Dr Tan is a very experience & trusted vet .i brought my pet dog to 2 different vets a week ago, but they couldn't find out the diagnosis after doing blood tests & ultrasound. It was still in pain & Dr Tan could tell me straight after physical examined her.My girl is back to normal after an injection. Kudos Dr Tan & his staffs !!!!
Exceptionally nice vet with many years of experience. The vet took time to check our doggie and gave us many tips. At no point it felt rush and he was very loving to our puppy. The staff and receptionists are also very friendly. Everyone is welcoming :). Most importantly, the prices are reasonable.
My first time coming here… very satisfied. Dr Edmund is very experience and care for my cat. He gave good advice. The receptionist is very kind and helpful as well.
LOVEeeeeeee Dr Edmond Tan!!!!! U can see how professional, experienced, passionate, loving & kind he is towards your furkids. This is gonna be my dogs vet for as long as he is still working & not retired!
Decided to bring my dog here because of all the good reviews but was very disappointed. I brought my dog in as I thought he had an ear infection as there was a foul smelling coming from it. I agree with the other reviews that Dr Tan does have very good bedside manners – he was very friendly towards my dog. After that however, the horrors began. He told me that my dog did not have an ear infection but the skin was not in good condition. I kept emphasizing to him that I know my dog has sensitive skin but I feel that the skin was in a good condition as compared to previously as I now bathe him twice a week and I keep his fur short and clean. My main concern today was his ears. However, he kept harping on the skin, he kept trying to advise me to bathe everyday and to change his food from dry kibbles to home cooked food. I understand his good intentions but sometimes it is just not feasible for everyone to provide their dog with home cooked food due to time constraints and some people do not cook at home. Afterwards, he proceeded to tell me that my dog needed an injection for inflammation. However, initially he said my dog does not have any ear infection so I was very confused but I respected him and just let him go ahead. At this point in time, he did not advise about the cost of the injection or the subsequent medications even though I understand other reviews mentioned that he was very transparent and ethical. At the end of the day, apart from the injection, he prescribed my dog with 4 bottles of ear cleaner, a big bottle of shampoo (even though I did not come here for skin problems) and 3 oral medications without explaining what they were for. I was very upset because he kept focusing on my dog’s skin when I came here because of the ears and he did not consider my concerns at all. I was left confused because his words did not match what he prescribed – he mentioned no infection but he gave 4 bottles of ear cleaner that the receptionist auntie said was for ear infection. Does he simply prescribe 4 bottles for every dog with an ear problem? I tried to clarify more but the receptionist was very rude towards me. I did not want to take the shampoo as I was not keen on changing my dog’s shampoo but she kept insisting that the doctor has prescribed it already and that she has packed it and billed it. She kept making the ‘Tsk’ sound at me. She even wanted me to pay for the stickers wasted on the shampoo which I felt was very ridiculous. At the end of the day, I wondered if an injection, 3 oral medications and 4 bottles of ear cleaner was really necessary for my dog’s ear which the doctor himself said there was no infection? I would never know. In conclusion, come to this clinic if you prioritize good bedside manners and feel that you would like a doctor who would tell you what to do based on what he feels is right without any consideration for YOUR OWN concerns for YOUR dog. Oh, and if you don’t mind a rude receptionist.

Edmond Tan Veterinary Surgery is priced at the mid-range ($$) level, though specific per-visit fees are not publicly listed and will vary depending on the type of consultation, procedure, or treatment required. For a standard consultation, veterinary clinics in Singapore typically charge between S$30 and S$80, with diagnostic tests, vaccinations, and procedures billed separately. Costs can increase meaningfully for specialist services, surgery, or overnight stays. Add-ons such as blood panels, X-rays, dental scaling, or prescribed medication will each carry their own charges. It is advisable to ask for an itemised estimate before proceeding with any non-emergency treatment. See the full Veterinary Clinics cost guide for Singapore →
For dogs, the core vaccinations are DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza) and rabies, with bordetella commonly required for pets that will be boarding or attending daycare facilities. For cats, FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia) is the standard core vaccine. Most clinics and boarding facilities expect vaccinations to have been administered within the past 12 months. If your pet is due for boosters, the clinic can typically administer them at the same visit or shortly before any boarding or group care begins. Bring your pet's vaccination booklet or records to your first appointment so the team can review your pet's immunisation history and advise on what may be needed.
Veterinary clinics and practising veterinarians in Singapore are regulated by the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) under the National Parks Board. Veterinary surgeons must be registered with AVS to practise legally. No specific regulatory licences are listed in this KakiList profile, so it is recommended that you confirm the clinic's AVS registration and the individual veterinarian's credentials directly before your first visit. Regarding insurance, veterinary practices vary in their policies covering incidents during treatment. If your pet has a pet insurance policy, check whether the clinic is recognised by your insurer for claims purposes. For procedures carrying any surgical risk, it is reasonable to ask the clinic about their protocols if a complication arises. Visit the facility, check the vaccination policy, and confirm insurance before drop-off.
