Jaw, Face, and Oral Surgery for Pets (Maxillofacial Surgery)
Jaw, Face, and Oral Surgery for Pets (Maxillofacial Surgery)
Maxillofacial surgery focuses on treating injuries, deformities, or diseases affecting your pet’s jaw, face, and mouth. At Amber Vet, we perform these surgeries to restore normal function, relieve pain, and address conditions that may impact eating, breathing, or comfort. This precise and compassionate care can help improve your pet’s quality of life, supporting both their health and overall well-being.
Signs Your Pet May Have a Jaw or Facial Problem
Your pet may have a jaw or facial issue if you notice:
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Drooling excessively or dropping food
- Swelling around the mouth, jaw, or face
- Bleeding from the mouth
- Visible deformity or misalignment of the jaw
- Pawing at the mouth or face
- Bad breath that persists despite dental cleaning
When Pets Might Need Maxillofacial Surgery
Pets may need jaw, face, or oral surgery for:
- Fractures of the jaw or facial bones (e.g., fractures from trauma, advanced periodontal disease, or after difficult tooth extractions)
- Oral or facial tumours
- Severe dental or bone infections
- Correcting congenital deformities (e.g., cleft palate)
Oronasal fistulas (commonly caused by severe dental disease, trauma, infection, or as a complication of dental cleft palate surgery) - Removal of embedded foreign objects in the mouth or jaw
Diagnosis Before Maxillofacial Surgery
Before surgery, a thorough examination is performed to pinpoint the problem and plan the procedure. This may include:
Physical Examination
A gentle but thorough check to assess your pet’s overall health and identify any signs of pain or discomfort.
Dental X-rays or CT-Scans
Detailed images to see beneath the surface and understand exactly what’s going on with your pet’s jaw, face, or mouth.
Biopsy
If needed, we may take a small tissue sample to confirm a diagnosis and guide the best course of treatment.
Blood Test
To ensure your pet is fit for anesthesia and to rule out any underlying health concerns before surgery.
What Maxillofacial Surgery Involves
Maxillofacial surgery is performed under general anaesthesia by a skilled veterinary surgeon. It may include:
Bone Stabilisation
Broken jaw bones are secured using plates, wires, or screws to restore function and alignment.
Tumour Removal
Abnormal growths are carefully removed to prevent further damage and improve your pet’s health.
Reconstruction
Bone or soft tissue defects, including cleft palate and oronasal fistulas, are repaired to restore normal appearance and function.
Bite Correction
Surgery is performed to correct deformities or misaligned bites, improving chewing and comfort.
Recovery After Maxillofacial Surgery
After maxillofacial surgery, your pet will need careful care at home to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
Initial Recovery (First Few Days)
- Your pet may feel groggy or disoriented as the anaesthetic wears off.
- Pain management is important; follow your vet’s prescribed medications closely.
- Offer soft, easy-to-eat food to reduce strain on the jaw and mouth.
Activity and Movement
- Limit physical activity and prevent rough play until your vet advises it’s safe.
- Avoid chewing hard toys or bones that could disrupt healing.
Wound Care and Hygiene
- Keep surgical sites clean and monitor for swelling, redness, or discharge.
- Prevent your pet from scratching or rubbing the area using an e-collar if needed.
Signs of Improvement
- Pets usually begin to show increased appetite and energy within a few days.
- Swelling and discomfort typically reduce over 1–2 weeks, depending on the procedure.
Follow-Up Care
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for wound checks and progress assessments.
- Additional imaging or dental checks may be recommended to ensure complete healing.
Benefits of Timely Surgery
Acting quickly can:
- Relieve your pet’s pain and discomfort
- Prevent further damage or complications
- Restore proper eating and chewing function
- Improve quality of life and longevity

Recently, we were quite distressed by the condition of our 20-year-old community cat, as our previous vet only provided generic responses for the treatment. We decided to focus on giving her a comfortable and good quality of life in her remaining years, and began searching for second opinion. Based on the google reviews and Amber Vet follows up on our case.
With a leap of faith, we travelled from Tampines to the Bedok clinic, and the journey was truly worth it. Dr Alicia and the staff were very attentive and kind towards our community cat. Dr Alicia addressed our concerns professionally and patiently, and even provided a detailed follow-up report after the visit. This helped identify conditions that were previously missed.
Although our dear Princess is a stray cat, we could genuinely feel the care and attention given to her condition. We also deeply appreciate the continued follow-up via WhatsApp to check on her progress.🌿

