QC Fur Parents, Here's How to Get Free Anti-Rabies Shots for Your Pets
Keep your fur babies safe.
(SPOT.ph) Quezon City fur parents, did you know that the city's veterinary department has been offering residents free anti-rabies vaccination for dogs and cats for years now?
Anti-rabies vaccinations might only cost somewhere between P250 to P500 in the Philippines, but those annual fees can really add up, especially for pet owners with a handful of fur babies.

How to get free anti-rabies vaccine for dogs and cats
Head to 6th Floor Civic Center Building A at the Quezon City Hall to avail of this free service from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays (except holidays). No need to book an appointment, either—this is a first-come-first-serve basis so walk-ins are more than welcome. This service is available until further notice.
Pets must be at least three months old, healthy, not pregnant, and not taking any medications to qualify for an anti-rabies vaccination at the Quezon City Hall. Pet owners bringing two or more pets must be accompanied by at least two people as well.
You will only need to present a valid ID with proof of Quezon City residency. Fill out the log book at the site, wait until your pet is vaccinated, and claim your pet's vaccination card for proper recording and documentation before leaving.
Take note that pets cannot be bathed in the next seven days after vaccination.
The Quezon City Veterinary Department also has weekly schedules for free anti-rabies vaccine, microchipping, and spay/neuter services for selected barangays. Interested? Refer to this document for the September 4 to 8 schedule.
