Always be ready for pet's vet visits! 🐾

We know how much you love your pets, but sometimes vet expenses can be overwhelming ('di ba?). Here are some tips to help you save and make sure you’re ready to care for them:

1️⃣ Set up a "Pet Fund"
Set aside even just ₱20-₱50 a day for your pet. Small amounts can add up over time to cover unexpected or planned expenses.

2️⃣ Watch out for promos
We offer discounts and promos for vaccines, spay/neuter, and other services. Follow our page to stay updated!

3️⃣ Prioritize preventive care
Regular check-ups and vaccines go a long way in preventing bigger illnesses and expenses. As they say, prevention is better than cure!

4️⃣ Don’t be afraid toask
Planning a major procedure for your fur baby? Let us know so we can help you budget or check if flexible payment options are available.

5️⃣ Observe your pets closely
Pay attention to changes in their behavior, eating habits, or energy levels. Catching early signs of illness like loss of appetite, unusual lumps, or coughing can prevent more serious health issues later.

6️⃣ DIY Pet Toys and Treats
Save on toys and treats by making them yourself at home. Use the money you save for vet visits!

Ma-kati? Bilugan? Ma-pula? 🦠🩸

Did you know that ringworm can affect not just your pets but also you and your family? It’s a common skin infection caused by a fungus, not an actual worm (despite the name!). Here’s what you need to know:

*What does Ringworm look like?
You might notice patches of hair loss, flaky or crusty skin, or even small bald spots on your pets. On us, hoomans, it often shows up as a red, itchy, round rash.

*How does it spread?
Ringworm spreads super easily! It can pass from pet to pet, or even from pets to humans, just by touching infected fur, skin, bedding, or surfaces.

*Who’s at risk?
Cats, especially kittens, and dogs can both catch and spread ringworm. Younger pets or those with weaker immune systems are more likely to get it.

*Why regular vet visits matter
Sometimes, ringworm isn’t easy to spot until it’s already spreading. That’s why regular check-ups are so important! Your vet can catch and treat it early, keeping your pets healthy and your family safe.

*What to do?
👉🏻Wash your hands after cuddling your pets.
👉🏻Clean your pet’s bedding, toys, and grooming tools often.
👉🏻Vacuum regularly to get rid of fungal spores around your home.

Don’t wait! Call us today to schedule a visit. We’re here to help your pets stay healthy and happy—and to keep your whole family safe from sneaky infections like ringworms!

From Stiff to Swift!

Is your pet having a tough time with stairs or slowing down on walks? It might be more than just “getting older”—it could be osteoarthritis! This condition isn’t just for humans, our pets can feel those joint aches too.

But here’s the great news: with proper treatment and care, pets can bounce back to living their best lives! Just look at our star patient! Once hesitant and struggling to climb, this cute doggo is now zipping up the stairs like a pro!

Here’s what you can watch for:
Difficulty climbing stairs or jumping on furniture.
Stiffness after waking up.
Limping or favoring a leg.
Hesitance to play or go for walks.

What helps? We offer tailored treatment plans, including medications, supplements, weight management, and therapy. Every pet’s journey is unique, but the goal is the same: making life easier and pain-free for them!

If you notice these signs in your pets, don’t wait—schedule a consultation today. Let’s help them move with joy again! 💕

Ang wais pet owner, taun-taon pinababakunahan ang alagang a*o at pusa laban sa rabies! ​

​Kung kayo ay may tita/kuting na wala pang 3 buwang gulang, ilayo muna ito sa ibang mga hayop at pabakunahan kapag ito ay edad 3 buwan na. ​

​Maki-isa at maging responsableng pet owner para sa rabies-free Philippines!​

Yesterday, a pet was brought to our clinic with a serious injury. The poor dog had come home with an open wound on its abdomen, and it was clear that immediate care was needed.

Our team got to work right away. We cleaned the wound thoroughly to remove dirt and bacteria, then carefully closed it with sutures to help it heal properly. A temporary bandage was placed, and we gave medications to prevent infection and manage pain.

Now, the next steps are in the hands of the loving owner. With proper home care, keeping the wound clean, following medication instructions, and ensuring the pet gets plenty of rest, there’s a good chance for full recovery.

This case is a reminder of how quickly accidents can happen and how important it is to seek care as soon as possible. We’re glad we could help, and we’ll continue to be here for every pet in need.

For emergencies or routine care, don’t hesitate to contact Zacarias Animal Clinic. We’re here to help!

In those precious first moments after birth, newborn puppies need special care to ensure a healthy start. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when puppies come into the world at our clinic.

This little pup just made its debut, and we’re gently clearing the airways to help it breathe on its own. Suctioning any remaining amniotic fluids from the nose and mouth is a quick but vital step we take to support each puppy’s first breaths.

Our team is here to make sure every newborn gets the best care from the very beginning, giving each one a strong start for a happy, healthy life.

If you’re welcoming puppies at home, it’s important to learn these vital steps too! Don’t hesitate to ask our vets how to help newborns safely transition in those critical first minutes. We’re here for you every step of the way! 💕
