Singapore’s Pampered Pets

RehabVet, an animal rehabilitation clinic in Serangoon Road, offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to enhance pet recovery. Dr. Sara Lam notes that their medical-grade chamber — the only one in Singapore for animals — accommodates even large breeds like Great Danes. A one-hour HBOT session costs $250.

Pet’s Loss of Balance Treatment

RehabVet, Singapore’s sole provider of medical-grade Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for animals, successfully treated Tyler, a 13-year-old retriever diagnosed with central vestibular syndrome. After 10 HBOT sessions over three weeks, Tyler regained full mobility and coordination.

Holistic Wellness for Pets

RehabVet, a pioneer in veterinary rehabilitation in Singapore, is at the forefront of the integrative veterinary medicine (IVM) movement. Their team of certified veterinary physiotherapists and rehabilitation therapists offer services designed to improve the health and well-being of pets.

“We established RehabVet to cater to the growing demand for holistic pet wellness among Singaporeans,” says Dr. Lam. “As pet owners become more conscious of their pets’ health, they seek comprehensive and preventive care options.”

First Vet in Singapore Certified in Animal Rehabilitation

Dr. Sara Lam is the first veterinarian in Singapore to be certified in animal rehabilitation. Unlike traditional animal clinics, RehabVet focuses on physical therapy to help afflicted animals manage their pain. The facilities include a heated hydrotherapy pool, electroacupuncture machine, stance analyser (the only one in Singapore), and hyperbaric chamber.
