Veterinary clinics in Singapore forced to increase fees amid soaring costs, talent shortage

Veterinary clinics in Singapore have had to increase their fees by up to 20 per cent over the last two years, due to rising medical supplies and manpower costs, industry players said. A severe shortage of vets, both in the country and globally, has also made it challenging for them to hire and retain talent, despite offering higher salaries. As pet ownership continues to grow in Singapore, vets are calling for more to be done to support the sector. CNA’s Claudia Lim reports.
