Good Vet, Happy Pet!

Last Update: 5 August 2019

Your choice of vet will have a strong impact on your hamster’s overall well-being. Whether it be routine check ups or life-threatening medical emergencies, your choice of vet will determine how comfortable the experience will be for both you and your hamster.

Tips for finding good Vets for your hamster

• Look for someone whom you feel comfortable communicating with, and who has experience in the treatment of hamsters.

• Do some research or call the clinic prior to your visit - ask as many questions as you need to feel assured of your hamster’s health and safety.

• Don’t be afraid to seek a second opinion: In certain cases, it may be better to seek the opinion of more than one vet before coming to a decision regarding your hamster’s treatment.

• Just because one of the vets at a clinic is experienced in treating hamsters, does not mean that all of the others are equally qualified. If you call for an appointment and are offered an appointment with a vet you do not know, insist on seeing the vet you asked for.

This vet list is another way Hamster Society Singapore advocates the welfare of hamsters. Our aim is to include vets who have demonstrated competency with the medicine and surgery of hamsters, and who take the time to educate themselves with the most up to date medical technologies and practices. Our recommendations are based on either personal experience or current positive reviews from other pet owners (August 2019).  The listing is categorised by region, and should serve as a useful guide for you to estimate the medical bills for your hamster.

Reasons why a vet is not listed, or has been removed from the list:

1. Insufficient information about the vet/clinic;

2. New clients are currently not being accepted by the vet/clinic

This list is by no means exhaustive. If you know of a hamster-savvy vet in a clinic which is not listed here, please let us know by sending us an e-mail (hamstersocietyhelp@gmail.com).

* Inclusion in this listing does not constitute an endorsement by Hamster Society (Singapore).  Exercise your standard caution as a consumer before choosing any vet.
