It’s a tricky situation when our furry friends require medical care during an outbreak. You wonder if your pet’s needs should also still be considered essential when most establishments except hospitals and public markets are closed.
Thanks to our officials from the Department of Agriculture, the confusion was cleared, as veterinary clinics were eventually allowed to operate under a skeletal force. Our pets’ needs are indeed important during an outbreak, after all.
Here are 10 veterinary clinics around Metro Manila that will welcome your pets’ urgent needs with open arms while we are still on quarantine.

Vets in Practice has thankfully opened their branches in Mandaluyong, Quezon City, Alabang, and Fort on a by-appointment basis. Call the hospital first to book your slot, as only those with immediate needs at the moment are encouraged to go to their branches, and walk-ins are not allowed.

Social distancing is observed too as owners won’t be allowed inside their premises. Pets should be put on a carrier and handed over to a staff member instead. Consultation with the veterinarian on duty will be done over the phone.
Owners whose pets are fine but simply running out of food supplies can also contact the hospital for delivery of the following pet food brands: Apoquel, Cazitel, Revolution, Simparica, and Pet Tabs.
Full list of addresses and opening hours available here.
