MESSAGE FROM DR SING KONG YUEN
 
In 2020, it has been a great wonderful 46 years in veterinary practice for me since my graduation from Glasgow University in 1974. I started Toa Payoh Vets in 1982. Many of my clients' children are now young adults. Some have married and I see their little ones with their pets.  Younger vets will be handling most cases. Their cases are reviewed by me to ensure a high standard of veterinary medicine and surgery is practised.  My past years of skills and expertise are shared with my vets. 

I am still practising as I enjoy resolving the challenging varied cases every day and meeting the families of my older clientele. I am usually at work 9.30am to 11 am on Thursdays. Dr Daniel Sing is the Principal Veterinary Surgeon. 

I attend to deficiencies in services and complaints and to ensure that there is a high standard of veterinary care from Toa Payoh Vets. I intend to make Toa Payoh Vets one of the top 3 small animal surgeries in Singapore, amongst the nearly 100 veterinary practices. Toa Payoh Vets' focus is on veterinary surgeries, aiming for successful outcomes.

Giving back to the community is very important for me as I became a veterinarian owing of the generosity of the British Government's Colombo Plan Scholarship presented to me in 1969. Some interesting projects are:
 
1.  Case Studies in blogs 
2. Toilet training your puppy in Singapore
Dr Sing's interviews of over 600 cases of Singapore puppies and their house-breaking challenges.
 
3.  Veterinary Education:  Be Kind To Pets contains the archives of case studies to make veterinary medicine and surgery alive for vet students and pet  owners.  See also Video: The Be Kind To Pets project
 
4. YouTube has the latest case studies
From 2013, real life case studies to educate the visual-oriented younger and better educated pet owners are uploaded on youtube. Some examples are:
 
4.1.  Video: A very difficult corgi caesarean section 1/2
4.2.  Video: A very difficult corgi caesarean section 2/2
4.3.  Video: A Sheltie has pyometra and ticks
4.4.  Video: How to toilet-train a puppy in an apartment
4.5.  Veterinary videos to educate vet students & pet owners.
 
NOTE:  Sinpets Pte Ltd  was started in 2011 by Dr Sing Kong Yuen, David to do wholesale trade of a variety of goods without a dominant product. As the partner responsible for the operations had quadruple by-pass heart surgery, the company was closed by striking it off in 2017. The website is used for displaying information of some products such as face masks, sold by Dr Sing Kong Yuen personally.
