Expired Pet Vaccines Philippines: What You Need To Know – Part 1
Expired Pet Vaccines Philippines: What do you know about them?
Let’s talk about hashtags and expired pet vaccines in the Philippines!
If there’s one hashtag that you need to remember with regard to your pet, it’s this:
#WalangForeverSaVaccines
Yes, pet vaccines expire in the Philippines and worldwide.
I had to emphasize that kasi I have a janitor who once told me: “Doc Sixto, sabi ng Lolo ko mas matagal daw ma-expire ang vitamins na galing sa America!”
Just like any medicines or vitamins, they do expire. Pet vaccines expire, regardless, if you bought them in the Philippines or abroad!
Expired Pet Vaccines Philippines Fact #1
Pet Vaccines have a shelf life. You will find this at the back of the vial, where the expiry date is indicated.
Most reliable companies who manufacture pet vaccines indicate the shelf life of their products.
These reliable companies distribute their pet vaccines through licensed vaccines ONLY. So if you got your pet vaccines through other sources, and NOT from licensed Vets, you have been warned.
Licensed Vets are governed by laws not to give expired vaccines. This way, you and your pets are protected.
Expired Pet Vaccines Philippines Fact #2
“Doc Sixto, pwede pa ba ang vaccines kahit 2 months ng expired, basta di pa nabuksan?”
Licensed Vets strictly follow the rules so you’ll enjoy peace of mind while caring for your pet dogs and cats.
Your trusted Vet will never give expired vaccine shots for the following reasons:
- It will endanger the life of your pet
- It will endanger his Vet practice forever!
- He will lose you as his client forever once you know or you suspect that he is doing something unusual!
For a Vet, it’s a huge risk for us to not follow the rules. After all, our continuing practice relies heavily on the trust of pet owners like you.
Keep in mind: #WalangForeverSaVaccines
Make sure you partner only with a Licensed Vet when caring for your pet dogs and cats!
Enjoy peace of mind,
