🌟Cavy-savvy vet clinics in Singapore🌟(June 2025)

Medical care is a crucial aspect of guinea pig ownership, so we are happy to share our list of recommended cavy-savvy vet clinics in Singapore! This list is based on the team’s experience with each clinic and the respective vets. If you need a specific vet recommendation from one of these clinics, send us a DM and we’ll be glad to help!

1️⃣Why specifically a cavy-savvy vet?

General veterinarians may not have the specialised medical knowledge or hands-on experience to treat guinea pigs. This can make it more challenging for them to identify cavy-unique symptoms and illnesses, which may affect diagnosis and prognosis.

2️⃣What sets a cavy-savvy vet apart from general practitioners?✨

Vet clinics are equipped to treat ‘traditional’ pets such as dogs and cats, but may lack medical tools designed for small animals. Cavy-savvy clinics usually have specialised diagnostic and surgical equipment tailored for guinea pigs and other exotics.

Most cavy-savvy vets also hold additional specialist qualifications in small animal/exotic pet practice. Their treatment philosophy with guinea pigs often leans conservative such as using lower medical doses or recommending less invasive treatments such as nebulisation. These approaches can be more suitable for guinea pigs, which may be susceptible to medical issues, and understanding them helps you choose a vet whose methods align with your pet’s needs and your own values.

3️⃣What are GPRS-affliated vet clinics? ✨

GPRS-affiliated vet clinics work closely with our rescue by providing the best possible medical care to our foster guinea pigs at a charity rate. We rely on these trusted clinics for all our guinea pig medical needs. Our heartfelt thanks to and for their continued support towards GPRS 💖

In Loving Memory of Gen & Jasmine 🌈

🚨TW: Pre-cremation/death imagery🚨

It’s not uncommon for the rescue to receive sick guinea pigs, and we do our best to nurse them back to health in hopes of giving them a second chance at life. Sadly, for Gen and Jasmine, their time with us was heartbreakingly short.

The girls were surrendered in concerning states. A vet visit confirmed multiple issues: ear infections, a urinary tract infection with an inflamed bladder, and other chronic complications. Despite immediate care, they deteriorated rapidly and stopped eating, growing too weak to even swallow when we syringe-fed CC. They were clearly suffering.

We made the difficult decision to have them peacefully PTS to spare them any further pain. Popcorn-free sweet Gen and Jasmine. We’re so sorry we didn’t get more time with you.

A gentle reminder: guinea pigs are delicate animals that require prompt and sometimes costly veterinary care. Please be prepared for the lifelong responsibility when choosing to bring them into your life.

Peep the potato portraits from our small pet photography fundraiser at the recent Siglap’s Pets Day Out event📸 organised by

In case you didn’t know, at most events we offer basic grooming and ‘donate-as-you-wish’ pet photography for your furry ones as a way to raise funds for our small rescue.

A big thank you to all who went out of the way to visit us at these past events! We even had guinea parents coming from far and wide to show their support🥹

We can’t wait to meet more of you at the next event (happening soon 👀) stay tuned for more updates!

Surrendered due to “aggression”, Email (spayed, 5YO) is anything but. This misunderstood gal just isn’t a fan of being carried and much rather head rubs with all four paws on the ground.

Email’s also a bit of a kaypoh, always popping her head out to see what you’re up to. She lives for soft beds, demands her meals with the cutest wheeks, and sometimes lies down mid-meal 😂. Her occasional popcorns are also entertaining to watch!

Despite her big personality, Email is on the skittish side and would thrive in a patient home that respects her space. Could that be you? Hit the link in our bio to submit an adoption form!

Note: Email requires at least a cage mate.

✨Up For Adoption✨

Momo (or Max), a 4.5-year-old long-haired boar is looking for a forever home!

This charming fluffball is smart, vocal at mealtimes, and loves zoomies and popcorning. While a little shy, he warms up with patience and enjoys chin rubs. He’ll need a spacious 4x2 C&C cage, weekly grooming, and regular hygiene care.

If you’re ready to give him the love and care he deserves, hit the link in our bio to submit an adoption form.

Note: Momo requires at least one cage mate (male or sterilised female).

SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION 🎉

Back in January 2024, Bubbles was found wandering near a primary school. Thank goodness a student secured her before calling GPRS! When we took her in, she was concerningly skinny and barely had any hair. Prompted by a vet’s diagnosis, we later made a special appeal for donations to fund her uterine mass removal surgery, in addition to spaying. Fast-forward to now, we are delighted that she has not only grown all her beautiful locks back, but also found a forever home - a two-storey mansion shared with two new friends - Tilly & Poppy! What a glow up! Our deepest gratitude to all who have given generously to Bubbles’ vet fund!

A message from Bubble’s new parent: “It’s been a joy adding Bubbles (previously named Green Bean) to our piggy herd, making our duo into a trio. Initially, she was very timid and skittish. Whenever we approach, she’d dash off quickly to hide like an oversized roborovski hamster. But once she’d settled into her new home and earned her place in the potato hierarchy, she’s grown to be very vocal and active. She’s even started challenging the resident alpha despite being 300g lighter. Just yesterday, she screamed at me when I opened a bag of potato chips 🥲 We look forward to discovering more of her quirks as she continues to open up to us.”

OUR STORY

We are the first non-profit organisation for guinea pigs in Singapore. At Guinea Pig Rescue Singapore (GPRS), we rescue, rehabilitate and rehome guinea pigs. Our mission is to give every guinea pig a second chance in life. We believe every life matters.

GPRS is here to advocate adoption and educate the public about guinea pig welfare. They are fragile creatures despite their huge personalities. Often, first-time owners do not realise that guinea pigs come with considerable requirements and commitments. They are neither low-maintenance nor are they starter-pets.

“I have been actively rescuing guinea pigs in poor conditions and rehoming since November 2016. In hopes to advance my volunteer work, I decided to set up GPRS to help more guinea pigs, with the support of fellow guinea pig lovers.” - Felicia Tan, Founder