We’d been to multiple vets in Singapore with our cats persistent sneezing problem. We always left with different medications to try and empty pockets but nothing worked. None of them seemed to be invested in finding or treating the root cause until we met Dr Sharon.
Dr Sharon is incredibly patient and actually listens, asking questions going beyond the usual, and taking all the tests from other clinics into account that led to her suspicion that a tooth was pushing on our cat Duxtons sinus cavity.
It was a gamble without x-rays to confirm but we agreed to treatment over a few weeks which included boosting his vaccinations and having a full blood panel and x-rays the morning of his surgery.
The day of the surgery I was beside myself with worry but the exceptional team were always at the other end of WhatsApp to reassure me. He had quite a rough time at home recovering after having 3 of his canines removed, but again, they were so communicative and genuinely helpful on WhatsApp.
The improvement is clear, and all the anxiety and money was worth it.
We also take our other cat Chippy who became extremely reactive at the vet for the first time (he’s adopted so not much is known about his history) so much so I feared the nurses were going to get hurt! But they simply shrugged it off and prescribed us some medicine to help him with the anxiety when we came back for his annual vaccinations, which went smoothly 😅
We always find Amber Vet a clean, quiet and calm environment who, as best as possible, stick to your actual appointment time which is important if your cats hate waiting. They do not over crowd or cram back to back consultations.
Everyone we’ve met there is wonderful and so friendly, a special thank you to of course Dr Sharon and Naomi.

Thank you Dr Brian, Dr Alicia and the Amber Vet team for looking after Ellie (Golden Retriever). She has recovered beautifully from the laparoscopic spay and wasn't even bothered by the stitches. Her teeth look great after the dental work. Also very glad we did the hip Xray and know how to better look after her joints. So glad we made the choice to go to your clinic for her procedure.
We have seen Dr. Sharon for a couple of appointments now for 3 of my family’s cats pertaining to wounds, ringworm, overall health check-ups and annual vaccinations. Every visit, Dr. Sharon is very friendly and gentle. She never fail to let the cats get used to the environment before approaching them, making it a more comfortable experience for the cats without causing additional stress. Dr. Sharon is also very patient when explaining the causes, observations, results and treatment plan going forward, I appreciate the reassurance. Would highly recommend Dr. Sharon at Amber Vet. Definitely a very cat-friendly vet and environment. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Brought both my fur babies for spaying by Dr Kevin Loon. Dr Loon was knowledgeable and assuring and so gentle with my pups. The front desk ladies were also courteous and animal lovers too. Overall, service was great and I highly recommend Amber Vet for anyone looking for a reliable clinic.

Have been going to Amber Vet since Kona was a puppy, Dr Brian is very thoughtful and sweet to Kona. We get our annual vaccines, dental and health screening done, Dr Brian explains the procedures well, highly knowledgeable and attentive to our concerns as well. Will recommend Amber Vet to all!
I've been bringing my pets to Amber Vet for more than 10 years and they are definitely my most trusted vet clinic. Their facility is very clean, cozy and peaceful, but I feel what sets them apart from other clinics is that you never feel like you're just another patient on the carousel. Every visit is a warm and personable experience.
Dr Loon was my attending vet, and despite my pet's many ailments, under Dr Loon's meticulous care, he lived to a very good age of 17. Milou's final moments was also at Amber, and I would personally like to thank Dr Suria, Melissa, and the other nurses who went out of their way to make him comfortable at the end. Everything was handled with so much sensitivity and love and I would like to extend my most heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to the whole team.
I recently brought my new kitten there for vaccinations, and he was handled by Dr Sharon. She is very detailed and careful, and even for a routine procedure like kitten vax, they will send a follow up message the next day to check in on the pet's condition.
I will always recommend Amber Vet for anyone looking for a trusted and compassionate veterinary clinic.

