BE a responsible owner, have your pets vaccinated to prevent rabies.
The Office of the City Veterinarian at the Motorpool Compound, Delgado Street in City Proper, Iloilo City is offering free anti-rabies vaccination of dogs and cats for walk-in clients.
25 pets were vaccinated against deadly rabies on Aug 1-9, 2019. The activity catered to those who missed the Mass Pets Anti-Rabies Vaccination in the barangays during summer.
Meanwhile, the Animal Population Control Program includes spaying or castration and neutering or removal of ovaries of pets. Seven pets were spayed and neutered during the same period.
