PetPal, the Philippines’ first pet care super app, is excited to announce the launch of home vaccinations as its latest service available through the app!
Timed perfectly for National Pet Wellness Month this October, this new offering highlights the importance of routine veterinary check-ups and preventive care to keep pets healthy and thriving throughout the year.
In the Philippines, many pet owners typically visit veterinarians only in emergencies. A Royal Canin survey revealed that approximately 80% of Filipino pet parents postpone appointments until their pets are unwell or in need of urgent care. PetPal is here to change that reactive mindset.
“Our services at PetPal were designed with our customers in mind, giving them greater control and flexibility in caring for their pets. Home vaccinations are no exception,” said Martin Luchangco, General Manager of PetPal.
Luchangco emphasized that each home vaccination service updates pets’ records instantly in the PetPal app, making it easier for pet parents to monitor and stay on track for their pets’ next vaccinations.
“We aim to foster a habit of proactive care among our customers, with the PetPal App serving as their digital pet care companion and connecting them to the resources and services they need,” he added.
Currently, PetPal’s home vaccination services are available in Metro Manila, covering cities such as Taguig, Makati, Pateros, Pasig, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Marikina, Quezon City, Navotas, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Manila, Pasay, and Parañaque, as well as parts of Rizal, Laguna, Cavite, and Bulacan.
The available vaccines include Anti-Rabies and Kennel Cough, along with 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 options on the way.
Vaccinations start at just P300, excluding professional fees and additional services.
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.
