both surgery and chemotherapy, and cat and dog teeth cleaning. Routine work covers check-ups, vaccinations and sterilisation. The clinic says its team is available around the clock.
Customers say they were fitted in quickly, in one case within three hours of a call, when a dog needed urgent surgery. Others describe care through a long illness, from a cat with late-stage kidney disease to regular vaccinations and spaying for two cats. Customers praise the friendly receptionists, the calm, cosy feel and the private waiting rooms. One visitor said the clinic was spotless, with private suites for pets and a snack bar for owners. Several say the vets explained costs upfront and did not push extra treatment. The main complaint is the wait, which one customer said can be longer than usual because the clinic is busy.
Within a kilometre there are five other vets listed.
The clinic is at 291 Tanjong Katong Road, in Marine Parade.