Dr. Loon has been Honey's vet since 2021! From simple visits for preventive care to more complex ones for echocardiograms, a laparoscopic spay, or a dental COHAT, Dr. Loon and all the team members at Amber Vet have never failed to treat her with the utmost care while maintaining an exceptionally high standard of medicine.
To me, what sets Dr. Loon apart is his meticulous attention to detail. Despite Honey having seen several different vets throughout her puppyhood, it was only Dr. Loon who detected her heart murmur. His ability to catch what others missed speaks volumes about his expertise.
I truly believe Dr. Loon is one of Singapore's premier practitioners, armed with more than a decade of experience and a perfectionistic tendency - trust that your furry family member will be in good hands at Amber.
Honey says thanks for helping her live her happiest, healthiest life!

It is with deep appreciation that I write this letter of recommendation for Amber Vet, and in particular Dr. Loon and Dr. Elise who have been an integral part of my sweet boy Casper for the past 14 years.
Throughout the years, Amber Vet has provided consistent, high-quality care —from routine checkups and preventive treatments to moments of urgent need. Their compassion, professionalism, and dedication have never wavered.
Over the past two years Casper was diagnosed with nasal cancer, a journey that has been emotionally and medically challenging. Throughout this time, Dr. Loon and Dr. Elise have shown exceptional medical expertise, thoughtful treatment planning, and compassion. They have walked closely with me every step of the way—patiently explaining options, adjusting care as needed.
The support staff is equally impressive —friendly, organised and always ready to lend a hand.
What stands out most about Amber Vet is not just their clinical excellence, but the genuine kindness and empathy shown by everyone on their team.
More importantly, I know that Casper receives care that is both medically sound and emotionally attuned.
I am deeply grateful for the years of care Amber Vet has provided and continue to provide. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking outstanding veterinary support from professionals who truly care.

A Lifesaver for Our Cat, Tigi – Our Deepest Gratitude to Dr. Elise
We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Elise for the exceptional care and expertise she has given to our cat, Tigi. Since she was 6 months old, Tigi had been suffering from recurring bacterial and yeast infections in her ears. She was constantly scratching, which led to torn skin and the need to wear a cone for extended periods. Over time, her condition worsened—she developed crusty eyes and experienced increasing discomfort. Despite seeing multiple vets over seven months and making various dietary changes, we were unable to find the root cause of her issues.
That changed when we came across Dr. Elise, a feline specialist who visits Singapore quarterly. From the start, Dr. Elise took a thorough and compassionate approach. She performed an endoscopy and was the first to diagnose Tigi with Proliferative and Necrotizing Otitis Externa (PNOE)—a rare, immune-mediated skin disease affecting the ears, linked to an overactive immune response.
For the past year and a half, Dr. Elise has overseen Tigi’s care, monitoring her progress closely. Even when she's abroad, she stays in touch through regular updates from Amber Vet. Under her guidance, Tigi has made remarkable improvement, and her medication has now been successfully tapered down to alternate days.
Dr. Elise's deep knowledge, dedication, and compassion have truly transformed Tigi’s life. We are so thankful for everything she has done. She is a truly remarkable and rare kind of veterinarian.

I brought my 2-year-old dog to Dr. Loon for a keyhole laparoscopic spay and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. I had been reluctant to spay her after a not-so-great experience with my other dog, who had a traditional spay at another clinic and struggled with poor wound healing. She also has a heart murmur so I was worried about her risk under GA, but Dr Loon was very thorough and reassuring, performing a detailed heart ultrasound to ensure her heart function was ok before proceeding with surgery.
The keyhole spay was a total game changer — the recovery was so much quicker and she was so active and normal immediately lost-surgery. Best of all, there’s no visible scar at all once the tiny wounds healed!
We also did a dental procedure at the same time so she wouldn’t need to be under anaesthesia again later. I was really impressed that they use dental x-rays just like at a human dentist. They were able to identify a tooth that looked completely normal on the outside but was actually starting to crack under the gumline causing her discomfort — something we’d never have known without the x-ray.
Huge thanks to Dr. Loon and the team for their excellent care and expertise. Highly recommend!

