Top 5 Reasons Why Parvo Is Still Winning in the Philippines

And What Every Pet Owner Needs to Know Before It’s Too Late

Despite all the medical advances, despite the availability of vaccines, and despite countless awareness campaigns… parvovirus is still winning in the Philippines.

Every week, veterinary clinics all over the country admit puppies—lethargic, vomiting, not eating, bloody stool. The heartbreaking truth? Many of these deaths are preventable.

Let’s talk about why parvo continues to thrive in our communities—so we can finally stop it.

🦠 1. Vaccination Delay or Skip

Many pet owners still believe, “Saka na muna ang bakuna, bata pa.”
But parvo strikes hardest in young puppies—especially between 6 to 16 weeks old. This is exactly the age they need protection the most.

What’s worse? Some skip vaccination entirely, thinking vitamins or “malakas naman siya” is enough.

💥 Truth bomb:
No vaccine = no defense.
Without the full set of core vaccines, your puppy is a target.

🐕 2. “Backyard Breeders” and Unregulated Selling

Puppies are being sold online, in markets, or by casual breeders who have zero vet supervision and no vaccine records.

They hand over cute 5-week-old puppies with a ribbon—but no medical history.
By the time the buyer notices something’s wrong, it’s already too late.

💥 Reminder:
Buying from unregistered breeders fuels the cycle.
Adopt responsibly. Ask for legit vet cards with vaccine dates.

🧪 3. “Self-Medication” Culture

The minute their pet starts to vomit or lose appetite, some owners run to the botika—not the vet.
They give antibiotics, human meds, or “rescue” solutions passed down from a neighbor.

By the time the dog is brought to the clinic, it’s severely dehydrated, weak, and bleeding.
And now, what could’ve been treated early becomes a life-or-death struggle.

💥 Bottom line:
Parvo is a virus. It doesn’t respond to antibiotics.
Only proper vet care can give your puppy a fighting chance.

🧹 4. Poor Sanitation and High Exposure

Parvo thrives in the environment. It can live in soil, tiles, shoes, and kennels for months.
Even if your puppy doesn’t go outside, you can unknowingly bring the virus home—on your shoes, your hands, or the paws of another dog.

💥 Prevention tips:

Disinfect frequently using bleach-based solutions.

Don’t allow contact with unvaccinated dogs.

Isolate new puppies until cleared by a vet.

📉 5. Waiting Too Long Before Going to the Vet

This is the hardest truth.

Some pet owners wait too long—thinking it’s just a mild stomach upset.
Some are afraid of the cost.
Some say, “Observe ko muna, baka lumakas din.”

But in parvo cases, every hour matters.
The earlier the treatment, the higher the survival rate.
Delays cost lives.

💥 What to watch for:

Lethargy

No appetite

Vomiting

Diarrhea (especially with blood)

Fever

If you see these signs, don’t wait.

🩺 Parvo Is Still Winning—But It Doesn’t Have To

As veterinarians, we are tired of seeing puppies die that could’ve been saved.
Tired of explaining to crying pet owners that the vaccine could’ve changed everything.
Tired of losing innocent lives to a virus we already know how to prevent.

So please, let’s work together:

✅ Vaccinate on time
✅ Buy from reputable sources
✅ Stop self-medicating
✅ Clean thoroughly
✅ Seek vet care early

Because parvo doesn’t need to keep winning.

But if we stay silent, careless, or uninformed—it will.

Protect your puppy. Protect your family.
Let’s stop parvo from stealing more lives.

How Much Is a Vet Consultation? The Real Answer Might Surprise You

Why “Tingin Lang” Isn’t What You Think It Is

“Doc, magkano pa-consult?”
“Check-up lang naman, bakit may bayad?”
“Libre ba ang tingin?”

We hear these questions almost every day. And while we understand where they’re coming from, it’s time to clear the air and explain what a veterinary consultation really means—and why it’s one of the most undervalued services in the Philippines.

👀 “Tingin lang” is not just tingin. It’s clinical judgment.

When a vet examines your pet, we’re not just “looking.”
We’re:

Listening to their breathing and heart rate

Assessing hydration status, pain, fever, and weight loss

Interpreting symptoms based on history, environment, and breed predisposition

Considering possible differentials in our head

Forming a treatment plan

That’s not “tingin.”
That’s medical decision-making.

You’re not paying us just to see.
You’re paying us to know what to look for— and what to do next.

💡 What You’re Actually Paying For During a Vet Consult

Let’s break it down:

📚 6 Years of Veterinary Education:
In the Philippines, a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) is a 6-year program—2 years of pre-vet, and 4 years of core vet medicine subjects, ending with clinical rotations and field work.

🧠 Board Exams + Continuous Learning:
Vets study for years to pass the PRC Veterinary Licensure Exam, and many continue to attend trainings, seminars, and certifications even after.

🩺 Facility Use and Support:
You’re using the clinic, equipment, and the assistance of trained staff.

⏰ Time and Focus:
Whether it’s 10 minutes or 45, your pet is being assessed with full attention, urgency, and professional care.

Just because we’re not doing surgery or bloodwork yet doesn’t mean “walang nangyari.”
Intellectual work is invisible—but it’s the foundation of every successful treatment.

⚖️ You Pay for Expertise, Not Just Action

Ever had a mechanic say, “The problem’s just a loose wire”?
Then he charges ₱1,500—not for the 2-minute fix, but for knowing where to look.

Same with vets.
Sometimes the best consults are the ones that prevent unnecessary medication, tests, or worse—complications.

💬 A favorite quote:
“You’re not paying me for 5 minutes. You’re paying me for the 6 years it took to learn what to do in those 5 minutes.”

🇵🇭 In the Philippine Setting...

We know—it’s common to expect consults to be free, especially in rural areas or low-cost clinics.
But this mindset often overlooks the value behind what seems like a “simple check-up.”

You’re not just paying for a glance.
🐾 You’re paying for years of training, the depth of judgment, and the safety of knowing your pet is in qualified hands.

🩺 A Vet Consult Can Save a Life Before It’s in Danger

Sometimes it ends with simple meds.
Sometimes we catch something early—before it becomes a ₱50,000 emergency.

That alone is worth far more than any consultation fee.

Because when you pay for a consult, you're not just buying advice.
You're buying peace of mind.
You're buying prevention.
You're buying time.

🙌 So, How Much Is a Vet Consult Really Worth?

It’s worth every peso it takes to:

✅ Catch a problem early
✅ Avoid unnecessary suffering
✅ Get the right diagnosis and plan
✅ Know that your pet is in capable, educated hands

So next time you ask, “Doc, magkano pa-consult?”
Know that it’s not just a fee.
It’s a small investment in the life of someone you love.

And that?
That’s priceless.
