1. Be Kind To Pets Community Veterinary Education Project
Be Kind To Pets

Toa Payoh Vets is a private small-animal practice in Singapore. It was started in 1982 by Dr Sing Kong Yuen to provide a more personalised boutique service to Singapore pet owners.  

Since 1997, Toa Payoh Vets have been making corporate social responsibility as part of its giving back to the pet and veterinary community in Singapore.

 Vets, staff and interns do clinical research and education of Singapore pet owners by participating actively in the main project, Be Kind To Pets. This commenced around 1997 when the internet was at its infancy and when web pages were grey. A large collection of case studies have had been published in the world wide web.

Be Kind To Pets share veterinary information to more people worldwide via the internet.  
 
Educating pet owners about good pet and veterinary students about real-life challenges in veterinary medicine and surgery is part of Toa Payoh Vets' mission  

 Singapore Idol Toa Payoh VetsEducation passes knowledge from one generation to another enabling progress and learning from failures and challenges.

 We research and write articles to educate a younger generation of pet owners and veterinary students all over the world using real case studies, using the internet platforms.
 
 This project was started by Dr Sing Kong Yuen in 1997.  Our internet articles enable more pet owners and others to share information and learn how to be kind to pets. Some case studies are shown below:

3. Free Toilet Training Advices to Singapore pet owners
grate training + treats for a clever puppy, toapayohvets, singaporeDr Sing's interviews of over 600 cases of Singapore puppies and their house-breaking challenges. Most puppy sellers don't provide toilet training advices and most Singaporeans don't have sufficient toilet training knowledge. Therefore reading the cases of situations encountered may help them. Or they can e-mail judy@toapayohvets.com to get some free advices.
4. Blogs and videos to make veterinary medicine and surgery alive to vet students and pet owners
There is too much to study in veterinary medicine and surgery - dogs, cats and other animals unlike human medicine which focus only on people. The case studies seen at Toa Payoh Vets will make veterinary studies more interesting to the vet students as these are real  cases encountered by Dr Sing Kong Yuen in Singapore and some countries like Myanmar overseas.  
5. Internship for Singaporean students who wish to be vets
Qualified interns are required to do write veterinary reports or produce videos so that they learn better rather than being an observer at Toa Payoh Vets. Most interns have no animal handling experiences as they live in urbanised Singapore and internship at Toa Payoh Vets enables them to know whether they are interested in studying to be vets. Some projects done by interns are:  
6. Inspiring stories/images to impart good values to the young Singaporeans
It is difficult to impart good values as the Singaporean parents are usually working long hours. Some life stories, music and images may inspire the young readers.
