Hello everyone,

With the uprise in COVID-19 cases in the community, we are sure everyone has wondered if their pets are at risk of the disease and what they should do if a suspected infection occurs.

While there have been some cases of animals contracting COVID-19 outside of Singapore, owners should not over-worry as the case numbers are rather isolated.

Owners should aim to maintain a good set of personal hygiene measures (eg. washing of hands before and after handling their pets/ pet accessories, etc). If pet owners are suspected/ confirmed to test positive for COVID-19, they should isolate themselves from their family members and their pets.

Please do note that if your household comprises of a suspected/ positive COVID-19 case and your pet urgently needs to seek veterinary attention, do arrange for a 3rd party (individuals not staying in the same house) pick-up and drop-off of your pet to our clinic. Please also give us a call beforehand to allow our staff members to prepare for your arrival. Your co-operation in doing so will allow us to work with the safety measures in place and our clinic can be open to serve the community better through this period.

Thank you and have a good day!
