Dr. Tarlochan Singh – Your Friendly Local Vet
Head Veterinarian and Surgeon
Dr. Tarlochan Singh graduated from the Queensland University Veterinary School in 1999. After working with small animals in Melbourne and Canada, he established our East Bentleigh vet clinic as a single vet practice registered in Victoria in 2004. That’s how East Bentleigh Animal Care was born.
Tarlochan has a passion for quality care and small animal surgery and has a strong focus on preventative care. Dr Tarlochan’s vision was to create a friendly local vet centre – a caring environment where clients and patients are treated with equal love and care.

My name is Jagdeep Singh. We have recently relocated to Melbourne from Christchurch, New Zealand. We are a family of five, which includes my lovely wife, our 2 boys and our adorable daughter.
With over 15 years of experience as a veterinarian, I have worked across a range of fields. This includes working for a mixed animal practice in South Canterbury, and a regulatory role with the New Zealand government, where I particularly enjoyed safeguarding the animal welfare.
In my spare time, I enjoy getting my hands dirty in the garden (I love growing vegetables), and cooking different cuisines.
