Meet Dr Vanessa Lin

Our Story & Philosophy
My Family Vet was born from a simple belief: every pet deserves compassionate, high-quality veterinary care, and every pet owner deserves peace of mind. Since opening our doors in 2012, we've become a trusted part of the Bukit Batok community, caring for countless furry, feathered, and scaled family members.
We pride ourselves on offering ethical and personalized care that puts your pet's wellbeing first. Our approach combines modern veterinary medicine with alternative therapies, giving you comprehensive treatment options tailored to your pet's unique needs. We believe in treating every patient as if they were our own family – because to us, they are.
Beyond routine check-ups and vaccinations, we provide emergency services and house calls throughout Singapore for your convenience. Whether it's a late-night emergency or a pet who feels more comfortable at home, we're here to help. Our goal is not just to treat illness, but to prevent it through accessible, preventative healthcare that keeps your pets healthy and happy for years to come.

Our Non-Euthanasia Philosophy
At My Family Vet, we do not euthanize animals with treatable conditions. Euthanasia is only offered as a last resort when treatment is not effective, or to relieve suffering from terminal illnesses that compromise quality of life.
We recommend that all cases go through our veterinarian to determine if the pet is suffering or if the condition is treatable. Before any procedures, our veterinarian will explain in detail our recommendations and help you make an informed decision that's best for your pet.
Financial Policy & Payment Options
We strive to offer high-quality, ethical, and personalized care while ensuring you receive the best advice possible. By investing in continuous veterinary education, hiring and training skilled staff, and purchasing advanced equipment and medications, we provide the utmost care for both you and your pet.
Full payment is required at the time services are rendered or items are dispensed. For your convenience, we accept Cash, NETS, VISA, MASTERCARD, and PAYWAVE. All outstanding invoices must be paid upon discharge of hospitalized patients and completion of consultations for outpatients.
Before any procedures are performed, you will receive a detailed cost estimate in advance. Please don't hesitate to inform us if you have any financial concerns – we'll work with you to provide the necessary treatment for your pet within your budget.
