ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Imagine your furry friend, your most loyal companion, is suddenly not feeling well. You notice theyโ€™ve been having digestive issuesโ€”maybe itโ€™s diarrhea after a recent move, a new brand of food, or even an illness. You want to help them feel better, and like many fur parents, you start to wonder if something as simple as Yakult or Erceflora could offer relief. After all, these are trusted probiotics for humans, helping us with digestion and overall gut health.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€But can they work the same wonders for our pets?

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Yakult contains Lactobacillus casei Shirota, a probiotic that helps balance our digestive system, while Erceflora is powered by Bacillus clausii, a beneficial bacteria that restores gut flora after antibiotic use. Both are designed for human consumption, and ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ with stress-related digestive problems like diarrheaโ€”especially when theyโ€™re adjusting to a new place or food, or even during difficult battles with conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or feline infectious peritonitis (FIP).

Yakult, while packed with probiotics, contains lactoseโ€”a substance that many pets struggle to digest. If your dog or cat is lactose intolerant, Yakult could make their symptoms worse, causing more discomfort instead of relief. Erceflora, on the other hand, is often considered a better choice. With no lactose and a strain of bacteria thatโ€™s gentle on the gut, it might just be the answer to calming their tummy troubles. But even then, nothing beats a probiotic supplement made specifically for pets.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€We know you want the best for your pet. Theyโ€™re not just animalsโ€”theyโ€™re family. When theyโ€™re unwell, itโ€™s natural to search for quick solutions. But before reaching for a human probiotic like Yakult or Erceflora, think of whatโ€™s truly best for them. Their bodies are different from ours, and sometimes, even well-meaning remedies can do more harm than good.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Imagine this: every morning, your dog greets you with boundless energy, wagging their tail, ready for a game of fetch or a long walk. But over time, you start to notice theyโ€™re slowing down. The once enthusiastic play sessions are shorter, and they seem to have trouble getting up from their favorite spot. You chalk it up to age, but deep down, you wonder if something more is going on. Obesity is an issue that affects many dogs, often silently creeping up until it starts to impact their daily lives. If your dog is carrying extra weight, it can feel overwhelmingโ€”not just for them, but for you too. The good news? You have the power to make a change that could add years to their life and bring back that playful, joyful spirit you love so much.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€For many of us, feeding our furry friends is an act of love. We enjoy giving them treats, sneaking them table scraps, and making sure their bowls are full. But what if we told you that love could be causing more harm than good? Being overweight puts your dog at risk for painful arthritis, breathing difficulties, and even serious conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Itโ€™s not just about numbers on a scaleโ€”itโ€™s about their quality of life.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Helping your furry friend lose weight isnโ€™t about quick fixes or extreme diets; itโ€™s about small, meaningful changes that make a big difference over time.

But instead of reaching for food, try showing your love in other waysโ€”an extra belly rub, a long cuddle session, or a favorite toy. The love is the same, but without the extra calories.

Take your dog on longer walks, or turn playtime into a fun workout. Fetch, tug-of-war, or even a homemade obstacle course can help burn off those extra poundsโ€”and the best part? Youโ€™re bonding in the process.

๐Ÿฏ. ๐—™๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ: What we feed our dogs matters. Switching to a low-fat, high-fiber food can help your dog feel full and satisfied while shedding pounds. Just remember, every dog is different, so consult your vet before making changes. Your vet will help you find the best plan for your furry friendโ€™s unique needs.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Every dog deserves to feel their best, and as their fur parents, you have the power to make that happen. Itโ€™s not just about weightโ€”itโ€™s about giving them the chance to live fully, with energy, comfort, and joy. If your furry friend is struggling with weight, know that youโ€™re not alone. You can make small, manageable changes that will bring big rewards. It wonโ€™t always be easy, but the love you share with your dog is stronger than any challenge.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Letโ€™s help our furry friends live the life they deserve. Schedule a checkup today and let us work together to bring back that playful spark in their eyes. After all, every wag, every leap, every joyful bark is worth it.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Cats are curious creatures, often finding comfort in the simple pleasures of lifeโ€”basking in the sun, lounging by a window, or resting in a cozy patch of warmth. However, what may seem like a harmless routine for many of our feline friends can sometimes hide a deeper, more dangerous problem. One of the risks many cat owners are unaware of is ๐—ฆ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—–๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ (๐—ฆ๐—–๐—–)โ€”a type of skin cancer that can develop gradually, especially in cats exposed to the sun. SCC often goes unnoticed at first, starting as a small sore or scab that refuses to heal. While it may seem insignificant, the reality is that this quiet threat can become life-threatening if left untreated. Cats with lighter-colored fur, in particular, are more susceptible because their skin lacks the natural pigmentation needed to block harmful UV rays.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma can affect any cat but tends to be more common in those with light or thin fur, as they are more prone to sun damage. It usually appears as a persistent sore, red patch, or scab on areas exposed to sunlightโ€”such as the ears, nose, and face. What may start as a minor wound can develop into something much more serious, leading to pain and discomfort for the cat. Understanding SCC is crucial for fur parents because early detection can make all the difference in treatment outcomes. The sooner it is caught, the better the chances of successful intervention and recovery.

