PetPal begins offering vaccinations for fur babies at home

“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. 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.” ~Martin Luchangco, General Manager of PetPal

PetPal, the Philippines' first pet care super app, is now offering home vaccinations as a new service on their app!

The launch of this new service coincides with National Pet Wellness Month in October, reminding pet parents of the importance of prioritizing routine veterinary check-ups and preventive care to keep their pets healthy and thriving all year.

In the Philippines, many pet owners only visit veterinarians in emergencies. According to a Royal Canin survey, approximately 80% of Filipino pet parents postpone appointments until their pets are sick or require urgent care. PetPal wants to change this reactive approach.

Luchangco stated that every home vaccination service ensures that pets' records are instantly updated in the PetPal app, making it easier for pet parents to monitor and stay on track for their pets' next vaccinations.

Currently, PetPal offers home vaccinations in Metro Manila, including Taguig, Makati, Pateros, Pasig, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Marikina, Quezon City, Navotas, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Manila, Pasay, Paranaque, and Las Pinas. Service areas also include 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,

1. select their preferred vaccination schedule

1. choose a veterinarian, and;

1. confirm the appointment.

 
To ensure availability, it is recommended to book at least one week in advance.
