Animal Quarantine Centre (AQC)

The Animal Quarantine Centre (AQC) provides quarantine facilities and services for imported dogs and cats. These services help to ensure that exotic diseases such as rabies are not introduced into Singapore.

As part of the Animal Quarantine Centre’s (AQC) efforts to better safeguard and maintain a high standard of biosecurity, we are reducing the visiting hours to minimise any risk of potential disease transmission among our visitors and quarantined animals. The revised visiting hours shown below will take effect from 15 June 2024.

 

Visiting Hours (with effect from 15 June 2024)

Tuesdays & Thursdays

3 pm - 5 pm

Saturdays

2 pm - 5 pm

All other days and Public Holidays

The Animal Quarantine Centre remains dedicated to the care and well-being of pets under quarantine. Even on non-visiting days, the centre will continue to operate daily as per normal. Our staff on-site are trained to carry out animal husbandry duties which includes walking, feeding, watering and administration of medication (if required). The centre also has veterinarian(s) on-site who will monitor all quarantined animals during the quarantine period.
