There is a specific kind of phone call no dog owner wants to make at 2am, and Veterinary Emergency & Specialty (VES) Hospital is one of the addresses you want in your contacts before that call ever happens. The clinic sits in Whitley, in the central region, and the front-line answer to most emergency questions is the same: pick up the phone, describe what is happening, and start driving. The number is +65 6266 0232, and 24 hours, 365 days a year.
What sets the hospital apart is the largest specialty referral and emergency hospital in Singapore, with 32-slice CT, MRI, ICU, and over two dozen vets across multiple specialties. The team here is a team of more than 24 veterinarians including board-certified specialists; positioned as the first full-service pet hospital in Singapore. The atmosphere on the inside is hospital corridors and ICU monitors rather than the small-clinic feel; built for the cases other vets refer onward, which is exactly what an owner in the middle of a difficult night wants. Nothing showy. Clear triage. The dog is taken in, observed, and worked up while someone talks you through what is happening and what comes next.
On the routine side, this is also a working hospital during daylight hours. Vaccinations, dental work, surgical referrals, and complex medical workups all happen here as well, and many east-side and central owners use it as their primary clinic for exactly that reason: the safety net is built into the daytime care, not bolted on afterwards. If your dog has a chronic condition that needs specialist input, the day-clinic team and the emergency team share the same notes and the same imaging.
What to bring if you are heading down: your dog's vaccination record if you can lay hands on it quickly, a list of any current medications, and whoever else in the household needs to know what is happening. What to expect: the front desk will ask for the basic history first, then a vet will see the dog. Payment is handled at the end of the visit, and most major pet insurers are accepted directly or via claim form. The address is 232 Whitley Road, Singapore 297824.
Who this hospital is for: the owner who wants to know, before they need it, where they would go in a real emergency. Save the number now. Pin the address to your phone's lock screen. The point of writing this list is so that on the night the call has to be made, the call is to someone you already trust.

I cannot thank the team at VES enough for the care, compassion, and dedication they showed to my dog Philippa during one of the most stressful weeks of my life. At the time, I was working as a veterinary nurse in a general practice. When Philippa became critically unwell, it was clear that her condition was far beyond what could safely be managed at a GP level, and bringing her to VES was the best decision I could have made. From the moment she was admitted, I felt a sense of relief knowing she was in good hands. The ECC vets and nurses were so lovely throughout her week-long stay in the ICU. Despite Philippa being an older and rather grumpy lady, the nurses were constantly loving on her and showed her so much patience, gentleness, and affection. Seeing how comfortable and cared for she was meant more to me than I can put into words. Thank you! 🥹 Because of a concurrent immune-mediated condition, Philippa was unable to undergo surgery straight away. Once she was stable enough, Dr Daniele took the time to sit with me and talk me through the surgery she required. I was extremely anxious, but his kind and compassionate demeanour, along with his clear and patient explanations, gave me complete confidence in going forward with the procedure. The surgery went smoothly, and she recovered well from it. I am also grateful to Dr Darren for his guidance in managing Philippa’s immune-mediated condition and for tailoring a treatment plan that supported her after her discharge. I am very happy to say that six months on, Philippa has made a full recovery and is now back to living her best life. To the entire team at VES, thank you for the dedication and compassion you showed throughout Philippa‘s stay. ❤️ While specialist veterinary care does come at a cost, I never once felt pressured into unnecessary treatments. Every decision was clearly made with Philippa’s best interests at heart. I would wholeheartedly recommend VES to anyone who wants their pet treated with the same care and love.

We were referred to Veterinary Emergency and Specialty (VES) 🏥via our vet 👩⚕️ for consultation with a heart 🫀specialist. We have never ❌ been here before and realised that it is a very new set up. It’s located at Whitley Road 🏘️ so it is pretty central to travel 🚘 to and they have a big parking 🅿️ area at the front. Once our Vet handed the case file 🗂️ to VES, everything was set up for the appointment. A phone ☎️ call to confirm, Whatsapp 📲 to give info 📝 on what to do before appointment 📆 (fasting…etc) then finally a final confirmation 🗣️ before actual day. Arrived and the hospital 🏥 is big, bright 💡, new and very modern. Dogs 🐶 go to the right ➡️ hand side, Cats 😻 go to the left ⬅️ hand side waiting area. (The rest of the pet goes where? 🤷♂️LOL 🤣) Then fill ✍️ up the online form 📋 and the Doctor 👨🏼⚕️ will attend to you on time ⏰. Head out to the consultation room and discuss 💬 the possible treatments. We then left our cat 🐈⬛ there to be checked while we headed out for lunch 🍜 and coffee ☕️ before coming back to pick him up. What I like…. The hospital set up is bright, clean, modern and well designed. ✅✅✅✅ Our Doctor was a European 🇪🇺 and took his time to speak to us, answered all our questions and explained exactly what he will be doing with our cat and then finally, the expected actions are itemized 🧾 into a bill. The same sequence took place at check out. We got back into the room and he explained the test 💉🩻 results, our options….etc No rush ⏳, always backed his recommendations with facts or experience. Overall, it was a good 👍 experience despite it being a hospital and my cat is ill 😌. It was very reassuring for my wife and I 🫶. I will recommend you head over prepared with a list 📝 of questions to ask 💬the vet and not be led by the nose, partake in your pet recovery.

my 13 year old maltipoo, cece, passed on peacefully at home on november 1st after being diagnosed with heart failure and precursor immune mediated anemia. in the two months leading up to her death, she was cared for by the wonderful vets and nurses of VES. she was in and out of the hospital multiple times for checkups, procedures and treatments. she used to hate going to the vet’s but something was different at VES. she never seemed stressed, she always came back to us happy and bright, well groomed and rested. thank you for loving her like she was your own. we always knew she was in good hands whenever we had to leave her there. we, as owners, are very grateful for the support that was shown to us during this difficult time. there were many difficult decisions about the extent of investigations we should pursue and treatment options that we could consider. at every consult, we were given the time, information and guidance to make the best choices we could for her. thank you to the team at VES for walking alongside us on this journey and for the care you gave both us and her through it all.