SCC is a subtle disease, often progressing without causing immediate concern. Hereโ€™s what to look for:

๐—” ๐˜„๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ that persists, particularly on sun-exposed areas like the nose, ears, or face

๐—ข๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€ that bleed or form crusts repeatedly

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Cats with SCC may show other signs like discomfort or increased licking or scratching at the affected area. Keep an eye out for changes in behavior, such as avoiding petting in certain areas or an increase in grooming the sore spot. Additionally, this cancer can develop inside a catโ€™s mouth, where symptoms include ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ต, ๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด, or difficulty eating.
ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€
ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€For many cats, the turning point comes when a vigilant owner takes them to the vet after noticing a sore that won't heal. A simple procedure, like ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป (๐—™๐—ก๐—”) or a biopsy, can confirm the presence of Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Early detection is keyโ€”when caught at an early stage. The sooner SCC is identified and treated, the better the chances for a positive outcome.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€If caught early, SCC is treatable, and surgery is often considered the best option, especially when the tumor is small and confined to one area. However, surgery can be expensive, and it doesnโ€™t always guarantee success, particularly in more advanced cases where the cancer has spread. Not all fur parents have the means to pursue this option, and for some, the risks may outweigh the potential benefits. In such situations, exploring alternative treatments that focus on the overall well-being of your furry friend can be a viable option. These therapies emphasize improving the quality of life, offering a balanced approach when traditional methods may no longer be sufficient or affordable.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Here at My Pet Doctor PH, we offer innovative and tailor-made treatment plans designed to provide hope and comfort to the specific needs of both feline friends and their owners. Our commitment is to help cats lead longer, healthier lives with a blend of conventional and alternative care, ensuring that they have access to compassionate and personalized treatment.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€SCC is a reminder that small changes in your catโ€™s behavior or appearance should never be ignored. A tiny, seemingly harmless sore can be an early sign of something more serious. By being proactive and seeking veterinary care when something seems off, you are giving your cat the best chance at a long, healthy life. If you notice any unusual skin changes, persistent sores, or behavior shifts in your pet, itโ€™s essential to consult your vet. Together, we can ensure that our cats continue to enjoy the things they loveโ€”whether thatโ€™s lounging in the sun or curling up in the shadeโ€”with their health and well-being intact.

Founded in 2005, My Pet Doctor PH (LM Valera Veterinary Services) began by offering conventional veterinary consultations focused exclusively on the care of dogs and cats. As years passed, the needs of both pet and pet parent became demanding and pet care evolved. Naturally, our practice adapted in response.

Under the new normal, our clinic in San Juan City, Metro Manila re-opened in 2021, offering both online and in-person consultations. With these services, our expert veterinary care became more accessible, flexible, and responsive to the modern pet parentโ€™s needs.

Alongside this shift, My Pet Doctor PH dedicated its craft to empower pet owners with essentail knowledge needed to better care for their pets - through extensive client education. This method boosts pet ownersโ€™ confidence that their furry companions are receiving the best possible care from us!

Building on the commitment to provide comprehensive pet care, we specialize in promoting longevity and improving the quality of life for pets through a well-balanced approach of blending conventional treatments and holistic principles. Whether it is managing end-stage renal failure, providing geriatric care, or developing customized treatment programs for cancer patients, we are dedicated in supporting pet owners with compassion and innovation.

