AAVC
History
AAVC first came about in the
third quarter of 2007 with the concept of making it into a
“client-patient family style” veterinary clinic as well as
providing avian hospitalization and medical treatment.
AAVC is not an avian
specialist clinic but has on staff, veterinarian who has an interest in avian
medicine and has undergone further avian training and conferences overseas with
avian specialists from
With months of intense
planning, the realization of AAVC came into reality on 25th April
2008, with her team of 4 specially selected members.
We are but a very young
clinic, and hope that we’ll be able to gain your pets’ trust, and
your support. We strive to bring a new level of veterinary care to your pets by
advising the appropriate medical/welfare care and treatment for your pets when
necessary. This is how AAVC’s “family-style” approach is
realized.
After all, at AAVC we
believe Family’s First, and
your pet is a part of your family. We aim to enhance years of healthy life for
your “special family member”.
Dr Kenneth Tong &
Associates are the residing veterinarians throughout the week.
AAVC

veterinary medical care to all species of animals both great and small, while
promoting preventative medicine in pets and awareness on veterinary public
health and animal welfare.
AAVC
Vets Values
We
aim to keep treatment cost affordable to the general masses while not
compromising the quality of veterinary services and will offer the optimal
approach to each case initially, but tailor it to each client’s needs or
constrains when needs be.
At
all time, we at AAVC will have both the clients’ and patients' best interests
at heart.
Our core
values:
·
Integrity,
·
Compassion,

Professionalism,

Responsibility.
As
deemed fit, AAVC Vets will occasionally offer preventative/prophylactive
procedures for your pets (Dental scaling, blood profiling) to detect any early
disease process and hence initial treatment before clinical signs/symptoms.
Occasionally,
AAVC may not have the expertise or facilities to handle certain medical
conditions, in such instances, AAVC veterinarians at their discretion will
provide a referral to an appropriate veterinary-specialist or medical centre
that is able to provide your pet with the optimal healthcare and treatment.
We
strive to put our clients and their pets’ health and well-being first at
AAVC, and will advise what is best for our patients and what is in the best
interest for our clients. After all “Family’s First” is
AAVC’s statement, and your pet is a part of the family; your family and
our family.
We

humane grounds.