I have two dogs, and with my older one now 4 years old, I’ve been to my fair share of vet clinics over the years. But this was my younger dog Salmon’s very first vet visit — and honestly, Amber Vet blew me away. I ended up here by chance (and referral from a neighbour) because our regular vet wasn’t available, but I’m so glad we did.
I didn’t specify any doctor but was so lucky to be assigned to Dr. Sharon Choy and team — Dr Choy was incredibly gentle, patient, and unbelievably sweet with Salmon. You could just feel how much she cared.
The entire team of receptionist and vet techs were absolute angels too — kind, thoughtful, genuinely sweet, and really went beyond to make Salmon feel safe and loved. They even came out after the appointment just to say goodbye and give her cuddles! It completely melted my heart.
Everything from the diagnosis to the communication was clear and professional. They even followed up post-visit to check in on how Salmon was recovering, which I found so thoughtful and rare these days.
As for pricing, it’s hard to compare exact market rates, but I was pleasantly surprised. The charges all itemized, transparent, and fair considering the number of tests and services included. Honestly, it’s worth every cent for the level of care they provide.
I’m just really, really grateful to have stumbled upon this clinic. They turned what could be a stressful visit into something genuinely heartwarming. Everything felt thorough, yet comforting.
Would absolutely recommend Amber Vet to anyone looking for compassionate, professional Vet care.
Thank you to the whole team for making Salmon’s first vet experience such a positive and loving one. You’ve definitely gained a loyal client.

My 5.5 year old dog had his teeth cleaned and ears scoped under general anaesthetic by Dr. Loon. It was a safe and smooth procedure. His teeth were evaluated, cleaned and treated. He suffers from chronic ear infections due to allergies, under scope, Dr Loon cleaned his ears, cultured the bacteria and dispensed effective treatment.
For paw-rents unsure of putting your fur babies under general anaesthetic for dental or ear work, my experience has been positive and I can highly recommend Dr Loon and Amber Vet for this!

We moved to the east coast 2 years ago and as a result needed to find a new vet for our two dogs; we are so lucky to have easy access to Amber Vet for their care.
Dr Sharon and the team are always super friendly and the 2 pups are always excited to see them and have little concerns for the nail clippings (which has always been an issue for these sensitive souls)

The vets here are very attentive and patient in explaining my dog's diagnosis. I have been bringing my dog here for awhile. Trust Dr Loon with his skills and experience. Highly recommended!
The team at Amber Vet has some of the kindest, most compassionate people I’ve ever met. They genuinely care for their patients, and it shows in every interaction.
It’s the only clinic where my furkid actually feels at ease. He never gets anxious here, which says a lot! The staff are incredibly friendly, kind, and meticulous. Special shoutout to Dr Sharon and her amaaazing team, especially Melissa, Naomi and Hao Yang, who are always warm, bubbly, and so passionate about what they do. They consistently go the extra mile, sending thoughtful follow-ups and detailed notes that really help put me at ease.
The team is also super responsive, proactive and easy to communicate with.
If you’ve been searching for a vet clinic that truly cares, this is the one. Can’t recommend Amber Vet enough. Thank you for the love and care you show to your patients 💕

As a first time dog parent- couldn't be happier with Amber Vet ! From the moment I walked in, the staff made both me and my pet feel completely at ease. The reception team is friendly and efficient, the staff and doctors knowledgeable and patient, taking time to explain procedures pricing etc and the clinic itself is clean, calm, and well-organized.
We have been going to Amber Vet from the time we got Toby, our little lowchen. He is now close to 3 🙂 he enjoys the calm environment of the clinic and never hesitates to get right in. Dr Loon is attentive and kind, and genuinely cares for the patient. He gives the right amount of time and gives us good advice on how to care for Tobs. We love our experience with him and Dr Sharon too!
We can’t thank the amazing team at Amber Vet enough — especially Dr. Brian Loon — for the exceptional care they’ve provided for our newly adopted 8-year-old Maltese.
From our first visit a couple of weeks ago, we were genuinely impressed by the thorough and comprehensive health check the team conducted. We had requested a full assessment for our senior dog, and what we received went far beyond our expectations. The level of detail and the range of investigations performed gave us peace of mind and helped us avoid potential health complications down the line — because truly, prevention is better (and more affordable) than cure.
As a family that has adopted and fostered many dogs over the years, we’ve been to numerous vets — but none have matched Amber Vet’s advanced medical setup. It’s almost like a mini hospital for pets, which means we don’t have to travel between different clinics for diagnostics or procedures. It’s all available in-house, which is incredibly convenient and reassuring.
During the initial check-up, our dog presented with a heart murmur, and we were promptly scheduled for a heart ultrasound right there at the clinic. After assessment, medication was prescribed to manage the heart condition — all explained clearly and with such care.
Today, our dog underwent teeth extraction, dental cleaning, and a lump removal under general anaesthesia. The team kept us updated throughout the day with calls and WhatsApp messages, which we truly appreciated — it helped ease our anxiety and showed how much they care.
The clinic is also immaculately clean, and we love that there’s a separate unit for cats, which helps reduce stress for both feline and canine patients. We also learned so much about preventive care and the latest in pet healthcare — insights we hadn’t come across in our visits to other clinics.
Another thoughtful touch: invoices are sent via email, along with detailed notes from the vet summarising the visit and sharing helpful tips discussed during the consultation — a fantastic way to keep track of care plans and advice.

