The The Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) is the Animal Quarantine Authority for the entry of dogs to Singapore.
For Singapore, read both the Assistance Dog and Standard (pet) Dog Travel Rules provided. For any contradictions, clarify with the Animal Quarantine Authority.
Unfortunately, Singapore charges an import fee, even for Assistance Dogs, even for layovers.
Multiple import licences are available for frequent travellers.
