Fyi...
Aside from getting your pets neutered and completing their vaccines, you might want to consider microchipping, another thing that can keep your furry friends safe and protected.
According to Quezon City Veterinary Department Division Chief Dr. Rey del Napoles, a microchip is a small device that is implanted under a pet’s skin. It contains a serial number that gives it its own identity.
Napoles said microchipping can identify our pets — and their owners — should they get lost. Once a lost pet is found, veterinarians or pet rescuers can scan the pet's microchip to retrieve the pet owner's contact information.
Currently, there are few LGUs in Metro Manila and outside the captical offering free pet microchipping to the public. This service usually comes with anti-rabies vaccination and sometimes neutering.
Quezon City, Pasig City, and Davao City are some of the few that are regularly providing pet microchipping services to its residents.
