BACOOR CITY, CAVITE - Bacoor's Office of Veterinary Services (OVS) vaccinated 370 pets during a free anti-rabies drive at Barangay Mambog 3 and Greentown Villas 1 on August 25, 2026, marking another successful step in the city's mission to achieve a rabies-free community.
A Successful Vaccination Drive in Barangay Mambog 3
The outreach program targeted both dogs and cats, with residents from Bacoor and neighboring barangays bringing their pets to the designated venues at the Barangay Hall and Greentown Villas 1. Anti-rabies vaccination is a critical service that helps prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases, protecting both animal and human health . The OVS has been actively conducting these drives, having vaccinated over 21,000 pets across 37 barangays between January and November 2024, demonstrating a sustained commitment to rabies prevention in the city.
Rabies is a serious viral disease that is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, making vaccination a vital preventive measure . The City Government of Bacoor, through the OVS, regularly schedules vaccination drives in various barangays to make the service accessible to all pet owners. During the 2024 vaccination campaign, the OVS distributed over 8,000 leaflets about rabies prevention and anti-rabies vaccination to effectively promote awareness and encourage responsible pet ownership.
