Our founder, Dr. Rachel Tong grew up with a mini zoo at home. At any point in time, she and her family had no fewer than ten pets. The first dog they ever adopted was a Shetland Sheepdog named Leslie, who sadly passed away due to nose cancer which was detected too late.
Leslie's death spurred Dr. Rachel to become a vet; and she has been able to use her knowledge and expertise since then to ensure all the family pets lead healthy and happy lives. With the goal of doing the same for all pets, she founded Spring Veterinary Care.
At Spring Veterinary Care, we strongly believe in treating all pets like our own, Regardless of the species of pet or severity of their conditions, we always ask ourselves the same question: “How would we treat these pets if they were ours?” This is because we believe that we must be comfortable to give the exact same treatment to our pets if they were to have the same condition.
To become the most trusted and preferred provider of veterinary care to pets through the best-in-class clinical practice and continual education.
To contribute to the health and well-being of pets by providing the best care to every patient at an affordable cost.
To introduce Traditional Chinese Medicine as an option in combination with veterinary medical science to enhance treatment of pets.
To inspire pet owners to further improve the wellness of their pets by embracing preventive medical care.
