AVS Certified Veterinary Care & Accreditation

In Singapore, it is a regulatory requirement that any premise operating as a veterinary clinic or hospital must hold a valid Veterinary Centre Licence issued by the Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS), a cluster under the National Parks Board (NParks). This licensing system ensures that all veterinary facilities meet established statutory requirements regarding animal health, welfare, safety, and professional conduct. To maintain this license, clinics must ensure their premises, operational protocols, and all employed veterinary surgeons comply with AVS directives and the Code of Ethics for Veterinarians. Key Regulatory Requirements for Clinics: Licensing: Every clinic must be listed in the Public Registry of AVS-Licensed Veterinary Centres. Professional Oversight: Every veterinary centre must be under the active control and management of a licensed veterinary surgeon at all times. Inspection: Licensed clinics are subject to periodic inspections by AVS to ensure adherence to safety and hygiene standards. Verification Tip: If you are unsure whether a facility is licensed, you can verify their status by checking the Public Registry of AVS-Licensed Veterinary Centres on the official AVS website, which is updated regularly.
