PetPal, the Philippines' first pet care super app, now offers home vaccinations through its platform. Launched for National Pet Wellness Month in October, this new service highlights the importance of regular veterinary check-ups and preventive care to help pets stay healthy 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.
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.
