Puppy prices in Singapore

Quick answer

One Singapore seller currently publishes puppy prices from S$3,288 to S$12,888 across its breeds. That is a seller’s range, not a market average. Compare individual quotes, included care and ongoing costs before deciding.

What do different breeds cost?

These are Puppy Singapore’s published bands, read on 15 September 2026. They are advertised prices, not independently verified sale transactions. Availability and individual quotes can differ.

Breed Advertised range (S$)
Toy Poodle 3,488–5,988
Shih Tzu 3,988–5,288
Maltese 4,288–5,988
Dachshund 4,288–6,088
Golden Retriever 4,588–5,500
Shiba Inu 4,788–6,500
Pomeranian 4,888–5,388
French Bulldog 6,800–8,800

The seller says its prices include vaccinations to date, deworming, a vet check, microchip and health and ancestry records. Get the terms for the particular puppy in writing. This listing is not an endorsement of a seller or a recommendation to choose a breed on price.

How do I compare two quotes?

Ask both sellers the same questions:

  • What is the total payable, including GST and any extras?
  • Which vaccinations and health checks have been completed, and can I see the records?
  • What identification, licence and contract documents will I receive?
  • What care will I need to arrange after taking the puppy home?

Record the answers side by side. A lower purchase price can include fewer services; a higher price does not establish better health. Check housing eligibility separately using our HDB guide.

What should I budget after buying?

Build a first-year plan for equipment, food, vet care, grooming and unexpected bills. Costs depend on the dog and your choices. Our Singapore cost calculator shows editable scenarios rather than a guaranteed total.

Could I adopt instead?

Ask a shelter about its current dogs, suitability process, fee and included procedures. Do not assume every adoption fee includes the same veterinary work. Our small-dog adoption guide explains the available routes, while Causes for Animals publishes its own charges.

What should I check before paying?

Verify the seller through AVS, meet the dog, review the paperwork and confirm what happens if a health problem is identified. See our buying-a-puppy checklist and puppies-for-sale guide for the next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Is a cheap puppy necessarily a scam?

Price alone cannot establish whether a seller is legitimate. Check the seller’s identity, licence, records and contract before paying.

Are these Singapore market averages?

No. The table is an attributed snapshot of one seller’s published prices, checked on 15 September 2026. It is a starting point for comparison, not a comprehensive market survey.
