The Veterinary Practice Bill arrives against a backdrop of mounting public concerns about care costs and an overall pet care ecosystem that still has significant gaps, said MP Louis Chua. Speaking in parliament in Wednesday (Apr 8), he pointed out that more can be done to develop a fully functional animal health and welfare ecosystem. He proposed ways to build a thriving animal care ecosystem in five areas - strengthening the pipeline of veterinary professionals, plugging the brain drain faced by the industry, recognising the contributions of veterinary professionals, enhancing consumer protection measures within the industry and tightening the enforcement regime for pet groomers and trainers.
