CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Toa Payoh Vets in 2004. Before renovation. Singapore Toa Payoh Vets is a private small-animal practice in Toa Payoh, Singapore. It was started in 1982 by Dr Sing Kong Yuen to provide a more personalised boutique service to Singapore pet owners and to do clinical research and education of Singapore pet owners.


Since 1997, Toa Payoh Vets have been making corporate social responsibility as part of its operations. Employees and associate vets participate actively in the main project, Be Kind To Pets commenced since 1997 when the internet was at its infancy and when web pages were grey.
1. Be Kind To Pets Community Education Project
The main project is to educate pet owners to take good care of their pets and to make veterinary medicine and surgery alive. Vets working at Toa Payoh Vets are encouraged to write compelling educational narratives that are published at Be Kind To Pets. This project is our giving back to the society of pet lovers. We research and write articles to educate pet owners all over the world using real case studies. This project was started by Dr Sing Kong Yuen in 1997.  Our internet articles enable more pet owners and others to share information and learn how to be kind to pets. Some case studies are:

4. Blogs to bring veterinary medicine and surgery alive to vet students
There is too much to study in veterinary medicine and surgery - dogs, cats and other animals unlike human medicine which focus only on people. The case studies seen at Toa Payoh Vets will make veterinary studies more interesting to the vet students as these are real world cases.
