ZumVet provides easy & convenient access to affordable veterinary animal healthcare through:
Modernising pet healthcare, to suit your lifestyle
Anyone who is based in Singapore and concerned about the health and wellness of their beloved pet(s) can use ZumVet. However, anyone below the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult during the video consultation.
ZumVet recommends that the main caretaker(s) of the pet(s) are present during the video consultation. In cases where the main caretaker(s) are not able attend the consultation, and has someone else attending the video consultation on their behalf, the responsibility lies with the client to provide as much information as possible. If the attending vet is unable to properly assess the pet’s condition due to incomplete information being provided, they may recommend that the main caretaker(s) book another video consultation.
All our vets must have a valid veterinary license from NParks/AVS and extensive experience in a clinical setting. In order to practice on ZumVet, selected vets undergo an onboarding process and ongoing education to ensure they are qualified to deliver consistent care via our platform.
ZumVet is accessible on desk tops and laptops, and mobile phones. Please ensure that you are connected to the internet. Where possible, we recommend using WiFi for a more stable connection.
You can visit our online consultation site at zumvet.com to book an appointment to consult with our vets, as well as access your pet's digital records.
You can also download the online consultation platform via our official ZumVet App available on both the AppStore on iOS devices, and PlayStore on Android devices.
You will be required to make a payment in order to submit a booking request through our platform. We accept online payments through Visa or MasterCard.
Pay only for what your pet needs
If you are not sure of what your pet needs, we recommend starting with a video call, so that our vet can guide you.
* The video call fee is not inclusive of your in-clinic consultation fee.
ZumVet adheres to a 24-hour cancellation policy. Any cancellations with less than 24 hours notice are subject to a cancellation fee amounting to the cost of the scheduled service.

Our vets will walk you through the treatment plan during the consultation and you will receive an email notification with regards to your prescription within 1.5 hours from the end of the consultation. You will be required to pay the cost of the medication to confirm delivery arrangements.
We do not currently sell medication through our online channels.

Just note that you'll be required to fill up a questionnaire to ensure that the heartworm preventatives will be safe for your dog's consumption. The link to the questionnaire can be found on the product page.
Alternatively, our customer support team will also be in touch to share the questionnaire with you to ensure that you complete the questionnaire.
Once our vets approve the heartworm preventative request, we will then proceed to arrange delivery accordingly for you!
In the event that you are not sure if your pet should continue on heartworm prevention, we highly recommend speaking to one of our vets via an online video call.

Video consults are generally suitable for pet care advice and veterinary opinions for triaging general medical conditions, chronic disease management and behavioural issues.
Our vets are extensively trained on conditions that are suitable for telemedicine. If at any time during the call, the attending vet finds that further examination or investigations are necessary, they will advise you on follow-up procedures, which may include a visit to your usual vet clinic or an emergency clinic.
If you are not sure of what your pet needs, we recommend starting with a video call, so that our vet can guide you.
If at any time your video call is disconnected, please try reloading the screen and you should be reconnected to the call. If you are logged out, please sign in again and click into the video link in Active Bookings.
If the problem persists, please contact our customer support team via a call at 3158 3942, or via email to [email protected].
To ensure the best consultation experience with our vets, we recommend preparing the following:
- Your pet's past medical records
- A weighing scale, if available
- A treat for your pet to keep them calm and comfortable
- A well-lit area where your pet can be clearly assessed by the vet.
We would advise that your pet be present so that our vets can properly diagnose and prescribe a treatment plan, if necessary.
However, should you have a general question, our vets can provide advice and guidance without your pet being present.
A vet will assess your pet via teleconsult and, based on their professional evaluation, will be able to:
Our vets are dedicated to providing the best advice and it is important to note that not all conditions are suitable for treatment via a video teleconsultation. In some cases, our vets may recommend that you visit a vet clinic for advanced diagnostics or treatments.
Following each consultation, a summary of the assessment and recommendations will be sent to your registered email address.
If your attending vet feels that, based on his/her professional opinion, your pet requires further physical tests and/or treatments, the vet will provide you with a referral letter, which will be emailed to you after the consultation.
If necessary, either you or the physical clinic that you go to can contact our support staff via a call at 3158 3942, or via email to [email protected], to request for any past medical history regarding your pet that has been recorded in our platform. You will also be able to view it via your pet's profile under your account.
*Please note that for all referrals, costs incurred for further diagnostics, treatment and medication will be charged by the clinic. For referral to non-partner clinics, the usual consultation fee will be charged by the clinic during your visit.
ZumVet provides teleadvice, teletriage, and teleconsultation services with the assistance of locally-registered veterinarians in Singapore and Indonesia.
In situations where we don't have a locally-registered veterinarian, we can still offer safe teleadvice and teletriage services for consultations conducted overseas. This is particularly beneficial for pet owners in remote locations with no access to local veterinary support.

However, if your pet is experiencing an emergency situation such as breathing difficulties, choking, motor accidents, seizures, etc, you will need to take your pet to an in-clinic vet immediately.
Our consultations are conducted in English. If any other languages are preferred, please note that we are unable to guarantee that our vets will be able to proceed with the consultation.
Our Zumvet team provides:
- Wellness exams (annual check-up for pets) + routine preventative care
- Home consultation + physical examination
- Microchipping
- Vaccinations
- Blood taking
- Sample collection - fine needle aspirates, skin scraping, tumour impression smears, dermatophyte testing