The support team are always helpful and detailed in their handling and explanation of the processes and procedures.

Before finding Amber Vet, I had taken my 11-year-old toy poodle to three different veterinary clinics—none of which were competent enough to accurately diagnose his condition. The previous vets seemed to rely on textbook guesses or generic online searches, tossing around speculative diagnoses without truly understanding what was going on.
From the moment I made a cold call to Amber Vet, I knew I was finally in the right hands. The staff asked thoughtful, critical questions, and despite it being the very end of the day, they kindly slotted us in for a last-minute appointment. That level of care and responsiveness already set them apart.
Dr. Suria was exceptional. She listened attentively to everything I shared, clearly explained each test she was performing and the reasons behind them, and most importantly she was precise and focused in her approach. Unlike other clinics that kept recommending endless tests, she was deliberate and confident in her diagnosis. For the first time, I felt like someone truly understood what was happening with my dog, and that brought me real peace of mind.
Ms. Aarin, an outstanding nurse who was there throughout the consultation. She was so gentle with my dog, and her calm presence helped me stay grounded and fully focused on explaining everything that had been going wrong.
Amber Vet is a rare gem. Every staff member we interacted with showed not just professionalism, but genuine care. The team is an apt embodiment of duty of care towards your pet. It’s only been two days since the visit, and I’m already seeing a significant improvement in my dog’s condition.
I’m truly grateful to have found this clinic—and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants real expertise and heartfelt care for their pet.

Ms. Aarin, an outstanding nurse who was there throughout the consultation. She was so gentle with my dog, and her calm presence helped me stay grounded and fully focused on explaining everything that had been going wrong.
Amber Vet is a rare gem. Every staff member we interacted with showed not just professionalism, but genuine care. The team is an apt embodiment of duty of care towards your pet. It’s only been two days since the visit, and I’m already seeing a significant improvement in my dog’s condition.
I’m truly grateful to have found this clinic—and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants real expertise and heartfelt care for their pet.
Our dog has been a patient at Amber Vet for some time, and recently had surgery on her eyes as well as a dental procedure. The team were very caring and did a great job, the clinic is bright, modern and well equipped. Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Amber Vet and Dr. Loon! Our 7-year-old beagle, Dolly, has been under their care, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional.
Dr. Loon and his team are truly amazing—professional, compassionate, and incredibly skilled. From the moment we walk in, Dolly is treated like family, and it’s clear that her well-being is their top priority. Dr. Loon’s expertise put us at ease, and his genuine kindness made every visit a pleasure. The entire team goes above and beyond, providing top-notch care with a personal touch that’s hard to find.
If you’re looking for a vet who combines brilliance with heart, Amber Vet is the place to go. Dolly gives them two enthusiastic paws up, and so do we!

