Joo Chiat shophouse character; the dog ends up smelling slightly of nasi padang from next door.
What this clinic is specifically known for is Joo Chiat sister to the Brighton Serangoon Gardens clinic; same boutique style, just east. The team is small Brighton team; longer slots, TCVM optional alongside conventional. At the consultation, ask what the findings mean, which options are available and what should prompt a follow-up.
On hours and scope: daytime clinic, mon-sat. This is a routine practice. For middle-of-the-night emergencies (collapse, bloat, suspected poisoning, anything that needs a CT scanner before sunrise), the call is to one of the 24-hour A&E hospitals on the emergency list, not here. For everything else (vaccination planning, sterilisation, the lump you noticed at the weekend, health changes in an older dog), this is the kind of practice that earns long-term trust.
Who this clinic suits: owners in the Joo Chiat catchment who want a primary vet they can stay with for a decade. Ask whether an appointment is required, request an itemised estimate, and confirm any insurance paperwork or direct-billing arrangements before booking. The address is 438 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore 427651, and the booking line is +65 6214 9521.
The small thing nobody mentions: turn up five minutes early on the first visit, with the puppy in a harness if the harness is fitted yet. The first impression of a clinic is largely formed in the waiting room, not the consult room, and the calmer you are on the way in, the calmer the dog is on the table.

I've been going to Brighton ever since I adopted my hamster. At first, it was just for a check-up, but a few days before my appointment, she started bleeding from her privates. Luckily, Dr Eunice and her team were able to quickly diagnose her and advised for surgery (spay). Though I called most vet clinics that perform abdominal surgery to get a quotation, I found Brighton's price to be most fair, so decided to get the surgery done here. They even discovered a bladder stone during the sterilisation surgery, which they removed. My hamster recovered well from this first surgery. Later on, her bladder stone returned and she had to get a second surgery, but only after a medication trial was unsuccessful to dissolve the stone. Both times, Dr Eunice, Dr Gwenda and the Brighton team were reassuring and transparent, which really put me at ease. I'm very grateful to Brighton for their great care of my hamster and also their professionalism. I've never had to wait excessively long for my appointments and all treatments were always discussed with the greatest transparency. The vets always did a physical check on my hamster at every appointment. They were open to discussion and respected my opinions (e.g. when I was reluctant to send my hamster for a second surgery so quickly after her first). The vet nurses, techs and receptionists are also easy to talk to on the phone and answer my enquiries. Highly recommended for all hammy owners!

Dr Eunice is the vet to go to . My dog Westie has been going to her with issues like ear , skin , and anus infection ( all separate spontaneous timeline ) and manage to cure it . . And he did his teeth scaling with her as well . My dog also has one of his testicles that didn’t descend and she remove it s out safely tooo . . She is the best! Dr Eunice pretty much walked thy my dog ‘s life journey . I been to a few vet outside Brighton and to be honest they are good too but when u have a dog that has multiple issues u want someone to be Knowledgeable and confidence with acute diagnoses . her experience as a vet has been a huge plus to my dog . Dr Eunice is pragmatic and kind at the same time , loving to animals . I love the fact that she allow dog parents like me to have a safe place to address my concerns on what best we can do for my dog . We are very grateful that we have her as our to go vet . Our yearly vet check up has been good too , Dr Eunice will suggest properly age appropriate checks.. lastly not forgetting the great team too at Brighton Katong . The assistants are patience and efficient. It take a whole team to make a vet clinic a good one . Thank you

UPDATE (16 Aug 2025): I received a very sweet handwritten card from the medical professionals who saw to Sugar on 05 Aug. Very, very kind people who do their jobs with heart, compassion and empathy. I wholly trust that our furbabies are in good hands with them. 05 Aug 2025: I brought my 2 year 6 months old Chinese Hamster, Sugar, in for emergency 2 days ago, on Tuesday at around 11am. She was having difficulty breathing, making clicking noises, and couldn’t walk properly. Dr Smriti saw to Sugar, and unfortunately, in the evening, I had to make one of the most difficult decisions ever - to let Sugar go to sleep, because her condition was just too serious, there would be no quality of life for her. She was in a lot of pain and to prolong her life just because I couldn’t let go, would be selfish. I just didn’t want Sugar to suffer, or be in pain anymore. The vet techs/nurses and Dr Smriti were really very kind, and they let me hold and say goodbye to Sugar before and after they administered the anesthetic gas. After she passed, they even cut a tiny patch of fur and put it in a bottle for me, and gave me a card with her paw prints. This was really a surprise, and even my boyfriend who was with me said he hadn’t expected this at all. Now, I will always have a little bit of Sugar with me. I only remembered Dr Smriti’s name, and I didn’t get the names of the vet techs or the nurses, but they spoke softly and handled Sugar really gently, even when she was being difficult. Thank you to the team at Brighton Katong who were on duty on Tuesday, 05 Aug 2025. We really appreciate it and are grateful for the kindness and compassion that you guys showed to us that day.

- In-house lab and imaging means bloods and X-rays happen in the building, so you get an answer the same visit.
- Price band is a relative guide, not a quoted fee. Ask the clinic for the current consultation price before you travel.

A blank cell reads "Not confirmed". That means the clinic may offer it, but we still need a reliable source before we say so here.
