A barangay in Pasig City launched on Thursday, Feb. 23, a free anti-rabies vaccination and microchipping program for pets as part of its efforts in preventing the spread of rabies in the community and decrease the number of cases of lost pets.
The vaccination and microchipping program was held along Escriva Drive in Barangay San Antonio and is a joint collaboration between the BSA and the Pasig City Veterinary Services Department.
“It is very important to vaccinate pets against rabies in order to prevent the viral disease as rabies is a serious illness that can result in death, while microchipping pets provides secure, reliable, and permanent identification, which greatly increases the likelihood that their pets, if lost, will be returned home to them,” Lising said.
The program was done in collaboration with the Bureau of Animal Industry , Philippine Animal Hospital Association , Veterinarians Association of the Philippines , City Veterinarians of NCR, and other animal welfare organizations and groups. The microchips contain the registered identification of the pet and its owner as well as information on the pet’s vaccination history.