Amber Vet is an outstanding veterinary practice. All the staff are genuinely caring and thoughtfully invested in the welfare of their patients. We have never encountered someone there who didn't embody this ethos - even their locum vet is lovely. The atmosphere of the practice is calm, caring, clean and competent. They remember who we are and check up on us after our visits.
The nursing staff are not only welcoming and caring but they are highly efficient and capable. Communicating with Naomi and Melissa and the team is easy via phone or WhatsApp. Making requests and discussing care is straightforward and conclusive. You can ask a question and get a response on the same day. The nurses all remember our dog, and I can tell he is less fearful coming here. He can pick up on the vibe that the staff are genuinely happy to see him.
We travel to go to Amber Vet, having not found satisfaction with the (multiple) vets in our more local area. Our dog has a complex, rare illness for which there is almost no expertise in Singapore, meaning we must work closely with our dog's vet here in Singapore and a vet in the USA to ensure we are doing the right thing for him.
The volume of diagnostic information, research and hospital visits that has gone into treating our dog is monumental. We found that trying to share this information with vets and get them up to speed was virtually impossible. They simply didn't have the capacity nor the willingness to invest that level of time and commitment into understanding our dog's very specific needs.
Coming to Amber Vet was the best decision. Dr Loon looked through the information, took the time to fully understand our situation, and even had a phone call with the other vet in the USA. It is a special sort of professional who proactively works with with others, rather than insisting they know everything. We are so grateful that he took the time to do this. I can tell when we go to see him that he is taking his time listening to our dog's heart and lungs and checking him over, and he has added significant clinical and advisory value to the ongoing care of our dog, making tailored and specific recommendations to keep him whole body healthy, rather than just focusing on this illness.
Amber Vet has worked with us to take samples of blood and ship them for specialised testing elsewhere, meaning they have to work with couriers and data from 3rd party laboratory services, and, despite this being unusual and outside their norms, they work with us for the good of our dog.
The exceptional level of tailored, considerate, pragmatic, patient-centred care is just what we need to help us through an emotionally traumatic time. We feel like we have a team in our corner. The result is that we trust and appreciate the care from all the team at Amber Vet and would not want to go anywhere else. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

I brought my rabbit to AmberVet due to a loss of appetite and had a great experience. Booking an appointment was smooth, and the process was very efficient. The vet was knowledgeable and thorough in her check-up, ensuring there was nothing serious. She explained that the recent weather changes might be affecting my rabbit’s appetite and provided helpful supplements. She also advised me on keeping my rabbit’s environment cool and comfortable. Overall, she was very accommodating and made sure my rabbit got the best care. Highly recommended!

Visiting the vet can be an anxious experience for both pets and their owners. At Amber Vet, however, you can rest assured that you and your pet will be well cared for. The warm reception (a big shoutout to Jean!) and dedicated medical team create a comforting environment. They are thorough with follow-up care and sensitive to the emotions felt by both pets and their owners.
The vet and staff are super friendly and really pay attention to the animals. They genuinely care and take their time with each patient. It’s usually not too busy on weekdays, so the whole experience feels calm and stress-free for my dog. Plus, the staff helped with giving medications, which was a huge help! Also there are a few pet friendly cafes nearby.
My female cat just had spay in Amber Vet on 12 Oct and I will have to say Amber Vet provide good services and equipped with a great team of nice staffs and doctors.
Like to specially thanks Dr Loon for doing a great job for performing the operation and making sure my cat is safe during the procedure. 👍🏻
Also thanks to Safder who has been consistently following up during the pre and post surgery, appreciated that.
Thanks to the rest of the team whom I came across, for your assistant and help.
Amber Vet provides a peace in mind for me and thanks once again. 👍🏻

had a positive experience at ambervet, tldr my pet had some dental issues and requires extraction. But amber vet offers more dental services, in this case they used a special treatment called synergy a synthetic bone graft powder that has a chance of regrowing bone loss and filling periodontal pockets. Hopefully all is well for my pet at least for the short term will have to do a review in 6 to 9 months, overall a good vet maybe slightly pricey but they have a niche which warrants the price.
Do consider for a consult if you want a potential alternative to extractions.

This is probably one of the best vet clinics that we have visited so far. Our dogs (Boy boy & Girl girl) used to be under the care of Dr Emma and then Dr Loon after she left.
When we first visited Amber Vet, we could see that our dogs are more comfortable with the place as compared to other clinics. That really speaks something which is why we didn't really mind travelling all the way from Bishan to Siglap for all the appointments or replenishment of medication over the years. The last few years were not easy for Boy boy & Girl girl but you guys really made it much easier for us.
Now that Boy boy & Girl girl are on the other side of the rainbow bridge, we just want to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone at Amber Vet especially Dr Loon, Dr Emma and Melissa for your great service and attentive care all the time!
We wish you guys the best and will definitely recommend Amber Vet and Dr Loon to others. Thank you so much!

I'm so glad that a cat friendly vet has opened up! My cat Jenny is afraid of everything and it's almost impossible taking her to the vet. Although still petrified, Jenny was much calmer and Dr. Loon and the team at Amber Cat Vet really took a lot of care in ensuring she felt comfortable.
We've had so many problems with Jenny's diet and with the new cat food food, new ideas of feeding and entertainment, we're really seeing a difference.
I can't recommend Amber Cat Vet more, especially for nervous cats! 🙂
