Dr. Frederic Chua

Biography

Dr Frederic Chua’s approach to veterinary treatments reflect his firm belief that pets are an integral part of the family. He values engaging with family members on how pets behave or are treated at home when evaluating their illnesses. Having been a vet since 1987, he has accumulated a spectrum of vet related experiences in the military and government sectors, heading the Aquatic Animal Health Section of AVA, before becoming the Curator of Underwater World Singapore.  As he was born into a family which bred pedigree dogs (and with cats in tow), clients will not only benefit from his wide knowledge in a variety of exotic pets, fish and marine mammals, but also from his first love of dogs. In his career, Fred has discovered 2 novel fish viruses, was awarded the prestigious Highland and Agricultural Society Silver medal from the UK and served as a member of the Expert Consultation Panel on Aquatic Health under the FAO.
