0 Pet Vaccine Companies Philippines:  Know Whom To Trust

Hello Responsible Pet Owners,

Ever wonder who are the trusted pet vaccine companies Philippines?

Pet owners often ask me about the types of vaccines that their pets need or the pet vaccine schedule on when to have their vaccine shots or the age when they should start their first shot …

… but only ONE Pet Mom asked me about pet vaccine companies in the Philippines.

Her Shih Tzu is scheduled for 5in1 vaccination.  I was about to give Fluffy her shot when her Pet Mom asked me:

“Doc, ano po ang brand ng vaccine nyo po?”

Initially, I though she is working for one company that manufactures pet vaccines in the Philippines and I braced myself for a long sales pitch.

I was wrong.

She is one concerned responsible pet mom … and I applaud her for asking the question.

Before knowing the types of vaccine, the schedule of puppy vaccines, about booster shots, she is right.  You have to know if your vet’s vaccine comes from a reliable company.

In my years of dealing with pet vaccine companies in the Philippines, I have learned  who are the most reliable.

Here are the things that you need to know about …

Pet Vaccine Companies Philippines: How To Know Who Are Reliable

1. Is the company established?  How long has the company been in existence?  

Here’s what you need to know:

• Zoetis is a spinoff of Pfizer, which existed starting in 1950s.  

According to Wikipedia, “Zoetis is the world’s largest producer of medicine and vaccinations for pets and livestock.”

• Merial is founded in 1997
• Virbac is founded in 1968

2. Where is the main company based?  

Companies based in advanced countries have an edge here.  They have to follow stringent country policies in the production of their vaccines.  Their facilities are regularly inspected.  So you can be assured of the quality of vaccines that they manufacture.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Zoetis’ headquarters is in the US
• Merial’s headquarters is in France
• Virbac is based in France

3. Does it have an office here in the Philippines? In case you want to ask some questions about their vaccines, you can easily contact them

Here’s what you need to know:

• Zoetis is listed in the New York Stock Exchange, operating in countries worldwide. Zoetis Philippines is based in BGC, Taguig
• Merial is found in 150 countries and Merial Philippines is in Legaspi St, Makati City
• Virbac is found in 100 countries and their office here in the Philippines is in BGC, Taguig

There you have it, these are basic facts that you need to know about reliable pet vaccines in the Philippines.

The next time your puppy has her vaccine shots, feel free to ask your Vet about the brand of the vaccine he will give.

Ask him to show you the vial, if you wish.

See if the vaccine is manufactured by Zoetis, Merial or Virbac 🙂

0 Pet Vaccination Schedule: When Is The Recommended Vaccinations Given?

One common question pet owners ask me is this:  What is the proper Pet Vaccination Schedule for my pet?

For pet owners, it is a responsibility to bring your pet to the veterinary clinic and get the recommended vaccines. But most do not know the right time to bring their pets for shots.

Some are too excited to have their pets vaccinated that they want the vaccine shots given too early.  Take note:  there’s a schedule for every type of vaccine.  To read more on the types of vaccine, check out the article here: Pet Vaccination: Is It necessary?

So when should you bring your pet to the vet clinic?

Here is the vaccination schedule recommended by the Philippine Animal Hospital Association:

Pet Vaccination Schedule:  First Month of Your Puppy

For the first month of your pup, no vaccines are given. Your pet will only require deworming and fecalysis.

Your pet will then have the first vaccination of the 5-n-1 vaccine at 6 weeks old and in 3 more schedules thereafter with an interval of 3 weeks each. Just like vaccines given to babies there is the first dose, second dose, third dose, then a booster shot.

Pet Vaccination Schedule: When Should Your Pet get Rabies Vaccination?

Another common question from pet owners is this: when should your pet get a Rabies Vaccination?

As you can see from the chart, you can bring your pet to your vet for rabies shot at 4 months. Some pet parents want their weeks-old pets to get the vaccine, but the recommended age is at 4 months.

If you notice, this is also the time for the third dose of the 5-n-1 vaccine. It is safe for both Rabies vaccine and 5-n-1 vaccine to be given at the same time.

Pet Vaccination Schedule: Is Bortadella Vaccine Really Necessary

On the 18th and 20th week of your furbaby, Bordetella vaccine is given.

This vaccine is recommended as kennel cough is contagious. If your pet has low immune system, then it can be susceptible to the disease.

NOTE:  Most if not all pet boarding facilities require this vaccine to protect your pet.

Pet Vaccination Schedule: What’s Next After Completing My Puppy’s Vaccination Program?

Now that your pet has completed the vaccination program and is doing well, what next?

In the Philippines, to make sure that your pet is in tip top shape and is kept healthy inside out, an annual check should be scheduled. During this vet visit, your pet will be thoroughly checked and the annual vaccines given.

Rabies vaccine should be given every year by law. Then to make sure your pet is protected from common diseases, the 5-n-1 and Bordetella vaccines should also be given. These can be given during the annual check up as long as your pet is well.

Here is the recommended vaccination for adult dogs:

Pet Vaccination Schedule may be complicated at first, but just like everything, you, as the pet owner, will be able to handle it. After all you are after the well being of your fur baby.

If you need to know more about the pet vaccination, do not hesitate to ask your veterinarian about the pet vaccination schedule.