Today, My Pet Doctor PH is better than ever. A pioneer in Philippine veterinary landscape, it is the first-ever clinic in the country to offer complementary alternative medicine. Backed by years of clinical experience in allopathic medicine, our pursuit of innovation led us to a deeper understanding of clinical homeopathy which is aimed at complementing the bodyโ€™s innate healing processes. Now, four years since we re-opened our doors, we have created something truly special and unique โ€” a one-of-a-kind pet care experience that draws from the strengths of both worlds.

With that vision in mind, let My Pet Doctor PH (LM Valera Veterinary Services) be a part of your journey toward prioritizing your petโ€™s health and well-being.

Because every pet deserves compassionate, innovative care.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€As fur parents, we want nothing more than for our dogs to live happy, healthy lives. But as they age, their bodies begin to slow down, especially when it comes to their joints. If youโ€™ve noticed your dog is becoming less active or struggling with simple tasks like getting up or climbing stairs, glucosamine supplements might be exactly what they need to get back to their playful selves.

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—š๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—š๐—น๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ? While glucosamine is often associated with older dogs, you donโ€™t have to wait until your dog shows signs of joint pain to start. Many veterinarians recommend introducing glucosamine supplements as early as 2 years old, especially for large breeds or active dogs prone to joint issues. Starting early can help prevent future joint problems by supporting cartilage health before significant wear and tear sets in. For most dogs, however, the benefits become crucial in their senior years, typically around age 10 for small dogs and age 6-7 for larger breeds. This is when arthritis and other joint issues are more likely to develop, and glucosamine can play a key role in keeping your dog mobile and pain-free.

Glucosamine is usually given once a day, though some products suggest splitting the dose into two servingsโ€”one in the morning and one in the eveningโ€”for better absorption. Be sure to follow the specific directions on your supplement or consult your vet to ensure your dog is getting the proper dosage for their size and needs.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Stray cats roam our streets, silently searching for food and shelter. You may see them huddled near garbage bins or curling up in a hidden corner, trying to survive. But behind those curious eyes and quiet meows lies a bigger problemโ€”a growing population that faces hunger, sickness, and hardship. The good news is, we can help them.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€The Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR) program offers a humane and effective solution to managing stray cats. Itโ€™s more than just controlling the populationโ€”itโ€™s about giving these cats a chance at a better, healthier life.

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ง๐—ก๐—ฅ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ช๐—ต๐˜† ๐——๐—ผ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—œ๐˜ ๐— ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ?

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€TNR stands for Trap, Neuter, Releaseโ€”a simple yet powerful process. Stray cats are carefully trapped, taken to a vet for spaying or neutering, and then returned to their original location. This prevents them from having more kittens, breaking the cycle of endless litters and suffering. But itโ€™s not just about stopping the births. Itโ€™s about showing kindness to animals who are often overlooked. With TNR, these cats get a second chance. They return to their familiar surroundings, healthier and without the stress of constant mating, fighting, or competing for territory.

๐—ช๐—ต๐˜† ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ช๐—ฒ ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€?

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Imagine this: a mother cat gives birth to a litter of kittens in a busy alleyway. She struggles to find enough food, and the kittens, fragile and hungry, face a difficult future. Without intervention, this cycle repeats, with more cats being born into lives filled with uncertainty.

Removing or relocating these cats may seem like a quick fix, but it doesnโ€™t address the real issueโ€”the โ€œholding capacityโ€ of the area. As long as thereโ€™s food available (like exposed trash or well-meaning people feeding them), other cats will move in to take their place. But TNR stops the cycle before it starts. By neutering the cats and returning them, we ensure they live peacefully in their environment without multiplying.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€TNR is about balance. It allows us to coexist with the cats in our communities in a way that benefits both them and us. With fewer kittens being born, thereโ€™s less pressure on resources, and the remaining cats are healthier, calmer, and less likely to spread disease. Stray cats can even be our alliesโ€”they help keep rodent populations in check, all while living quietly among us. For you, this means less noise from mating calls, fewer cats wandering aimlessly, and a cleaner, more harmonious neighborhood.

ใ€€ใ€€ใ€€Every community has a story, and the stray cats are a part of it. By supporting TNR, youโ€™re helping to rewrite their story from one of endless struggle to one of hope and care. You can be part of the solution by organizing or supporting TNR programs in your area. Together, we can break the cycle of suffering and create a future where cats and communities thrive side by side. Letโ€™s open our hearts and make a differenceโ€”one cat at a time. Compassion starts with a simple act, and with TNR, that act can change lives forever.
