PetPal, the first pet care super app in the Philippines, is introducing home vaccinations as their newest service available on their petcare app!
The launch of this new service comes in time for National Pet Wellness Month this October, reminding pet parents about the importance of prioritizing routine veterinary check-ups and preventive care to keep pets healthy and thriving all year round.
In the Philippines, many pet owners go to veterinarians only during emergencies. A Royal Canin survey revealed that an estimated 80% of Filipino pet parents delay appointments until their pets are already ill or require urgent care. PetPal aims to change this reactive approach.
“Our services in PetPal were developed with our customers in mind–allowing them to have more control and flexibility in caring for their pets. Our home vaccinations are no different,” said Martin Luchangco, General Manager of PetPal.
Luchangco highlighted that every home vaccination service ensures pets’ records are instantly updated in the PetPal app, simplifying the process for pet parents to monitor and stay on schedule for their pets’ next vaccinations.
He added, “We want to build that habit of proactive care with our customers, with the PetPal App serving as their digital petcare companion and connecting them to the resources and services they need through our platform.”
Currently, PetPal’s home vaccinations are available within Metro Manila, including cities like Taguig, Makati, Pateros, Pasig, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Marikina, Quezon City, Navotas, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Manila, Pasay, Paranaque, Las Pinas. Service areas also extend to parts of Rizal, Laguna, Cavite, and Bulacan.
Available vaccines include Anti-Rabies and Kennel Cough, as well as combination vaccines like the 5-in-1, 6-in-1, and 8-in-1 for dogs, and the 4-in-1 for cats, with more to come.
Vaccinations start at just P300, excluding professional fees and add-ons.
Pet owners simply need to log into their PetPal app,
- select their preferred vaccination schedule
- choose a veterinarian, and;
- confirm the appointment.
To ensure availability, it is recommended to book at least one week in advance.
