PetPal launches home vaccination service for fur babies

As their newest service, home vaccinations are now accessible on PetPal, the first pet care super app in the Philippines!

This new service's October launch coincides with National Pet Wellness Month, reminding pet parents of the value of making regular veterinary examinations and preventive care a priority in order to keep their animals healthy and happy throughout the year.

Many pet owners in the Philippines only visit the vet in an emergency. According to a Royal Canin survey, about 80% of pet parents in the Philippines put off appointments until their animals are sick or in need of emergency care. PetPal wants to alter this reactive strategy.

“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

Every home vaccination service, according to Luchangco, guarantees that pet records are updated instantly in the PetPal app, making it easier for pet parents to keep track of and adhere to their pets' upcoming vaccination schedules.

Metro Manila, which includes Taguig, Makati, Pateros, Pasig, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Marikina, Quezon City, Navotas, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Manila, Pasay, Paranaque, and Las Pinas, is currently where PetPal's home vaccinations are offered. Parts of Cavite, Bulacan, Laguna, and Rizal are also included in the service areas.

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.
