MESSAGE FROM DR SING KONG YUEN
 
In 2023, it has been a great wonderful 49 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. Dr Daniel Sing is the Principal Veterinary Surgeon. I consult by appointment and on Thursdays. 

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.
